Hey David! Why are public servants not allowed to look out their office windows in the morning? That's their afternoon job! I think the lack of work and imagination when it comes to problem solving by the bureaucratic lifers is a huge part of the problem. They are not thrown out after the citizens vote out their Pol Ministers. Transport Quebec is a great example; Through Lib, PQ and CAQ gov'ts, the roads and supporting infrastructures have failed and continue to deteriorate. Need to clean house at the senior civil service level!
On the homeless situation, I totally agree but would add that housing is secondary to the mental health and addiction problems that most of the homeless suffer from. Many refuse psychiatric treatment, as Canadian law cannot force them. Under current laws, homeless people have to commit a crime, get arrested, charged and then be forced to take their meds. We have seen this situation over and over with one of our schizophrenic cousins. Lawyers informed the parents that since he was over 18, they could not intervene on his behalf in order to protect him and society at large. Lots of reform needed...the status quo ain't gettin' it done!!
