I agree, something has to be done for the people now; but did nobody see this coming? That is my problem. I could have told you in the spring when house and rent prices went up this was going to be an issue.

And in my mind it would have been better to work with something more permenant that this. Let's work towards a solution; not a band-aid.
Sorry, I wasn't referring to you specifically.

Of course we all saw it coming. But since Alberta has an impotent provincial administration and Calgary has a how-can-I-keep-my-developer-friends-rich mayor, it isn't at all surprising.

Heck, if it takes a CP member to get something as trivial as the smoking bylaw passed, what hope do the current governments have with something like homelessness?

One thing to take from the article:

"There's an amazing turnover of people through the shelter system, so that gives us an opportunity to connect with an additional 3,000 people," said Floyd Perras, the senior operations officer for the Mustard Seed.
