The Supreme Court of Canada won't review an Ontario law designed to rid the streets of so-called squeegee kids and outlaw aggressive panhandling.
In a decision released without comment, the high court denied leave to appeal to 11 homeless men convicted under the Safe Streets Act for offering to wash car windshields for money.

Not to mention they tend to leave your windshield worse off than when they started. I probably wouldn't mind if they did a good job, but they do a terrible job consistently. I yell at them when they come near my car.
