I bet a lot of people who use fentanyl read these articles. All they care about is their next high, not help. Tired of the enabling and glad the safe injection sites are being closed down near schools. For once the Ontario Govt. is doing something right.
Sorry,but don’t agree with this one.. I am status, but tired of the money being giving to those who feel entitled, money given goes into the pockets of leaders who don’t lead, they just keep taking it from their own communities and live the high life. When will this stop, when is enough enough?
Have police, fire and ambulance been consulted? I know most of the community does not want the encampments at all. Will they be policed to make sure the rules are followed? Are they policed now? Will this be a by law, and if so, who will enforce it?
I understand the frustration. Can you imagine being a paramedic, firefighter or police officer in the community these days? Not saying he was right or wrong. Kinda hope he gets a light sentence and gets to keep his job or no sentence at all like everyone else gets. Same for Mr. Frankow.
#1 This is a Provincial issue, go to Queens Park for your demonstration.#2 It doesn’t have to close, it has to move.#3 You want to stop deaths from overdoses, stop drug use.
Probably a good idea to step back from this one and let the union work for their employees just like police and fire services did. You don’t want to make enemies with any of our emergency services. They are all valuable.
I have to say that people don’t run for council for the money, but they certainly should be paid for their time. There are jobs out there for students that would pay that much in 4 months if you factor in overtime. Yes a few less councillors would be nice, but I don’t think they are being overpaid.
They think taxpayers are printing their own money. I don’t even have spare change for the people asking for it each and every time I go out. Hard time paying my bills, putting a roof over my head, buying groceries….stop the insanity.
Hopefully able bodied neighbours will step up to the plate to help seniors out. With the size of the bins it will probably take a while for seniors to fill them up so they may only need help with them once a month.
Ch’Ng if you’re looking for votes I doubt you will get them from the people in shelters. Although Imhave empathy for the homeless I also feel that the tax payers should also fall under the human rights approach.
Yup, immigrants are here but the only time I see them is when they are working or out and about doing their business….just like the real of us. They don’t want a hand out and. They are not afraid to work….unlike some.
I have befriended two homeless people, a male and female. They are my friends. They don’t do drugs, don’t drink alcohol and are struggling to survive. Both have children who do not live with them, but try to give them what they can. I have given everything I can to help them out. One chooses to live in a tent all winter. I have given that individual a very warm sleeping bag, winter jacket and boots. The other moves indoors in the winter, a sketchy place. That person says they feel safer in an encampment. I wish I could do more for them. Good people in a bad place, but not all are like that.
City council is messed up, you want people to live here, but you are forcing them out with your agenda and high taxes. Hope the people who want the soccer plex can afford to use it when all is said and done, hope you can afford a larger homeless village because you are forcing more people there….then, who’s going to pay for it. Enough already!
