again... not lies. run it through AI. you will see it yourself. (in case you really dont feel like it, well here it is): The City of Toronto does not fund a fixed, publicly listed number of sociological studies annually. Instead, it funds social research, data analysis, and program...

I agree, but I would also argue that in Toronto, local politics is pretty far left - not quite Vancouver levels thank god, but almost. Most local politicians are card carrying NDP. A lot of these sociological studies are grounded at the local level and funded by City of Toronto to justify...

Amen. The thing I disagree with is that drug addiction is both a medical problem and a moral failing. There's truth to both. I dont think people are looking the other way because they "blame" them, rather, I think its just uncomfortable and goes against our Canadian values of being 'nice'...

This is what I call typical LEFT. they would just cancel any dissent.

A moderator just deleted another one of my responses. Again, no reason cited. Again, did not violate any terms, i was just defending myself. Seems they have a mandate! cant wait to see what they delete next.

First of all, the stats I provided show that drug and mental health issues ARE very common among the homeless - 73% and are accounted for at least 40% of the reason they are homeless in the first place. These need to be fixed first before you can really solve homelessness for them. the...

Im not trying to fix housing issues. im trying to fix the drug problem and mental health issues these people have. start there.

wow... you guys asked for stats, i provide them, now im gaslighting. cant win i guess.

Ok.. here's some stats I found. This is a Gov of Canada report. I will cite it for your reference. (https://housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/homelessness-sans-abri/reports-rapports/mental-health-substance-use-sante-mentale-consom-substances-eng.html#toc_7d) It shows that almost 73% of...

yeah, lots of things are "studied" - it doesnt make them facts, or make them correct. Everyone knows there's a huge bias on the left, and these studies are all left wing.

Dont need studies. I know human nature.

I dont agree. It creates an incentive to NOT work. why work when the government will provide everything you need right?

I just wanted to let everyone know that the moderator just deleted a bunch of my posts. None of which were offensive or violated any terms. Just wiped out. I guess they dont agree with me politically so its just ok then?

what i found, for me is most of the time I take the 34 if im going less than 3-4 stations away. i just wait for the next bus to come by and i find that its faster... not by a lot, but when you factor in having to walk 3-4 blocks to get to the station, go down all the escalators, wait for 3-4...

so true... the difference between the experience of riding on line 5 vs line 6 is night and day...

we have security, ive seen what they do to the homeless, and thats basically nothing. they just ask them to move but ive never seen an actual removal from the ttc. Its funny or sad, not sure which as yesterday I literally saw a TTC supervisor ask a woman who was sitting on the floor with her...

Tell that to the family of those who have been murdered or those assaulted on the TTC. no amount of arguing the "cruelty" will convince normal people that they should not be being treated. and nobdy is arguing for inhumane treatment. It just seems to be a talking point that because X...

yes, we've all heard these tired old arguments before... and look where its got us.

I never said doing the hard thing was cheaper, but its the right thing to do. What is the alternative? Just give them free shit? wont solve the problem either and will just create a reverse incentive to getting better.

you are forgetting one important fact. A free apartment, free food, free drugs WONT fix the problem.. Will just create a bunch of new ones and a lot of resentment among the community that has to pay for all of it.
