A few years ago I would've been pretty disgusted with this, but now with frequent contact with entrenched homeless I think it's needed.
There are those few that just seem to be stuck in addiction and anti-social behavior and permanent incarceration or exile are about the only other options. You'd need some robust safeguards though so that it's only used as that last resort after exhausting other options.
Or Canada could fix its social issues to slow down the flow of destitute people.
Surely you mean "and"? I may not have been clear in my previous comment but my point is there is a very small minority that can't be helped in the other ways. That doesn't mean you shouldn't also do all the other things since it's just a very small group that can't be helped that way and that'd be silly.
The state will do anything but fix the root cause IMHO.
Hence why I don't never shill remedial programs. The regime caused these problems and now using taxpayer money to be the "good" guy.
This scheme here specifically is fucking abominations. Literally recipe for abuse. Nobody will be helped but many people will absued by the system. This is regime 101.
