Report on the poverty around "our place!" Hidden poverty lurking inside Canada - can we eliminate it?

Well people have been homeless for months, for weeks, for years, even decades, they claim.

Some people have been homeless since they were teenagers.

Some had homeless parents.

Some are crazy, a lot might be mental in some way, at least depression and anxiety perhaps.

I see a lot of drugs for some people, others just smoke tobacco, maybe drink a bit, and there's some who don't seem to drink or smoke at all.

It's really sad if people have grown up homeless and still are homeless.

I wonder how many of them have had battles with mental health and drug addiction or alcoholism and tobagism.

I am sorry for anyone who is suffering.  It suffers me but a bit to be homeless so far it's been a short time and I have prospects of not being homeless in a relatively short time.

This is like a bit of a survey by me and my family of the condition of the very poor in Victoria.

They are the part of our family that needs the most help perhaps.

We need to bring in missionaries here to cleanse the spirit of the poor and deliver the sick into treatment and find work for the unemployed and housing for these homeless brother's and sisters of ours.

They can have such a negative experience they have a really bad look on society sometimes, can't help but feel upset that people are "goofs!" and those fucking "rich assholes" who wanna charge 1800 dollars a month for a 2 bedroom apartment.

Between the goofs and the rich assholes, in their minds at least, it's like some of these people are fighting a war of huge proportions just to get from day to day.  The pressure can bear down on them, and there are suicides and deaths by overdose.

It's really scary that they are so bad in shape and can be so in danger of dying and or getting sicker.

The society should care for them, it's sad that they aren't trained how to escape drug addiction and mental illness and become healthy constructive citizens again.

They have rights under the Canadian and Provincial and Local laws to be helped out of their extremely difficult situation.

The government should "enact" those rights with new social programmes desinged at eliminating the "homelessness, addiction, mental illness" plague affecting Victoria and Canada in general.

We are exploiting these people by leaving them in a dire state without much help, and pimping them and their condition for a bunch of jobs and cash money for the drug dealers, charity workers, et cetera.

We owe it to them to help them conquer drugs and mental health crises, and personal crises, and to help them find the ability to work and pay rent in a normal, affordable home for rent again.

We should require that there is enough rental space provided "at cost" so that people can afford to live near their relatives and friends, and not have to live their homeland in search of some "low cost alternative." which is almost always "sub optimal" when you look at.

We are all God's children and we all deserve the best, and we should tax the extremely rich who have everything beyond all measure, almost, and the people who can work should be assigned to help these poor vulnerable Canadian People, off the streets and out of mental health and drug addictions crises.

Okay, God help you to accomplish God's will - which as we know from Quran and Bible is to help these people and help me and my family too.

Canadians are close to God, and some of them, quite close to other spirits too.  So take heed, help them to be close and fine and happy and clean.

One of the other things I just heard around here is that some of these people who are homeless grew up in a Godless situation, without God in their family, and thus may have suffered from some ignorant behavior and abusive experiences of neglect and stuff.

I know Canadian's aren't really murderous pedophiles who hate the poor and want to enslave rape and torture their kids forever, and kill their whole families if they snitch - but the heart attack of having the church say that's what they are like, can be quite a heartache at least - so profound a heartache it is almost a heart attack.

Maybe God has taken me here to look after these poor people and see their plight nad make it so that they can live life well again, with the help of the government nad churches and organizations.
I urge politican and religious leaders to take action, along with business leaders, in ending the mental health crisis and addictions crisis and seeing to it these people get housing and meaningful work.
