WARNING: Some videos herein may be considered harsh or apathetic in nature.  They are on this site for two reasons: to educate tourists and locals alike.  Though there is no substitute for spending "quality time" with youth and involving them in activities, these vids may be considered an aid for some in helping to educate teens without rubbing their faces in it.

As a person on low-income and with disabilities myself I would like to enforce the fact that beggars can use food not money.  Cash usually goes to illicit drug use or abusive handlers, further enabling the dealers, not the addicts.  With "story tellers" your being played so act smart and give money to the buskers that pay for their licenses.

The most decrepit suffer the most and are often mentally infirmed, street-drug addled or not.  If compelled "buy" food (not at convenience stores, many buy back at 1/2 price) or give away your doggy-bag.  What you see in these videos is a learned response which should be an embarrassment and disgrace to all Canadians.
