    The homeless here in Toronto, is a whopping $250 Million make work project and sinkhole of taxpayers dollars, to support the loonie left fringe twits who seemingly believe that they know better what to do with my money than I do. Incompetent and communistic bent politicians have put in place these programs for these SELF-Interest groups - let's call them what they are, not special interest - SELF-Interest and self-serving groups (at MY expense) ...

    These useless lumps on the sidewalk are there by CHOICE. there is a small percentage of them with actual mental issues, and as such they should be removed from the street and institutionalised for their own safety. The remaining 90 + % are there by CHOICE ... they emjoy not being disciplined or even resposnible for themselves. They have three hot meals or more delivered to them on the street, they have clean clothing and bedding delivered to them on the street, they receive their welfare cheques, as well as over $200 per DAY in handouts from the bleeding heart public ... the worst thing you can tell them is to get a job, or heaven forbid go to one of the shelters - more ten's of millions of MY money wasted ... and the continueing destruction of our tourist trade and business here in downtown ... I mean what does it take for me to be able to walk the streets in comfort and safety without the constant harrassment and molestation for my money ... I don't have to put up with this brand of intimidation ... telling them to go to a shelter gets the response " what! but they have rules there, man " I worked with and dealt with them from 1988 on ... I DO know what I'm talking about ...
