Which I don't think does a whole lot for long term job potential. That being said, the casual labour program in Edmonton that I know of apparently does offer longer term employment to the more reliable people. But how many homeless addicts are reliable? I'm not saying they're blameless in all of this either. Bad decisions cause repercussions. But for all those people telling them to go get jobs - would you hire them? I didn't think so.
