Kudos to the trash man out there trying to earn money in freezing cold. He's a real man.
The news never highlight your average Joe getting up and going to work and paying their bills and being accountable for their life.
I hope that lawmakers and public policy specialists and economists and other social scientists will work together to solve the homelessness crisis that is unfortunately getting worse in Canada and the US! Drugs and mental health issues are a significant part of this crisis. Failure to address this crisis means that there will be a decline in the overall quality of life for society as a whole. We are already seeing this happen in cities like Seattle, San Francisco and LA. We are already nearing 25 years into the 21st century and we must not re-create the same unsanitary conditions that allowed diseases that afflicted so many during the 19th and early 20th century, to haunt society again. Diseases like small pox, cholera, dysentery, yellow fever, tuberculosis, polio, typhoid fever, malaria,... can return if more and more people live in unsanitary conditions.
The Google story on immigration and refugee costs in Canada prove why this happens as do the poor employment practices lack of rent caps and Government ignorance. Make it an emergency and see how fast they turn tail. Canadians first and vote for change!

To be put this in perspective, even with arctic expedition gear, -50 is still a challenge for people to remain outdoors
You may want to look up winter camping.... people do this stuff for fun, so there are ways ;-)
@@2bRealist oh I know, I go winter camping myself.
@@Ricky-jm6lk Nice!.. I have not gone out in a while, but I have the itch to do so lol
I didn't get to go out last year because of work (covid frontline worker)
I haven't been able to go out this year for the same reason.
I may just set up my gear on the front yard, I have a couple of tall pine trees just far enough from each other to set up a ridgeline! Though my wife thanks I'm crazy, and has a concern about rules regarding having a campfire in the city lol
My brother thanks we should glamp it this year by using a hot-tent, but I feel that is cheating O_o
@@2bRealist Yes people go winter camping for fun , people who have warm homes and who have the money and ability to get the proper gear , supplies , knowledge etc . That is very different than being homeless with mental health issues , medical issues , drug/alcohol issues etc at -50 during a pandemic to boot.
@@shari9721 even if you find a solution most homeless people don’t want to listen to conmen sense. What can one due against alcohol and drug addiction.?
Another example of Canada's poor human rights record
I guess just like the rest of the world.
What human right? Free dope and home to destroy?
This is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Let’s look after our own in 2022. Seniors, homeless and the working poor.
100 percent👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦CANADIAN BORN FIRST CLOSE IMMIGRATION PLEASE ASAP
@@ELizabeth_Beeza It's not immigration, it's putting profits above the well being of working people. Housing supply is artificially low in order to increase prices.
@@person-yu8cu
Thanks to city government restrictions.
@@shauncameron8390 restrictions created to serve the capitalists
The amount of homeless seniors is deplorable. Media always insists on making our homeless out to be all a bunch of drug addicts. You never hear them tell the story of my friend, for instance, who worked hard all her life, paid her taxes, was a great home care worker who when she turned 65 was let go of her job by the Filipino agency that runs the home care. Turfed, jobless and homeless, she had a stroke, had to live in her truck afterward and was homeless for SEVEN YEARS. She never drank, never did drugs, was discriminated against by Filipinos, and needed home care herself but was "Not Qualified" as she had NO HOME. She finally died homeless after her second stroke. And the media would rush to paint her as a drug addict they are so sick and like being bad at investigating homelessness.
Trailer parks. Trailers mass produced. Lots of crown land
2:40 I need a bath
Vancouver's new Chinese mayor, even though the feds give him $5 billion to solve housing, he plans to revamp Chinatown, a major Fentanyl hub just down the street from its victims who are homeless. Ken Sim sure does know how to look after HIS people.
They should be shifted in school or college building to avoid freezing. Lack of not for profit organizations’s presence in increasing homelessness
Canada please weak up...protect your citizens no matter what and when...When you ask them to join the war they do....when they ask for help at home ..you ignore them. It's a national crime and a shame for rich Country Canada...The USA too...
Sharing, Justice and Peace for All.
Open up the churches to the ppl who are on the street freezing
Hello 🤩
Our current society means well, but in fact they're just making it worse. Just listen to some of the frontline workers and they will tell you the truth.
Quite simply money will not solve all problems!
This is among the saddest I have ever seen for the homeless
Also dehydration you need to drink twice as much fluid in cold weather
If this were happening somewhere else in the world. Canada would send help.
I just prayed for the people on the streets of Abbots Canada 🇨🇦 and elsewhere in Canada 🇨🇦 Amen 🙏🏻
Self inflicted,no mercy.
Wow! You prayed? That should get all those homeless people a home!😂
@@evelinholmes6401Read the comment below. They aren't all druggies . get a clue.
did she say "i need a bath" at the end?
I think she said Anita Bath as is her name lol
😆 that's what I heard too. My goodness who gave her that name LOL
@@ramseydarkstar Perhaps her parents and husband?
Maybe she really does need a bath? Lol
Wait.. Anita bath?!? I need a bath? This is the oldest one in the book.. also, yes I live in Cloverdale and couldn't walk my dog 25m to the end of the street before his paws froze and he laid down. Walk ten feet into any patch of greenbelt/forest and there is a camp here. Cloverdale is not near any rapid transit system like SkyTrain, where normally homeless would be. Warming stations are a good idea for extreme weather
If it wasn’t about the homeless I’m sure they would of come up with another name
LMao Anita bath!! Ur too funny, man!.....oh, and jeez, what a sad story...run to the Mexican border....way warmer there.
Ok you heard it too.
Kinda mean of them to make that kinda joke..
Keeping dry, staying warm and buying cheap food arnt that difficult..but considering I work 5 days a week, for the sake of the customers, god damn I need a bath 🤣
There are warning stations and places to get food but that's an all day endeavor..one way to keep warm but depressing if you're try to schedule a job around it.
Please open the stadiums
If you go to a library and use there centers they have help options it's if they choose to use them also in Washington DC they close centers early for homeless when it is this cold no shelter just the gyms whatever helps we should do the same
You're so out of touch with reality.
THERE'S NOWHERE TO HOUSE THEM.
I just bought my 6th house and I price bums like this out.
People don't want to live in apartment buildings filled with bedbugs and cockroaches...
Shocking right? So ungrateful.
Do you know what else is dangerous? Doing drugs and drinking everyday
I prayed for them so they will be fine
Praying is appreciated but words alone are not enough. Go out there volunteering, or donate something if you could.
Greed is what runs this world
Profits run Canada
The reporter name is Anita bath. Their parents must be jokers
Humour is always needed, it is a gift that will keep giving.
Praying is not enough
Its ok... Govt officials are on extended holidays somewhere warm.. they'll bring some heat for these guys...
What about warming centers or better tents and sleeping bags? There is city money so spend it on the most vulnerable. That 🥶 is deadly.
Canadian housing to the moon😄😄😄😄🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
"Being cold" on your country's news. What's wrong with Canada? I know it's BC but still..
Problem.
Shelters let in psychopaths. Many homeless do not want to sleep next to psychopaths.
Homeless should move to cali
2:33 Advocates say "it would be a miracle if everyone comes out of this extreme weather, alive". I need a bath. CBC news. Abbotsford. two of the least things that will....... you know what. I'm just going to stop myself right there.
Her name is either Anita or Ineda but I heard I need a bath too and can't get the irony out of my head now.
-15? LOL try coming to the prairies
On a lighter note. Anita bath. Pretty funny name
All you need to say is wind chilled 🥶
I wonder how many empty homes in Richmond could solve this issue
Not how property rights work, make more homes instead.
@@johncam8420 Not how property rights work, true... but perhaps alleviating their massive speculation tax with deals to provide low income housing could work. It probably wouldn't, but it's worth a try.
Are you proposing to move the houses to another neighborhood?
Maybe if you didn't force businesses to close, putting them in bankruptcy. You wouldn't have a homeless problem
5 years clean and sober drug use is not a mental disorder is not a disease its a life choice its addicting and you make the choice to let it control your life you are not born a addict .
I'm sure everyone needs a bath
Find shelter
I pray for you all ?! I'm gonna be right there with you. God bless I pray your all ok
Keep helping them be homeless and they will remain homeless.
I’m not sure using a news anchor with the name “Anita bath” whilst doing a story on homeless is fitting hahaha.
My Lord....to sad to watch. What is wrong with the whole wide world??????
Leave the world out of this. This is a Made In Canada problem.
Hello 🤩
😢😢
I saw a guy sitting in a doorway downtown who seemed out of it and was shaking violently. I called a homeless shelter and they told me what to do. She said to not hesitate to call them for advice ... good to know.
Did they help him???✝️🙏🕯🕯🕯
Hello 🤩 how are you doing
@@ELizabeth_Beeza hello
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Competition is always rough....
They need JOBS !!!
Help them pastor and homeless advocates.
It's been-40 c all week here in Manitoba...🥶
It's the same here in Northern BC...soooo cold..... our homeless folks are dying... but we are All represented in BC by Vancouver unfortunately.
So try to keep warm in a house with the price of oil at $600 per month on fix income at$965 per month,then power bill $215 eat $150.not much left
Did she say “ I need a bath, Abbotsford “
I hate to say this but I used to work Frontline in the downtown Eastside of Vancouver, do you know how many thousands of those homeless people went to BC in the first place for the nice weather and the welfare check. Guess it's not working out so good for them now
Hello caro
Pakistan bhot acha hai bhai selani weafare bhot khayal karta hai logo ka
Has the number of homeless people increased since 10-15 years ago? "Is the government teaching how to help the homeless?"
🙏🏼
why can't yall just let darwin take the wheel
Hot tenting. Its fun!!
Government should be put in jail
Help them!!!!
You go help them
😆😆 anita bath, (I need a bath)
Sad very Sad,, it's about time the governments around the world should be fighting this,, and not wars , save that Money to help people at home ,,
What can we do to help I'm in the UK
The basterd gov ment of canada are criminals
Why cant we as a society take care of eachother. We have to work to pay this system which is run by crazies. We focus on cosumerism. Why cant we have a building or 2 to help these people have a warm place to stay??
Don’t matter if they are on the street as long as they don’t have Covid 🤣🤣🤣
ward... do your jacket up buddy.
May God bless them all may He give them strength and courage Amen🙏🏽🤲🏽❤️🩹☝🏽✝️
They had not planed fot that in April when they told their landlords to go to hell...
Fair capitalism
Scenes of How good capitalism is
Homelessness is a choice folks
ABSOLUTELY in 99% of them their own choice!!!
😢😭
JT is counting on winter as his WMD to "solve" the homeless issue he caused.
Selfish aggressive people who refuse to go into shelters because they can't do drugs.
I'm tired of people committing crime and then demanding help without compromise
100,000,00.00 for the homeless.
Give a chronically homeless man an apartment and he will destroy it somehow.
Hello
Happy Canada Day......not for allot of Canadians
Governments would never advocate for simple cheap housing as it would ruin the current Housing markets which are propped up by large investment firms and foreign influence. People will continue to suffer unless real changes are enacted by the government thats supposed to care for its people.
Play that your government!
Take what you need!
Your property values demand Human Sacrifice.
Lol i know how it to find places to in illnois it was so hard then anything open or they dont take the housing voulter then or they can take part of it then have pay out of pocket or they arent taking the housing voulters and i could find one only places that was open for housing voulters. Its hard enough too to find a place to live, with low income for me and my girlfriend soon to be wife. and we after moved 4 times this year about to move again once they have opening and just be calm
I swear she said at the end " Anita Bath, something news, Abbotsford".
That's either funny or mean
( considering the content)
Wtf? ? ??
If I have my house then I will help these people if my nabours do not mind ,,, at least give them good tent in these days !
Trust me..you wouldn't want most of these people inside your home
Anida Bath? Fun name for news presenter
Flamethrowers would heat them up
Just crazy wear a mask for your safety but not be given a home. Safeplace just crazy
Why should anyone just be GIVEN a home. The VAST MAJORITY of people have to get of their backsides and actually work fir a living!!!????
Stuck in the open!? I wudd get a big metal tub or pot boil water pour it into a big plastic tub, easy way retain heat, if get a metal barrel just boil gallons of water it will stay warm long enough to sleep
Coldest country in the world 🌎
Shameful Canada leaving people that way
A lot of it is self-inflicted with drug and alcohol problems. No matter how many times you try to help them,many fall back to the same trap.
They will only use a house for drugs. They’re beyond help.
If they came illeagally from a prison they wouldbt have to worry about it they woukd be in hotel with debit card
Isn’t housing a right according to Human Rights. Now is the time for UBI or there will be many more living in the streets
LOL. Housing is a privilege.
Who named that poor reporter Ms INeedaBath lol I’m sorry but come on lol
Walmart stock boys own their homes now.
Yes we need homes money in our banks and drugs. Now
I have learning disability that affects my brain process
I'm also borderline homeless
I don't understand why in generations past, people could look after themselves, had pride in what the did. Why does everyone now expect handouts and free everything? I don't mean to sound uncaring but what is the difference in the generations?
That was never true. There were always people who fell through the cracks, who society failed to care for. As for the supposed difference in generations, WWII veterans came back home to a complete lack of care for their PTSD and injuries - it's part of the reason why the Legions were founded. They protested for better government care. People have always needed care greater than that they can give themselves. We just aren't taught about the poor and homeless of recent history in our schools.
