They closed down the mental hospital which put a lot of people on the street who shouldn't be on the street and left no place for new people in need.

Then we have other cities and provinces giving homeless people one way bus tickets to here to get rid of their own problem.

(Edit And then it's the best climate in Canada if you are going to be homeless so they make their own way here often enough as well. )

Among a lot of things that can be done, we really need them to reopen the mental hospital. A lot of those people just won't get the support they need via other services.
