John Nunziata is a damn fool to think he is going to get rid of pan handlers. It would be easier to get rid of incompitent politicians like Sheila Copps than pan handlers. At least you can trust a pan handler.
I agree with love da booty.
Why not get rid of panhandlers?
Instead of the cops running around harassing massage parlours, let them do some good and stop all the damn panhandlers.
I HATE sitting in my car and some guy is standing 2' outside the window holding a tim horton's cup out. 99 percent look pretty healthy to me. I don't like getting up at 6:00 am either, but i do.
The panhandling situation is BAD downtown, you can't walk 50' and you are right into another guy asking you for change. I don't mind the guys who sell the newpaper, but that's where i draw the line. It drives you crazy and i am sure the tourists hate it too.
There is no reason in the world why anyone should be panhandling. There is welfare, there is subsidized housing, better yet, there is WORK to be had.
As far as sheila goes, she does her job. That by-election thing was a farce, but she does her job.
