Coming from a guy who lives off the government teet, I would expect you to think someone working for a living would be slave labour.
No.
fyi...The author of this post created his own chart and did not provide any links to information sources.
Somehow I suspect being homeless would suck the 'will' out of most people. And as I mentioned before, where is the motivation to work a job and still be stuck living in a tent? So we have option A be forced to live in a tent and mess around playing in the park all day and drinking beer or option B be forced to live in a tent, commute across the city to a job for 8 hours a day with no hope of ever moving out of that tent due to the lack of housing and ridiculous rent and then return at the end of the day to the tent encampment and hope and pray no one stole your stuff or that the city didn't do one of there tent encampment clean ups where you could literally come home from 'work' to find out you no longer have a 'home' because while you were working the city threw you shit in a dumpster because it seemed abandoned while you were at 'work'. I can definitely see the motivation to not work. Like I said before if you offered the homeless population a reasonable solution I suspect most people would take it but they are really not offering anything at all and I know why. The government does not give a fuck. A homeless person is a disposable human being. Oh Canada
If healthy homeless people just want to look at themselves as victims and come up with a million excuses as to why they can't move forward, then I agree they will be stuck there forever.Somehow I suspect being homeless would suck the 'will' out of most people.

They will be stuck there for ever regardless! You can't live in a tent and get a minimum wage job that will allow you to buy your way out of a tent. And like I said, coming home from work to find no more tent is a realistic possibility. And again I'll say, if you did something to help these people, even half of what you do for new comers these people would be motivated to work. I promise you, no one wants to live in a tent.
Based on the article YOU posted The average rent for a studio apartment in Ontario is $1,837/month That mean your entire monthly pay cheque does not even cover your rent. So let me guess....be homeless and work two jobs right? It's an impossible situation to get out of and once they realize that they lose all motivation. I would too.
The article I posted was to show that the author didn't provide any links to sources. The numbers he references could be accurate, or completely false for that reason. The chart he included was created by him and not by another source. That was my point for posting the articel that was referenced in the tweet that was shared by Frankfooter.
Not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that if the government offered some form of supplementation as an incentive to hire a homeless person so that they actually received a livable wage that would help the situation considerably but like I said the homeless aren't viewed as having any potential the way a new comer is viewed.
Of coarse not, your wage should be decided by your skillset and your ability to add value to what ever business you are hired at. The problem is minimum wage is not enough to live off of. At least not in any comfortable way. Working for minimum wage and living in conditions similar to a P.O.W. or someone incarcerated is discouraging and demoralizing.
In order for the government to offer some kind of supplementation, they would need to have the capable homeless work with the government to ensure they are in a program. For the same reasons these people are not seeking work, they won't go through the trouble of working in a program like that otherwise they would already be taking advantage of these programs.
I think it's funny the way you dance around what you really want: Communism.
Skoob hates people.
Programs exist to help homeless find employment while subsidizing training, etc.
I was referring to programs that would allow a homeless person to earn a living wage. As I mentioned significantly more is done for new comers. Hell a homeless person would be better off leaving the country and returning as an immigrant. They literally roll out the red carpet.
I don't disagree with you about immigrants getting much more than domestic homeless.I was referring to programs that would allow a homeless person to earn a living wage. As I mentioned significantly more is done for new comers. Hell a homeless person would be better off leaving the country and returning as an immigrant. They literally roll out the red carpet.
I’m assuming that the government appreciates that newcomers have shown initiative and effort to cross the ocean and chances are they would want to participate in the economy and contribute.I was referring to programs that would allow a homeless person to earn a living wage.

writing them off may seem cruel but is it really that unreasonable?I guess that depends. If you and a family member were walking and they tripped and fell to the ground would you stand there while they got them self together and stood back up or would you reach down and help them up?
