Working in Downtown, I can't help but notice the growing Homelessness problem in Vancouver. They are not all drug population. Hobos from around the realm of Canada flocks to downtown Vancouver, the warmest city in our nation. Posting in a Chinese-Conservative forum, I expect most of you to bash the population being lazy. Yet, I want to see your view's on this.
I noticed my white co-workers at LD, they continue to glorify the Homeless people. They see them as Neo-Hippies, former rebels from the Hippie movement. This situation amuses me because I was raised in the Westside of Vancouver, I have never dealt with people living in the Bohemian livestyle. As many of you know, Hitler is one of those Bohemians living in proverty because his reign.
Anyways, It's sad when I go on a cruise at night, I go from SW Marine Drive such posh neighborhood down to the slums of Hastings. How can Heaven and Hell be so closed together?
In Canada, Homelessness is a very acceptable culture, we are a socialist country after all. Homeless people are beneficial to environmentalism, they forage for left-over foods, recycle our pop cans, wash our windshields. In closed society such as America, China or even Hong Kong, Its not okay to be homeless, you gotta have a job, gotta have a family, gotta be rich. Sticking to conformity without the lack of diversity, the people in power are living in fear of the ill-normalcy. Normal=Docile, easy to manipulate. I hate Big government, stop telling us how to live.
唔可以怪晒佢地, 或怪政府. 社會現象人人都要付一D責任.
1) 大氣候係經濟, 經濟好自然多D就業機會, 但錢唔一定落到佢地度.
2) 就業同創業門檻高, 如果可以降低D, 同埋可以考慮多發小販牌可能會有幫助.
3) 鼓勵某些行業聘請佢地.
etc. etc. etc. many things have to do in order to solve this problem. no single solution can solve it. and kick them out doesn't solve the problem, and they are human, canadian citizen, just that they are poor. And, someone out, someone will get in.
（1）有無發覺。每年年尾。tv 會 show homeless people 既新聞。係 every year。
（2）有無諗過：homeless 既背後係乜。mental illness。drug。outlaw in general。
（3）如果比你做政府。點解你唔立法將所有 outlaw 消滅。好似噴殺蟲水咁。
（4）who gets the benefit by advertising homelessness on tv。
（5）當年既 woodwards building 事件。我有個 friend。有人比錢佢。嚮果度訓。around 50 to 100 dollar。dont remember the exact amt。啲錢嚮邊度黎。
世界真係好複雜。香港法例叫做非法佔用公地。但係加拿大既 homeless 有啲唔同。小弟都係一知半解。好多 social political reasons。
