Breaking news from retard world; high rents cause homelessness!
It took a team of researchers funded by the Pew Charitable Trust to unearth that nugget of wisdom. Any team of researchers funded by Pew would have to have multiple Ph Ds on board just to write the grant applications!
While I don’t mean to throw shade on their breakthrough discovery, there’s another cohort that figured this out long before the Pew-funded research team, and they did it without a single penny from any charitable foundation. Most of them don’t even have university degrees!
I’m talking about every homeless person who finds themselves homeless because they can’t afford rent.
CBC has a story on view about homelessness in Abbotsford BC. Sounds like most of the homeless folks actually work! This is the promise of Canada in 2024; work your whole life and then spend your golden years, still working, in a broken down camper in the parking lot of a gas station on the Trans Canada highway.
And when you get evicted from that parking lot, CBC will treat you to a taste of fame!
Fortunately for my mental health, CBC isn’t just about bad news. Nope! Canada is gonna regain the respect of our allies by building a whole bunch of subs and icebreakers! “A whole bunch” means a whole bunch of billions. Isn’t that great! No longer will PM Fluffy have to hang his exquisitely-coiffed head in shame when he walks into a NATO meeting!
A whole bunch of billions means many hundreds of billions we’re spending so we can curry favour with our allies. I personally am not all that impressed with our allies, especially the boss ally, who’s claim to being an actual democracy grows more tenuous by the day.
If it were up to me, I’d say fuck the allies, and let’s see what we can do for the folks in that parking lot off the Trans Canada.
