The main cause of Homelessness is Government
Not just any old government. Oh no! Homelessness is caused by a specialist government. A government of Tax and spend, Tax and waste and even Tax and pilfer.

The Niagara Independent Says Homelessness is an urgent problem in Niagara.
A study conducted by the Region in March provided a snapshot of the dire situation. The third annual Niagara Counts homelessness Point-in-Time (PiT) determined there are at least 665 people (including 121 children under age 15) who are homeless across Niagara, living in shelters, makeshift campgrounds, on the streets, and couch-surfing with friends. The 2021 figure represents a 6.4 per increase from 2018, and a staggering 43 per cent increase from 2016.
As the Star’s Tess Kalinowski reported, a new study commissioned by the Toronto Region Board of Trade and WoodGreen Community Services shows that expensive housing squeezes out middle-class and low-income workers, costs billions in lost productivity and commuting, pressures employers to offer wage premiums to keep their workforce intact, and deters newcomers from moving her.
The analysis by Prism Economics estimates that unaffordable housing costs us between $6 billion and $8 billion a year in lost opportunities.
But not to worry The City of St. Cant is doing its part to increase of Homelessness by driving up the cost home ownership by adding development charges with their simple reasoning that other municipalities do it!
Even our bloated Niagara Regional Government under the Liberal leadership of the life-long Kathleen Wynne disciple is increasing property Tax at multiple levels of inflation.
We also have the brilliant Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau adding punitive Taxes on the back of Homeowners.
Whenever the subject of homelessness comes up all we get from our illustrious politicians is benign rhetoric and excuses usually geared towards blaming the homeless.
Taxpaying home owners are now simply a cash cow for long term Politicians who ineventably worry more about their fiefdom's bottom line instead of their electorate's financial wellbeing; the same voter who is guilty of leaving these misguided miscreants in power far too long!
News Flash for politicians: Not all of our homeless, poor Citizens and working poor are mental patients and substance abusers!
Our current crop of political leadership is proving one of the greatest political leaders of our time to be absolutely correct in his stated assertion that, "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem."
