Patrick Couperthwait was hunkered down inside a makeshift shelter made of tarps, plywood and metal scraps, waiting for outreach workers to come back.
It was freezing cold this early December day, with temperatures dipping below -10 C the night before. His bare fingers were red and cracked, but Couperthwait couldn’t risk leaving to warm up indoors. He needed to stay here — on a roadside patch of grass near Riverdale Park where he’s camped for two years — because outreach workers told him yesterday there might be housing for him. As midday hit, Couperthwait was getting nervous.
The Islamo-Chow Regime does not want to solve the “Homeless crisis” as it raises money funneled to their socialist scams.
“Housing first” is a failed policy that assumes a hard core drug addict or the mentally ill will be able to maintain a residence.
Life doesn’t work that way. I am curious to see if Saskatchewan’s mandatory treatment policy is a success.
