Go look at every major jurisdictions expenses, the same massive S.I.C while all other social nets are defunded and eliminated. They then wonder why there is such homelessless from the lower caste.
In some ways it is a reminder of California but Calis problem is massive misuse of funds that were actually allocated to correct the problem but clearly the theft prevented it. I think the DOJ should investigate the waste in Cali from the billions stolen that were supposed to help the homeless to the overruns on their fast track rail project.
Canada is the exact same in every jurisdiction. It's disgusting that we cannot assist the most vulnerable when we are a wealthy nation.

Two groups are taking Montreal health and municipal organizations to court over safety concerns related to unhoused populations in their neighbourhoods.
Quebec Superior Court authorized the class action suits filed by residents and merchants in Milton Parc and Devonshire (near the old Hotel-Dieu Hospital) against Sante Quebec, the Montreal Central South regional health authority (CIUSSS), the City of Montreal and homeless organizations. They are demanding $25,000 per person for material damages, including vandalism, personal injuries and “other consequences of behaviours of the unhoused with addiction and/or mental health problems.”
The claimants say the suits are not directed at unhoused people, but at public officials who decide to set up services in their neighbourhoods without considering local residents and merchants, a news release from the Center for Research-Action on Race Relations (CRARR) reads.
“We are residents, voters, owners, taxpayers and people who have for years contributed to the vitality of our neighbourhoods,” said Devonshire resident Éric Faille. “Yet suddenly, elected officials and bureaucrats from elsewhere decide to parachute homelessness resources into our community without consultation, information or consideration for our health and safety. That is simply unacceptable.”
Groups in Montreal’s historic Chinatown neighbourhood joined the two other groups at a news conference, and many residents are considering a similar class action.
