Weird to see a picture of the Conservatory of Music in Victoria, BC, Canada in a US sub. Did you grab a random photo off the internet for this meme?

Edit: Not saying Canada is better or worse than the US on homelessness. It just fells bot-farmish to post about something in one country with a picture from a completely different place. Like posting about protests in France and using a picture of a protest in Montreal.

Yeah and at the very least the BC provincial Supreme Court ruled that people have the right to some form of shelter, even outdoors in public spaces if adequate shelter can't be provided by the local authorities. Unlike the US.

Montreal might as well be France for anyone not from either place.

Sorry, I don't really see how that invalidates the overarching message here

Clearing encampments is only ethical if there is housing to put them in.

However there is also a limit to how many used needles a student should dodge in their way to kindergarten.
