Vancouver ends homelessness

Homelessness is Over!— if you want it.
Visit http://homelessnessisover.ca/main.php?mod=connect&linkuri=connect to find out about ways you can take action.

When enough people stand up and demand it, we can beat the years of government apathy and neglect and see Canada go from being the only G8 country without a national housing strategy to a world leader in addressing homelessness.

Vancouver ends Homelessness imagines that the Government has invested in social housing and ended homelessness in Vancouver. This video asks people to believe in the possibility of a city without homelessness and then get involved in making it happen.

You know you want it— now let's make it happen!

What is this? Homeless wasn't over at all when I walked down Hastings TODAY!

this is a lie HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't understand how this video came about......Is this a plan to show that BC is ahead of the game. That is not right. When I drive down town I see more people living in the streets than before. This is all a lie provided by our gorvernament. I am now looking at living in the streets, because I am forced to move out of my home because social services told me that i had too. This is a complete lye.

the only way to end homelessness in Vancouver is with an automatic machine gun let loose on downtown eastside with one million bullets

Heroine and Crack- that's the problem. Who cares where they live.

What does Canada do when the people given a room in this building, at 2AM for no reason start their nightly screaming and ranting, resulting in the neighbor busting the door down & shutting (or cutting) them up? What to do when they flood the bathroom while hysterically cursing on a crystal meth 10-days-and-nights-madness-run­? Like to live in a building like that? It's amazing Canada has solved everything & no more homeless problems.

But something just doesn't feel quite right about this...

this is lame.i see people every day on the streets------------but are they choosing that? is having a "house" for everyone, what everyone wants? is that protecting women and children in substance abuse families in the downtown east side and other places in vancouver? oh and BTW- i jsut want to say that guy who was the "last homeless" person--- his house is damn better than mine! i want one too!

[bobchimem]

just sweep homeless people into the house (any kind of house). then there is no more homeless on the street. it works very simple.
