Can’t post this in r/Winnipeg because they shadowban anyone who is conservative.
But Winnipeg is getting absolutely nuts. I drove in from the cottage through downtown for the first time in ages and WOW what a sight.
The bus shelters are full of people sleeping, literally with pillows and blankets. Trash everywhere. Intoxicated people walking in the middle of the road.
Just crowds of them everywhere. It’s an absolute circus and shithole of a city.
Toronto is no different. Can't smoke a cigarette without at least one trying to vulture one off you as they look to the ground for smokable butts
I honestly think Winnipeg might be worse. There are packs of drunk bums everywhere.
Trudeau needs to apologize to the homeless!!!!
What the hell? Does the brutal winter not kill off all the junkies and crack heads every year, or at least prune them back a bit?
Kills them in Saskatoon (the cold). Lol.
The truth is that almost all of winnipeg street people are natives and they have always been jobless regardless of pandemic. winnipeg has been like this for years. They are still around in the winter but maybe some of them go back North to the rez.
They survive solely off social assistance and aid from christian organizations such as Siloam Mission for food and shelter. Oh and theft. They survive off that too. Don’t mind me if I sound bitter I’ve just had my truck windows smashed on more than one occasion by these useless bastards. Crime in Winnipeg is horrific and almost entirely one demographic
Yep. It’s really all cities with a high native population having these problems. Thunder Bay, Regina, Saskatoon, Brandon, Winnipeg, etc. All the assistance is just perpetuating the problem. If they didn’t have the 24 hr warming stations and food more of them might go back to whereever they came from. Most of these people probably have kids in the system too while they are just on the streets being bums. Shit’s fucked. Feel bad for the kids
