The Canadian gov't under the harper Conservatives and the Liberals before have destroyed the social safety net of this country.
Ironically, most of that safety net was created after the last depression.
Homeless in the streets are a product of poor government policy and lack of accountability to the people. Money that is earmarked for poverty services goes right into the hands of already rich contractors who dish out services that don't even come close to covering the needs of the poor.
Food clothing and shelter should be a basic human right, not tied to religious institutions, the ever present brainwashing strategy that organized religion has always used.
So Chrysler went tits up eh?
Take that fucking 3 Billion we going to save their bullshitting corporate asses with, and start rebuilding our social safety net fast, that $50 Billion the gov't just stole from the EI surplus would sure help too. But 3 billion could turn a lot of fucking warehouse space into cubicles for canadians that are falling through the massive cracks Harper keeps widening.
