BC Housing 'concerned' about Kamloops mayor's unannounced shelter visits - Kamloops News

Was that a reply to me ?? Lmao im down on my luck honestly probably 95% of the time. I was down bad when i was homeless for a month straight with my cat in a tent. You think anyone helped me then? No. You think anybody ever offers to help me ? NO, we are adults, we need to be accountable for ourselves. No one can help you but you. & i dont know if youve ever known a drug addict but absolutely no one but themselves can help them- if someone doesnt want to quit, they wont plain and simple. & all we do is encourage that. If they want help, show some initiatives first- stop using, start taking care of yourself, start applying for jobs, stop being so damn lazy & get the fuck up and do something instead of waisting every hard working citizens tax dollars on more drugs. Like i said in another post, ive seen first hand when ask wellness allows known dealers into the shelters to do what they do, sell drugs. Where do you think all the money that those homeless are given while there in a shelter ? I have personally know someone who on a good month has made 55,000$ selling drugs in these shelters. Do i support or encourage him doing that? Absolutely not. But facts are facts.
