All you have to tell them is "see you latte".There is a new practice taking hold in the core and the cops are doing NOTHING about it.
Beggars are coming INTO Tim Horton's, Starbuck etc and walking up to tables begging for money or juest standing there, right at your table. It is creepy, especially intimidating for young women.
And the poor $11/hour staff are wise not to confront them.
All it would take is a concerted effort/blitz by police to nip this in the bud.
She's tried to bum a cigarette a few times but I think she knows me well enough after a few death stares.Do you at least buy her a coffee?
I'm not Oprah.If you are saying what I think you are saying, perhaps you could give up part of your own assets and give a homeless person a place to live.
Did java try telling them to fuck off?From the espresso on their face, I don't think they believe me.
May Mother Parker ass on your face.Leaf me alone. You Tea Baggers have your own Forums!
Can't these annoying homeless be charged with loitering or vagrancy?[/QUOT
Most of these people carry no ID. Cops don't waste time on them. Business owners choose to ignore them. Mall cops are the only people who chases them out.
Maybe they can go Elliot Ness on them and get them for tax evasion?There was a charter challange. Begging was found to be "free speech" so the cops can do nothing about beggers unless they are violent etc.
Nobody in Canada want to pay for a decent welfare system. So suck it up/I'm sick of going to Starbucks and seeing the same homeless girl lying on the bench outside stinking to high heaven.

No, we pay for a disfunctional one that funds people's drug habits rather than their livelihood. Welfare is supposed to be a safety net, not a means to a lifestyle. I have no problem pitching in for a functioning and well-monitored welfare system.Nobody in Canada want to pay for a decent welfare system. So suck it up/
welfare for a single person, no kids is between 5 and 6 hundred a month. when i drove cab i picked up 2 guys that were both single and had to split rent on a single room above a shitty welfare bar, 1 paid rent the other paid for food. 1 slept on the floor, the other slept in the bed and they switched every other night. i asked why they didn't get a couch and they said the room wasn't big enough. neither had any skills what so ever and were in their late 50's early 60's and would never get hired anywhere. so they were fucked and it was the best they could do and had to look forward to spending the rest of their lives like that.No, we pay for a disfunctional one that funds people's drug habits rather than their livelihood.

But all I need to do is look out my window to see how crappy the current system is. My neighbours are on welfare. Three kids and the two parents. All five are on drugs (the youngest is thirteen). The mom works three days a week for 5 hours each day (custodian). The dad doesn't work, even though he's repeatedly been offered a job by someone down the street who is a carpenter. The oldest son has went through five jobs in the last two years because they keep firing him for not showing up. The younger two don't work, even though the older one is 20 and out of school for 3 years. They live in subsidized housing. They don't exactly live it up, but they have enough money to eat well, watch cable, buy a beat up RV and a boat, buy multiple vehicles (older models), buy two packs of cigarettes a day and buy enough weed that they are perpetually high.
As far as I'm concerned, welfare should provide enough funding for a place to stay, adequate food, and clothing. That's it. If it provides enough funding to live a comfortable lifestyle many will choose that rather than seeking something self-sustaining.
Are you kidding me?Nobody in Canada want to pay for a decent welfare system. So suck it up/
