Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yes, that's part of the problem. Pay for rehab with what money? Homeless shelters also aren't a solution to homelessness, because shelters are not housing.
No. The rehab is free.
Province is even putting people up in apartments.
Only rule is: no drugs in the apartment and you enroll in a free rehab program. 80% are turning it down willingly.
Drug addiction doesn't work that way. Imagine if the only way to get housing was to quit smoking cold turkey. Very, very few people will succeed. Some of the homeless have tried to kick their habit and failed, so very few people would want to fail abstinence and go back on the streets.
Please don't create straw man arguments.
I never said cold turkey or abstinence. I said "no drug use in the free apartment."
