This is Olivia Chow's Toronto. 13 million dollars to change Dundas square to Sankofa while drugs and homelessness get ignored. This govt. is disgusting.
what an imbecile. nothing you are talking about is a result of her time in office moron. not the renaming of the square of the homeless situation. nobody with a functional brain would entertain your nonsense. And i see the video maker liking your comment so you must all be morons. the encampments have been around since covid years.
The scary thing is you could work both a full time job and a part time job at the same time, and still not be able to afford to live in a home in Toronto. Not all the people that live on the streets are dealing with addiction or mental illness, some are working sixty hours a week.
Yes Toronto and GTA homes are very expensive like any other major city. Hopefully they will build more affordable housing and get more people off the streets. Thanks.
@@KMcirca82 no one is being prosecuted or even given a breather in jail so they are legal in the eyes of druggies, dealers, politicians and the average Joe.
Check out Lakeshore and Jarvis under the Gardner Expressway, Kensington Market park, Allen Gardens between Gerrard and Carlton, even Lakeshore East now next to the fencing of Canada Post South
the one with the hijab a t 1:30 is not homeless, I guarantee she is getting tons of government support. There is a woman that does the exact same thing here in Calgary. Has a sign that says "HELP ME I HAVE KIDS THAT ARE HUNGRY" (or something along those lines). Yet she has time to come and stand at an intersection in a plaza with her sign every day for hours. Obviously someone is watching the kids and she has spare time...GET A JOB.
There are many of them with the same sign all over the city, and people say the same as you, it's some type of scam. Hopefully people don't get taken advantage of.
A lot of them will leave there oldest child to watch the rest, you really don’t know what your talking about, maybe go meet some of these people first hand, you’ll see alot of the same signs about a death in the family and a lot do those you know can tell are fake, a lady holding a sign for food for her children is not a scam she has more balls then you to deprive herself on that corner to make money, do you know how many foreigners are unhoused? I spend hours walking the Toronto streets talking with migrants there are so many living on the streets with there entire family it’s insane
@@jimrudolph2864 there is many public showers, you don’t need to be dirty to be homeless, a lot of them actually do take care of themselves and use the washing machines, it’s the far gone ones that are all dirty and grimy and they are not the one you want to give your money to anyways! Next time you see a clean homeless person try to make conversation don’t be rude but ask about the way they live daily give them some money or food and actually sit and talk to a human rather then scoffing at them thinking they are just “Vagrants” as most do, if you really get to the real story a lot of them are not there by choice and if they are it’s because they are running from problems in there family life or the country they may have come from, I’ve been trying for months and still can’t find a job in Toronto I have to leave to do work to be able to come back to look for more work in Toronto, if anyone would like to walk around the city with me and see a different side please feel free to reach out, I know plenty of small community’s that will completely change your concept of Toronto, the people really are working together to help each other it’s not as dark as people see it as
@@jimrudolph2864 you don’t need to be dirty to be homeless, there are so many resources within the city to take care of yourself with free showers food banks and other places that give out free supplies such as some clinics with anyone under 25 can get there stuff for free, there is so many programs that provide resources maybe not enough, but if you see someone dirty on the street that’s drugs and they choose to be that way, don’t blame it on a homeless problem because it’s not it’s drugs, I know plenty of homeless people that take showers literally everyday
You can see the severity of their mental illness and drug addiction by the state of living condition. You have the guys in compounds complete with a generator, heater, ebike, tv, fridge, bedroom, then you have the guys on the sidewalk inside a plastic bag.
Send money to ukrain Truedo u make this beautiful country in a big mess, too much immigrants without any facilities and put Canadians in major problem even no way to correct it. Shame on all Canadians globally
Average temperatures range between -6 degrees Celsius (21 degrees Fahrenheit) and -1 degree Celsius (30 degrees Fahrenheit). But we do get streaks of temperatures below -20 (-4 Fahrenheit) with wind chill often. They open up warming centres for the homeless to shelter in when it gets too cold, though many continue to camp outside.
No. Sadly, people cope with the abuse they suffer in different ways. Some end up addicted to drugs. With rent as high as it is today, people without addictions end up on the streets.
This is an old video most of these camps have been cleared out months ago, I was just at that church no tents or fences, most these parks were when it was at its peak
@@missf4681 not sure but not there, haven’t seen many parks full of them anymore like 5 at most, half of the park in Kensington has alot of them but the main spot is still clear for people to sit, I’ve seen a few small parks that will have a small cluster together but nothing like you see on this video, like all these spots are pretty cleared out just a couple tents here and there, the park with the TPS is pretty clear now too, you can even see a spot where all their confiscated stuff is
Thank you, hopefully some of these people have found a way off the streets, these encampments were no place to live. I’m happy to hear the parks can be enjoyed by all. Thanks for the update.
Hopefully some found housing, but sadly many just move somewhere else. I don’t know if I’ll film the new one, but a lot hidden in the bushes around Cherry Beach area, also a huge one growing around Lakeshore and Leslie and more locations. But more places to camp and be hidden in summer.
@@dgabit yeah that makes sense, same with in Kitchener most the people were pushed outta camps in Cambridge so now Kitchener is awful in some spots it’s really bad, I’ve slept in a lot of these parks in Toronto and for the most part yeah they will just be pushed from camp to camp but there are a small section that aren’t drug users that are just trying to survive solo but rent is fucked so I’ve seen a few people living in tents well they work and just said fuck paying rent, able to save up a couple extra hundred a month at least
It should never be like this in this Country for the amount of money this country has not only this country but all over north america the government is so unorganized about this .Not everybody can help themselves.
Make a video at TMU toronto Metropolitan University it's a shit show with workers being attacked and workers getting poked with needles in garbage bags that they have to change and everything drugs everywhere needles in the gardens and all
No. That’s a an excuse that people use for not helping the homeless. People want a roof over their heads. Even a small space where they can life in privacy. It’s a lie that the homeless PREFER to live on the streets. The shelter system is mismanaged and people don’t feel safe.
I think most people would be a little more understanding and empathetic if the vast majority of the homeless were not absolute pigs and slobs when it comes to thier surroundings and personal property. I can go into any wooded area in London Ont and find tons of leftover garbage left by homeless encampments, they destroy an area and then move on to the spot to destroy.
No… a hobo is a working homeless who rides trains, doesn’t do drugs and doesn’t steal. A bum is someone who is homeless who begs or something like that.
The new homeless want shelter and they want to work and climb up.The other 8 categories of homeless from criminal, Narciccistic, mentally ill to game players and lazy are wasting your time. Mind you if you find a young healthy 20 something then help them get a student loan for school or trades.
@@dgabit yes... but their phone centre's are always full and rarely call you back. I was nearly homeless last summer because my landlord was trying to illegally kick me out. I have always paid rent on time, they wanted more money. All homeless shelters are full. There is not enough help here.
