  1.  @burleybater  <where she is not allowed to have a social life.> As in endless partying and drug use at the expense of peace and quiet for her neighbors. <Oh, and by the way. She's not a girl. She's a grown up woman.> Not mentally. She's stuck in her teens. <If they take the place back too, I'd say that's grounds for a fight.> For what? It was never her place to begin with. They have every right to take it back as she proved herself unable to follow simple rules to maintain it.

  8. I lost a female friend of 12 years to Fentanyl just last month. Condolences. I would plead the same thing. Stay away from drugs at all costs.

  10.  @eletakelley7188  That only applies to housing built from 2018 to present. <What Harris did to health care, seniors housing and hydro,> You must have forgotten ho Rae left Ontario bankrupt by the time he was finally voted out. Plus, that was Ontario's first formal experience with rent control. Near 0% vacancy rates, no new housing built, people unable to find housing, etc.

  11. Because they have a fixed address albeit not their own.

  13.  @doncorleone2713  <"Hard to house", that means through drug addiction or mental illness they cannot function in domestic environments. > Or just plain old immaturity.

  14.  @CHodgy  You hate the truth about those people more than the poster does the people themselves.

  15.  @DAndyLord  Society is gynocentric like that.

  20. Canada in general is not a place you'd want to be homeless in.

  21. <especially Edmonton where the rent is much chipper than any other big city.> Not named Montreal.

  22.  @kassieh5794  In Canada's case, that would be secular humanism/Atheism hurting the fabric.

  27.  @teagoldleaf4137  Definitely better than the NDP. That's for sure. The NDP were a perennial one-term party for a reason.

  29.  @carmenneumann9479  Maybe, but the poster is right. They made their choice. Let them live with the consequences s in peace.

  30.  @9UaYXxB  <The shelters are an incredibly regimented 'option', as described, once in the doors you surrender your autonomy... > So? The shelters have the right to impose whatever regulations they deem fit.

  31. <But when homelessness caused by a greedy land lords, who raised the rents beyonds the levels of people's capacity, in this case, the government should step in & put an end to such a greed.> The government you want stepping in to put an end to this so-called greed is the reason why those "greedy" landlords have to raise the rent in the first place. Restrictions on how much rent they're legally allowed to collect to cover the ever-rising basic operating costs. Never mind the repair and legal costs of trying to evict a bad tenant.

  32.  @Mikinaak2023  It effectively weeds out the undesirable.
