The Police State has absorbed all resources while decimating our competitiveness, forcing our best and brightest out of the nation.
This number is going to skyrocket. It will probably double again in less time, perhaps two years instead of three.
I will soon be joining these ranks thanks to the G-dless devils in this country.
TORONTO — The number of homeless people in Toronto has more than doubled between the spring of 2021 and last fall, a newly released survey showed.
Toronto's Street Needs Assessment survey estimated that 15,400 people were homeless in Toronto last October, up from about 7,300 in April 2021.
"These data highlight the failure of multiple systems, such as affordable housing, health care, mental health, income support, and the justice system," a city report said.
"People are left with nowhere to turn, and the shelter system or staying outdoors become the last resort."
The report said the increase in Toronto mirrors the situation in Ontario and across Canada after the COVID-19 pandemic directly affected homelessness rates.
"Specific groups continue to be overrepresented among those experiencing homelessness, outlining the need for targeted investments and specialized supports," it said.
The report said nine per cent of homeless people in the city identified as Indigenous, while Indigenous people make up three per cent of Toronto’s overall population.  It also said 58 per cent identified as Black, while Black people represent 10 per cent of the city's overall population.
