So Vancouver council is going to arrest and institutionalize homeless persons who refuse to "get help" (basically, be institutionalized voluntarily or we'll forcibly do it)
kind of like those old vagrancy laws where people got locked up if they were caught sleeping on the kings land.
Love the spin they put on it..."force them to get help", if there was actual "help" available you wouldn't need to force them, it's because the "help" that's not really available is a whole lot of useless bullshit, that's why people don't voluntarily choose brainwashing incarceration (I mean "help").
Bet the jail system will make $150 dollars a day off each homeless person, just to give them 3 sandwiches a day and a bed. Can't spend more money on shelters though...
The big fatman in the paper is trying to spin it as not a cleanup...just "getting people into shelters" bullshit. I've been trying to get into a shelter for over 6 months, I fucking gave up. If the "shelters" were actually there, if they didn't try to forcibly make people "clean up according to christian principles", if they weren't places where women who go there might get raped or beaten, IF they were actually actually shelters and not money sucking ripoffs of the system...so much bullshit...
Somebody's paper bag is gonna get filled up for this scam...
