Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.

"Are you become homeless"

Are you high? That isn't even a sentence.

I think he's just riffing on the meme.

I am all for finding housing for the homeless, but I don't buy their argument that they have a community that needs to be preserved on expensive real estate.

I am sure this was a joke but we do have a facility just down the road from my place.  https://www.squamishhelpinghands.ca/programs-services/under-one-roof-1/

Squamish is pretty expensive as well, but it is a lot less than downtown Vancouver.  If it can be done there for a reasonable price then great, but I don't see the downtown homeless community as doing anyone any favours and the money should be spent for the best results.

On the anniversary...

...Maclean’s published an article focusing on a nearly half million dollar bank transfer received by Gabriel Wortman, the man who killed twenty-two people during an hours long crime spree in Nova Scotia. During the massacre, Wortman was dressed as a police officer. The Maclean’s article more than strongly suggests that the type of payment transfer involved is only ever made as part of Canadian police remuneration of confidential informants.
