I saw the news, where non-tax payers will be provided for by tax payers. Because of loose immigration policies and "many homeless asylum seekers", the provincial government has to "figure it out", likely by being taxed more. People who have nothing to contribute and are unwilling to go to free employment centers to become useful, are in need of shelter- why beg to come to a country where you need to rely on the tax payers, because you can't sustain yourself? Moreover, why is there the option to do this in Canada's border policies? May I suggest that asylum seekers should be screened financially, because coming to Canada for a better quality of life is not the same as fearing for one's life due to war or persecution: being in poverty is not an intersectional factor for somebody in persecution and the fact that all these seekers are poor, likely signals their biggest oppressor is poverty, not violence. It would save the tax payer a lot of money to have mandatory life skills, assimilation to Canadian society classes and provide certifications and work permits to these people so that they can work, and if within 1 year they do not find a job, they get extradited back. We do not need people who see Canada as a sugar daddy. Let them be homeless- STOP REWARDING ADDICTION AND DELINQUENCY AND UNADDRESSED MENTAL HEALTH. This is reinforcing societally poisonous behavior and our city is a dump. People are rewarded for being leeches who terrorize children on the streets and trains with material goods and money. If they used their welfare money for a rental instead of drugs, their housing problem would be gone. Give them rehabilitative services, certifications to work, make second career / better jobs more accessible (endless hoops!) And lock up the volatile and dangerous people who are terrorizing society. Do not de-incentivize contributing members of society by taxing them more to reward these leeches. Babying the addict leads to burying the addict. Endless generosity, mercy and grace is not kindness, it is reinforcing deadly and destructive patterns in our society.

I love Canada, and it is a shame our beautiful country resembles the very places people sought "asylum" from. Shanty towns and dangerous people roaming the streets. Problematic anti-societal behaviors should be disciplined, not rewarded. Do not fund the disheveling of our nation, do not become coerced into funding bad habits and bringing poorly vetted people into the country because of pitiful stories. Can you contribute to this country? If not, door is closed. I see petitions and moves to invite refugees from a difficult place here, because life is hard there- there is never a promise of being useful, reciprocity and making terrible immigration contracts by the millions every year leads to this: millions homeless, violence goes up, sexist and dysfunctional cultural practices which are antithetical to our values are practiced by people who have no respect for the land they felt entitled to because of their victimhood of being born overseas. No. This has gone too far.

How about close our borders, if we can't afford to be a campground for people who prefer to be homeless here instead of in their home country, where they likely were not persecuted at all, just not given all the perks of being a refugee claimant? Make a part of the "coming here contract " include a commitment to education and working within a year. We need "renters" in our home of Canada, not squatters. Vet better and teach life skills and bring back consequences for delinquency. Make it uncomfortable to break the law, destroy society and be volatile again. Make the streets safe for children and people again. Make transit safe. Change your policies dear government! Or else our Canada, the beautiful free West, will look more and more like the slums and degenerated places many of the claimants came from. The shanty towns we see in documentaries of war torn lands and slums of the most impoverished countries is literally what our cities look like. No, we will not destroy our own land to be "nice". Any kindness which results in displacement, homelessness, addiction, terror, crime, danger and a disheveled society is not a nice thing, it is a "nice" way to enable the demise of Canadian values, cities and our shared economy. Take a note from the States, whose dollar is worth twice as much as ours.

Thank you.
