Le logement, toujours un problème

Another paper I did on homelessness:

Reality is perceptual:The Social Construction of Homelessness in Canada

K, so everyone knows when the olympics are coming the mistreatment of the poor gets multiplied by infinity. BC is looking at creating housing, but not for the poor. The concept is kinda cool so i thought i would share it, and i will try not to rant about the housing crisis across the nation.

Heres what the Minister said in response to a letter sent to the PM in Jan.

" Dear Ms____

Im pleased to respond to your electronic message of jan 25, 2007, which the Office of the PM, Stephan harper, forwarded to me, concerning homelessness in Canada. Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying.

I would first like to thank you for directing us to www.homelessnation.org Web site. Departmental officials and I are always happy to discover new homelessness_related resources.
