Winnipeg puts up barriers in a few places to keep out campers.
Illegal aliens being more important to progressives than citizens. Seems to be a trend.
Quote from: "Wazzzup"
But, the article never made any mention of illegal aliens. And barriers to prevent squatters are not uncommon.

I think that was dinky's statement,, not the article's, that they are a sanctuary city (which they are, I just confirmed). It is reasonable to control the homeless, but i think she was pointing out the hypocrisy of being a sanctuary city who lets in illegals but fences out homeless Americans.

Yes, it's hypocritical for a sanctuary city to do that. There is pressure on our mayor to declare Winnipeg a sanctuary city, but he has resisted. I don't see why it matters though when Trudeau won't honour the Safe Third Country agreement and send asylum seekers back across the border.
Canada is a sanctuary nation...why declare a sanctuary city.
Trudeau pays terrorists 10M to stay there.

Exactly.
Way more homeless in Settle than I thought. I mean I saw some, but didnt know it was so many. Why do they not have homeless shelters? Or spend the money on opening some shelters instead of spending it on trying to evict them from places that shelter them from the constant rain.

I've heard Seattle had more homeless people than most cities..
I'll guess a lot of them are employed too.

Thats sad. I think NY has the most.
The ones I met while there were not employed, but the one I talked with seemed rather smart. He seemed to like his lifestyle.

We had a similar situation in Calgary about eleven years ago when oil and gas development was booming..
A lack of pipelines, excessive regulations, a carbon tax and rising income and corporate taxes killed the boom..
The government did that to help homeless people.
:laugh:

The city of Victoria on Vancouver island has a lot of young, able bodied beggars..
I don't know if they are homeless or not, but they seem happy in their
Tourist cities like Victoria attract panhandling.
Many if not most have a severe mental illness and end up on the street. Some even figure they want that.
Most have failed to be the norm of society for reasons of mental illness and some because they are simply are not cut out for work and for supporting themselves

That is true in my city and I see it when I volunteer for the Salvation Army..
But, when I was in Victoria I met some beggars and again I don't know if they were homeless who seemed not to be mentally ill and were doing it by choice.
Do y'all have homeless shelters there?
Illegal drugs plays a major role for some.
Or a combination of some or all the above (drugs, severe mental illness, inability to work, unwillingness to work)

How come they dont go to a shelter? Or maybe its like CC said, they dont go, because of drugs or alcohol. Shelters here dont allow that either if you're under that influence.

If they are sober, they do go to shelters, but they have to be out by seven am I believe..
They hang out on the streets all day and return to the shelters at night..
They can get meals at a number of open kitchens, but since most are Christian ministries I don't think they will be eligible to hire students this coming summer because they have different values than Justin Trudeau.

Strange, no wonder they hang out under bridges cause of the rain. They dont feed them at the shelter? The shelter here feeds them and helps them out in many ways, but they have to sit through church service there to get fed.

Everyday? You are kidding.

If you mean church service, yeah, one hour. They have to to get fed. They do a lot for them though. Like if they do work, they give them a bus pass. If they want, they can have the shelter hold on to a percentage of their income, and when they move to their own place they help with free furniture and stuff from Goodwill, and give them their money back to go towards rent and such.

I don't object to any of this, except for sitting through an hour a day of Christian brainwashing. But, nothing worth attaining is free nor should it be.

I guess they think they will save some souls by doing so. Though there are other ways to achieve that as well.

Meh, a small price to pay. We pay over a billion dollars a year to the CBC for the privilege of getting Justin Trudeau's news network and knock Donald Trump.

It helps try to sell the poison Trudeau is forcing on us as ice cold lemonade on a hot day.
I'll read their news, but that's it. Whenever CBC interviews an "expert" it's always one that supports the network's biased agenda.

Previous Conservative governments have talked about privatizing the CBC, but they chickened out.
Rules Trump can withhold funds over illegal immigrants
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump's administration can withhold millions of dollars in law enforcement funds from states and cities that refuse to co-operate with federal immigration authorities, a U. S. appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan was a victory for Trump in his years-long fight with so-called sanctuary jurisdictions.
It's also a defeat for New York City and the states of New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Virginia and Washington, which sued over administration policies depriving them of needed funds.
Three other federal appeals courts have upheld injunctions barring enforcement of at least some conditions placed by the administration on funding for state and local law enforcement.
Wednesday's decision reversed a lower court ruling and set up a possible appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which often resolves legal disputes that divide lower courts.
In 2017, Trump's administration conditioned receipt of funds known as Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants on state and local government's willingness to provide federal immigration authorities with access to their jails as well as advance notice of immigrants' release from custody.
The policy affected nearly $ 26 million US of annual grants to the seven states and $4 million to New York City.

Saint Trump
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would withhold money from so-called sanctuary jurisdictions after a U.S. court ruled that his administration could block federal law enforcement funds to states and cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
The Republican president, who is seeking re-election in the Nov. 3 election, has taken a hardline stance toward legal and illegal immigration. His battle against Democraticled "sanctuary" jurisdictions focuses on laws and policies that limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.
Cities and states that oppose such cooperation say it can discourage immigrants from coming forward to report crimes to law enforcement because of fears about their immigration status. Since the beginning of his administration Trump has tried to slash specific law enforcement grants to places that don't comply with ICE requests for information, but his efforts have been challenged in court.
The progtard governor of Colorado has criminal illegal aliens than the safety of his citizens as his priority.
Colorado Governor Doubles Down On Sanctuary Policy
https://dailycaller.com/2020/05/23/polis-illegal-alien-data-sharing-ice/?utm_source=piano&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2360&pnespid=l.JyqONUWR2NQMPrUF2lkdiPKtppMeNMmu64ihf9
Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has restricted what personal information his state agencies will provide to federal immigration authorities, the latest measure he's taken to protect Colorado's illegal alien population.
Polis quietly issued new policy guidance on Wednesday, directing state agencies not to provide Coloradans's personal data to federal entities that intend to use the information for the sole purpose of immigration enforcement, according to the Colorado Sun. The new directive ultimately prevents Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from obtaining such data unless they are investigating a crime or carrying a court order.
Per the four-page executive guidance, information such as social security or tax identification numbers, birthdays, driver's licenses, names and addresses cannot be released to federal authorities if "solely related to federal immigration enforcement."
While the new policy was handed down on Wednesday, local media was not made aware until Friday. The reason being, according to Polis's office, is because the directive was not an executive order, but simply an internal order, and thus was not announced in a public notification.
Conor Cahill, a spokesman for the governor, told the Colorado Sun that the policy was "internal guidance provided to our agencies ... and not an executive order." A spokesperson for ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The new guidance marks the latest move by Polis, a progressive Democrat, to restrict ICE's ability to enforce federal immigration law in the state of Colorado.
In May 2019, the governor signed a bill into law that prohibits state law enforcement from arresting a suspected illegal alien solely based on an ICE request. The law also bars law enforcement from providing a suspected illegal alien's personal information to the agency, and requires state police to read illegal aliens their Miranda rights when conducting an ICE interview.
At the time, ICE told the DCNF that the new law was "disappointing" and said it violated Colorado's "primary mission of protecting the public."
"By signing Colorado's House Bill 1124, the state has codified a dangerous policy that deliberately obstructs our country's lawful immigration system, protects serious criminal alien offenders, and undermines public safety," ICE spokeswoman Alethea Smock said in May 2019.
Local jurisdictions in Colorado have released illegal aliens charged with crimes back into the public, citing the state's law against cooperation with ICE. The Boulder County government, for example, released an illegal alien after he was arrested in January for multiple counts of sexual assault. Boulder ignored a plea from ICE to transfer him into their custody, pointing to the state law as the reason for doing so.
