reading this article by Martineau and i am wondering how as a society we got to this point. I did notice a lot more beggars around were i work, and they are aggressive and some are violent.

And yet that numb not Valerie Plante ask for more money to fix the subways, that we will pay like 100-140$ more for our car registration when we don't even use the metro or bus. But smiles and says Montreal is a safe city and there is no issue.

A coworker went to Burger King in Vimont Laval and there as a beggar asking for money so its not Montreal but its spreading everywhere. A lot of homeless are also serious drug addicts and there is also a lot of mental illness.

Sometimes I think that Trudeau really wanted to tank Canada, by brining in so many immigrants, and now we have so many issues cost of life, and rent etc. Pathetic.

The homeless problem is happening all over Canada. Vancouver has it the worst, drug use rampant and homeless everywhere. There is certain streets there with bars and clubs that are going dead due to too many homeless. I blame the Federal government and the people who voted for that party, they had a chance for change yet they voted for the same party again. The problem is the politicians are more concerned with what goes on in the world then what is happening in their own country.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/g7-day-2-trump-iran-israel-1.7562980

^^^^^ This is an example of their priorities. Canada pledges $4.3 billion to Ukraine for a war that has nothing to do with us. With the rampant inflation and all the homeless in Canada, this is their concern. And to add the hundreds thousands of asylum seekers entering daily. Everything is given to them. Any social housing that is built goes first to refugees. They get so much social benefits and free money. What do homeless get? The short end of the stick. The single man is treated like a second class citizen in Canada.

The housing crisis is the single biggest problem is Canada and it is squeezing the middle class. This is manufactured by the Liberals with mass uncontrolled immigration. Carney set targets to limit temporary residents and work permits and even permanent residents but the numbers are still too high. The 5 million or so temporary residents should be all sent back. We should have zero immigration for the next five years till housing supply outpaces demand.

Not sure of those refugees get everything, at least i work with a few middle east guy that were super racist, and always whining that the governement gave them nothing, they had to redo there studies, driving permits etc....

But its true about that money and the Ukraine wtf is that shit. Every other country sent back there refugee Canada is the only place that did not.

I heard that Vancouver and Toronto are a lot worse with the homeless. A guy at work who is gay lives in the village and he tells me horror stories pretty much each time we work togheter. A lot of commerce closed due to this.

I hope Carney does something at least he does seem better then that idiot Trudeau. And yes for immigration this should stop not be reduced. They say they are 25 millions in fonds to help the homeless, but if they don't build housing what is that going to be worth

They are lieing. Look at the Federal government website. I dunno how old you are but back in the days when my parents was raising me all they gave was $20 children allowance. Now they give so much, $700 a month per kid Federal benefit plus $220 (not sure of the exact amount) per month Provincial benefit. When you ask the new arrivals and they say they hardly get anything??? What just want it free. There is a term for them "Gimmigrants". Ppl that want immigration just to get free money and social benefits. I see many new arrivals with 5+ kids. Trust me, everything is given to them. Check the hospitals, they are being crowded due to new arrivals. My family doctor told me this, if you call a hospital they will ask you if you are a refugee. Canada puts refugees on first priority.

Although I have seen homeless persons being issues in American cities (San Francisco has a huge problem, just for example), I was shocked with my first experience with homelessness in Montreal.

It was back in the 2002-2005 time frame, not exactly sure when. I naively believed Montreal was much safer than any American city. Therefore, I behaved accordingly.

It was a Saturday night during Jazz Festival. I was staying at the since closed Hyatt in the Complex Dejardins, which I think is now a Doubletree. I walked from there to the Club Downtown strip club. I am not sure exactly how long that walk is, but I am guessing it's over a mile. Anyway, I actually started out on Crescent Street, had dinner there and then went to the Club Downtown afterwards. At the time, which was over 20 years ago, it was a premium, high quality strip club. Reportedly some agencies recruited there, very aggressively, at that time.

I met a girl there I really liked and ended up spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on her. Back then, the U.S. dollar fetched $1.50 Canadian. I would come up to Montreal with $2000 in cash, change it for $3000, and spend all of it on escorts and strippers.

I was admittedly in much better shape back then. It was an absolutely beautiful evening, and I said to myself as I left the strip club at around 2 am, "it's too nice an evening to call a taxi. Montreal is safe, and I am in good shape. I will walk back to the hotel." I should note, back then I always dressed well when I went out. I was wearing a collared shirt, a sports jacket and dress pants, and dress shoes.

This was a mistake. On my way back, I suddenly noticed movements in the shadows. People were lurking in entrances to buildings and behind concrete supports. I suddenly became aware of them, it seemed. I continued on with a little trepidation when all of a sudden a person was in front of me, blocking my path and in an aggressive or seemingly aggressive stance. This person seemed to come out of nowhere, as if they suddenly were beamed down from the USS Enterprise in Star Trek.

The person then lunged at me, but as he did so, I could see that although he was bigger than me, he was unsteady on his feet. I responded with a hard, two handed shove to his chest which sent him flying and losing his balance- which was much easier to do than it should have been, because he was high as a fucking kite. He wanted to, but was physically incapable of robbing me. His legs were jelly and he could barely stay on his feet.

I continued on at a hurried pace, and looking back I could see that my shove had, for the moment, completely discombobulated the intoxicated homeless aggressor.

I beat a hasty retreat to the Hyatt and never again walked around downtown after midnight after that night. Lesson learned.

Montreal mayor is too soft & woke. We need a hardline no nonsense tough as nails that has no tolerance for crime, homeless, etc

Montreal is turning into one of those Democrat managed cities in the US.

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

I always cringe when I hear/read people linking homeless with general security for any given city. I mean, I understand that at times their demeanors can be upsetting because some can be, verbally agressive, but a direct physical agression on passersby is quite rare, and statistics has proven this. At least here in Montreal. Not because you are scared that it means there’s a real threat.

Just for some facts here, from 2000 to 2004 I was travelling the US east coast for work, you can think of any cities, from Newport ME to Memphis TN, I’ve been there. Let me tell you, the homeless situation was way worst in some of these places. By 2004 I moved to France, also travelled and worked all over the main cities, and guess what? Same problems at the same level, just more violent though.

The reality is, all over the world, poverty grows as fast as wealth, if not faster. We wont escape it, economical growth has a price , no matter where you live.

Tell me EB, are all these crazy mass shooters in the USA homeless?

 

[EagerBeaver]

I never encountered one, but probably not since most homeless persons cannot afford to buy guns. But one has nothing to do with another. I did encounter an aggressive homeless person in Montreal, and it shocked me at the time. Admittedly, my behavior that evening was not very smart.

Oh but they like weaing those LBTQ t shirts gay pride, smiling like everything is fine, all the chaos when they cancelled the gay parade one year, and the next we will have our gay parade. Like this is on top of the list of priorities, profiling, we don't want to sound racist at all catch and release.

Then they wonder why Montreal is going to shits. Violence guns crimes Valerie Plante solution well maybe remove the police guns.... my god who the fuck elects dumb ass like her.

Rambo 2006, Rambo talks to those christians going into Burma, are you bringing any weapons, god no we want peace, Rambo then you change nothing. Violence gets resoved by Violence it was always like this.

Your bully will only stop when you fight him then they turn into pussies that want to be your friend.

I am on Reddit Montreal, and i beg to differ a lot of stuff happens in the metro now, why ya think they put a law no homeless in the metro, read the journal de montreal, they are killing each other amongs them. There is a huge black guy in the metro who harasse people for money.

https://www.reddit.com/r/montreal/comments/1leld5p/harc

And more, so yeah this city is a lot more dangerous then it was 25y ago. This is something seriously wrong when you pass a guy at 10am in the street and look at him and he bashes your head with a metal bar. Then you learn that he was mentally unstable with a huge criminal record and was considered dangerous.

Afraid i don't have the 6 foot 2 260 pound frame to defend myself so yeah maybe not afraid but more on my guard and won't take useless risk going at night around my work area.

 

[CaptRenault]

This is a good measure but why not ban loitering (i.e. living) in the metro all the time instead of just temporarily. Typical progressive non-solution "solution" to a problem.

Montreal to add police presence, limit loitering in Metro amid safety concerns

The City of Montreal, along with Montreal police (SPVM) and the STM, announced new temporary measures implemented in certain metro stations across the city to enhance security and address public safety concerns.

Not true at all. Things changed drastically after covid. I dunno why covid mandates had this effect on society in general, but ppl are more angry, meaner, more greedy and more violent. We are seeing a lot of violent incidents in schools.

The homeless population is more aggressive post-covid. They are much more numerous. 15 years ago, I could walk at 4am in the night and not worry but now I will be very cautious looking over my shoulders, there are so many weirdos. People getting attacked at random is much more common now compared to before. Ask the security guards what they deal with, at my work the building since covid has so many homeless they are running everywhere making a mess and the worst part is they are so aggressive. Asking them to leave and many times they want to fight. This was not the case before covid. The metro is full of them. Since covid especially on Sunday nights you can harassed by so many homeless asking for money and some of these guys are so large. You just never know who can attack. That is why the STCUM is having a no loitering ban due to passengers not feeling safe. I agree. Do you know how often service gets interrupted and it is often a homeless person the cause of it, some making threats to passengers or a homeless walking on the tracks.

Back in 1998 i was doing an intership at La place Dupuis they had some office for CGI, pc migration. There was a lot of homeless, but they were never violent. Wonder if its not related to drug and mental illness.

Who close the psychiatric hospital was it that idiot Legault. So now they have no place to go. A lot of homeless are also now drug addicts so its not homeless anymore. And of course they are not looking at solving the issue just work arounds that will never really work. Montreal used to be safe but now it is not anymore.

Violence, drug and mental health has ALWAYS been a big part of the homeless population, also a big part is a sense of entitlement that has been engrained into society as a whole- people have a right to othe peoples shit- how dare you not give me some of yours????
There is a good solution- look at how Japan handles the situation, roll with their policies and in just ONE year the streets of the US, canada, europe would look completely different, yes that fast

So I will comment on the title, as I don't like blaming the immigrants for this problem, I blame the government, and lack of housing being built.

Yes I know how everyone ties all the problems to immigration, and the American continents are all populated by immigrants, our ancestors were all immigrants. I do not blame people looking for a safe place to move to when they have to leave their home countries for 1 reason or another.

This is the fault of the government and not focusing on building affordable homes. Instead they build expencive condos cheaply, that the average citizen can't afford. (what a scam, selling a single apartment unit in an apartment building, and even though you pay a small fortune, you forever after have condo fees, and can't do anything with your place, needing to follow very specific rules about how you can even decorate.)

On the topic of homelessness though, it has gotten pretty bad. Recently I felt so uncomfortable walking to the hotel downtown after needing to park a distance away, that I broke my own personal rule of independence, and when the person I was visiting offered to walk me to my vehicle, I was a little relieved and accepted. Not that the unhoused are dangerous, 99% of the time they aren't, but assuming they might likely be able to clock me as an escort, just paid, and I don't trust what drugs can do to someone when they are in need of a fix, and see an easy target, and I get it, when there, they are just doing their best to cope with their situation as well.

In the past I have even made acquaintances and friends with those I passed regularly, hearing about their struggles and life, if they found a good place to sleep the night before, and when they were attacked by their peers in the streets too. (Before covid)

Since the insane increase of rental prices, it breaks my heart to see the need for so many tent communities, because the government has failed soo badly. It is a constant reminder, we are all just 1-2 bad decisions away from being in the same position. All it would have to take is my landlord choosing to give where I live, to a family member, and that's where I would be with my kids, unable to afford rent anywhere else if I had to leave. It is an easily removed privledge to have a roof over your head these days.

Hardline for what? You put all the homeless people in jail? You euthanize them? What does hardline mean besides being a strong word?

Just being anti-woke by itself does not resolve any problem. It just gives you the illusion that you have a solution.

The solutions are extremely social. In Europe, some government buys big lodging units or turn unused commercial units into lodging. They sell them to the population at a big rebate. The new owner can renovate and get tax credit back. But they can only resell the unit to the government.

It will take a crazy hardline politician to fix the problem. Like taxing like nuts empty units. About 20% condo in Montreal a fucking empty. Many houses all over as well. People buy and sit on them to eventually resell at a profit, all while complaining that they walk over the homeless on the streets. Shut the fuck up and do something I would tell them...

This is not a one sided problem. Lack of housing is caused by rapid population increase. It is not the immigrant's fault no doubt, it is the fault of the government driven by greed. It takes time to construct housing, you cannot enter 2 million people yearly plus the hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers and expect to balance out demand with supply. This year in the first quarter they had 817,000 people enter Canada. That is insane. This will result in more homelessness because it makes prices go way up. And to add there is a lot more food insecurity. Food banks said they hard record amount of people and even seen some people they never seen before. They cannot keep up with demand.

It is bad government policy. The cause of this is rapid population increase and this represents the biggest threat to us all. Greedy rich people driven by greed that never gets satisfied. You cannot have never ending growing population as if the Earth's resources are infinite. But rich people want to create a scarcity of resources because then prices go up, it benefits them the most. The air is free because it is everywhere, make it limited and now you can add a price to it. The people got to understand this dangerous policy and not elect governments who push for never ending population increase. How much natural habitat we must destroy to house all these humans? Displace animals from their natural habitat plus trees give out oxygen. More humans also means more pollution and crime. There is nothing good that comes out of human overpopulation except making governments and the rich more richer. Homelessness will continue to increase till government tightens the screw on mass uncontrolled immigration.

If they commit a crime yes start putting them in jail, lock up all the parks with high fences at night, make all benches with arm rests in the middle so they cant sleep on them, enforce open drug use, open container, and public intoxication, panhandling, vagarancy laws,those with mental health issues civally commit to get the help they need- if they wont do it themselves someone needs to make them, yes make it difficult for them to be out publicy doing this shit, they will then really seek help- those who dont will go into the shadows, force panhandlers and floppers to go into shelters and provide madatory education and job training programs to live in those shelters
Your borderline communist attitude where people should be forced to house homeless people with their property (that they bought and paid tax on btw) is laughable- giving out free places to live and throwing money at it will not fix it, look at California wasted BILLIONS on it and it just got worse
Fixing the roof over their head problem wont fix a thing for 90% of them, fixing the personal issues that led to no roof will fix things

This should never have passed, my SP went to le tal the landlord was taking them for idiots, he wanted to raise on tenant 300$ per month, the appartement building is falling apart, this guy is a real asshole. My SP he wanted to raise her rent 110$ more per month, they banded togheter and that idiot lost.

​

Cloud500 is right, i was not aware of families seeking asylum here, and its true they all have 3 to 5 kids, at 700$ a pop the governement gives them everything free what a bunch of assholes.

Trudeau was warned about immirgration a long time ago, to slow down because issues were going to happen, but he prefer to ignore (or was it all planned) and put Canada in deep shit Vancouer, Toronto and now Montreal. And they have an article on him at Canadian Tire a was is our prime minister doing now that he is retired, that idiot should be in jail for what he did with Valerie Plante.

The need to attack this problem head on because now everyday something is happening. Also ship back some immigrants, mainly the ones causing trouble.

I worked with 2 middle east immigrant a while back, they were always whining that the governement of Canada offere them better then what they got, raciste against Quebecois, know it all, more intelligent than people here, whining about redoing there drivers license and going back to school and being pissed about there salary since they had 2 kids and a stay home wife.

They were incompetent at there work, always on the phone with there wives and kids, and i was doing there job, i got mad one night i told them if they did not like it here to go back to there home country, the complain to the boss that i was racist. But the boss knew everything and he fired them.

I cannot put everyone in the same basket because i worked with other immigrant that were nice happy to be here, hard working etc. But some of them need to be deported.
