They should move all the filth to an abandoned mine in Northern Ontario.

JOHN Tory. Is the same ilk as Bob Rae ! Whatever party will keep him at the trough

I’m very surprised that residents of a woke city reacting like this.

At some point, residents should be prepared to withhold their payment of property taxes en masse as this is just one of a host of issues that the City of Toronto is handling poorly.

Why don't they ask what they can do to help rather than protesting? Yes there are problems but it takes a community to bring benefit to everyone.

These people are not all homeless by choice or drugs, crime or alcohol. They have the right to have a decent place to lay their head at night instead of the pavement or anywhere outside.

The article doesn’t say much so it’s hard to know whether they are overreacting or not. The term “homeless shelter” gets applied pretty loosely.
