Letter writer offers perspective on homeless

Wondering out loud what Premier Christy Clark is thinking

Is homeless solution just duct tape?

I cannot help but wonder what Premier Christy Clark is thinking if her definition of finding homes for the Victoria courthouse tent city residents is opening a shelter until the end of April. What are they supposed to do after that?

Maybe she should try staying in a homeless shelter for one week or try living on welfare for one month. Next winter they will have the same homelessness issue to deal with again, because they wonB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t have done enough to solve the underlying causes, which are not always substance abuse or laziness.

Premier ClarkB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s half-baked solution to homelessness is not unlike Uncle RedB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s of the Red Green Show: fix everything with duct tape.

Our premier and her government literally fixed a problem with duct tape.
