Nothing says nationalism more than tearing down the whites who built this country. If it wasn't for us the gas huffers would still be sacrificing every 3rd child to the Buffalo

Winters here in Toronto are a bad thing, not just because of the cold, but because the homeless seek shelter inside the places you visit (e.g. shopping centres, subway stations) to protect themselves from the cold.

A few weeks ago, I was walking through a local centre i normally go down to access a connected shopping centre. In my 8 or so years of using this exact path, I haven't seen a single crazy person there. That was, until that time a few weeks ago, where I was forced to walk past a disturbed lanky person talking aggressively (to no one), who probably would've swung at me if I bumped into his shoulder or looked at him the wrong way. This was during a particularly cold afternoon.

Once I accessed the shopping centre, I saw several old homeless people on the public seats, with numerous full bags scattered around them.

Moreover, during the past year, the subway stations in my area have been in a state of decay I haven't experienced before. Mentally ill bums that I can smell from 15 metres away roam around, young delinquents intimidate people passing by, beggars with bad teeth sit near the PRESTO machine, addicts lay lifeless on stretchers, and so forth.

Considering that my area has remained fairly insulated from most of the homeless and drug-related mayhem, this is quite disappointing. It seems like these problems may entrench themselves everywhere, depending on whether Poilievre's future administration does anything or not.

At least your city hasn't busted a drug ring in their transit system after refusing to admit there was a drug problem for months and months

Hockey is in a really weird place both because of demographics, lack of investment in development of players or promotion of the game, and the type of engagement is really shallow even compared to other sports.

I just read this on X and it provides why there's annexation talk from Trump. The TL;DR version is that it's because Canada is a serious security liability because of Chinese influence and the government's lackadaisical response to it. America will not wait for us to clean up our mess and we have no one but ourselves to blame. Brace for impact, lads!

This is where I have a bleeding heart and feel bad for many of them.

Before people judge as this is the internet-

no, that does not mean that people should be allowed to shoot up heroin on the streets, throw poo at strangers (unless theyre Indian I guess), or be a public disturbance.

I do think we need the law enforced and public disturbance laws or public intoxication laws need to be enforced (why they aren't, is a big problem)- but we also have a separate thread for homeless hate.

A chunk of these people are dying deaths of despair, and under good circumstances probably shouldn't be homeless. My own family in Canada, everyone has financial issues and are a few bad paychecks away from the street, and living in debt.

I hate that this nation has come to this, fundamentally. That the homeless are getting this predominant

Except that China has largely withdrawn from Canada with many of Chinese Nationals that lived in Canada have now all packed up and moved back to China.

It's India that is the problem.

There was an angry smelly homeless man loitering at the entrance of the building where I went to vote on Thursday. He was shouting gibberish at everyone and spinning around, I had to duck out of the way and wait for a gap to open in the hallway so I could run past him.

It felt poetic cause my primary voting issue right now is housing. Thing is I don't really care where the hobos go, I just want them out of my sight and I don't want my money going towards 60,000 "supportive housing units" when I'm a hardworking, non-drug abusing, middle class person who can't afford a home. Most of my wealth over the last 15 or so years has been siphoned to greedy landlords and I'm really fucking over it.

The rich are stealing from me, while the hobos are literally standing in the way of my vote, and they're all making me hate my existence in society

It really is sad to see. The unfortunate part about what I laid out, is that I actually have more stories of encounters with the mentally ill and homeless around here, but left them out for the sake of brevity. My post would've been 3x longer if I included them.

Believe or not, I don't hate all homeless people. A third of the homeless that I've encountered are regular old men who don't cause trouble, and who slipped through the cracks one way or another. The issue is that this is becoming less and less the case; the well-adjusted homeless busker who plays joyfully on the station is being outnumbered by the addicts, criminals and mentally ill who managed to slip out of the institutions that were supposed to watch over them.

The problem with the homeless population nowadays has less to do with them being an eyesore, and more to do with them being a genuine threat to public safety.

The Chinese are still landlords who rent to Pajeets despite being on the other side of the planet

I met a white boomer who insisted on having a pajeet deal with their problem today because "they're harder working".

I watched a game the other night and every other commercial was a gambling ad. They also mention gambling throughout the game itself too. Is the only way the average Canadian can get rich here is to become a successful version of BossManJack? During the first intermission they had a 5 minute (at least) segment about this family who's kid had cancer. Everyone tearing up and crying. Now I'm not a heartless bastard, but I really miss when they would just talk about hockey. I don't put that shit on to have a good cry session. It reminds me of those sad kid from Africa commercials that would jerk at your heartstrings to get you to sponsor them.

The segment after the cancer one? It was about black athletes inspiring black Canadians to excel or some shit.

It's a good thing that Don Cherry was kicked off HNIC when he was. Don't want to tarnish his legacy with Kike scummy gambling ads

 

[National Tragedy]

Rate me optimistic, but I think we might be passed peak Jeet, the last 3 ubers I took were white and several other friends have noticed the same thing. It's still way too many but I actually think we are past the peak.

 

[Butterschmalz]

But outside of their borders, which politician is MAGA?

Thats a good one. Here is another one: All Canadian parties are riding on Canada First at the moment. Thats the third Liberal I can think of (Chrystia Freeland), after Trudeau and Carney, that went on a American TV show to promote the Liberals. Pretty America First I would say. I mean I get boomers are their target audience, but aren't we supposed to swim in Russian, Chinese and Indian propaganda?

I've thought about the gambling ads, and I think promoting gambling is more effective for hockey than other sports simply because there's far less understanding of expected value to the point where there's almost a disdain for it. Basically, the only way to "beat" sports books is to use a program to find the odds yourself and bet on mistakes by the sports book (which will get you banned).

In hockey, people are always surprised when a player who puts up monster or even record setting numbers but ends up falling to the 2nd round turns out to be good and there's almost this disdain for the idea of "we should pick the next prospect who falls despite breaking records".

Poilievre isn't going to do shit to clean up Toronto, besides being a little less hug-a-thug than Trudeau's corrupt judges and prosecutors.

PP loves mass immigration.

His solution to housing is to sell off federal surplus assets to developers and grease the wheels of scumbags profiting off building new McMansions.

Doug Ford will have been the Premier for a decade soon and he isn't doing shit either about crime, homelessness, CoL, the decay, etc (except closing a few injection sites)

Toronto also voted for this. They ridded themselves of CINO John Tory and decided they'd replace him after they experienced Jagmeet Singh's modern NDP that they'd like to sign up from some Olivia Chow.
