People aren't going to make it this winter (a homeless man's perspective)

I have been seeing alot of news lately and I want to add my perspective.

I am homeless in ontario I stay out of homeless camps I don't drink or do drugs I am like this because of situations (a medical issue and a bitter divorce)

I have been reading about the destruction of camps.in Edmonton Alberta and they did things rote they remove a dangerous element while adding shelter space enough for everyone.

Unfortunately that's not the case evreware.

In ontario the shelter spaces are limited now theybare turning away over 300 people a day and the warning centers there's just not enough safe sleeping spaces are few and far behind.

Now if you are on the streets because of the mild winter we have had so far this year (ontario) and the hundreds if not thousands of newly homeless people like my self are underprepared.

Within the next 7 days we are going from a livable 3celus to a fridge -12 and from.wjat I have seen people are going to die.

There has already been several fires in the encamlments and what's worse is now people are burning propane in there tents to keep warm while covering the tops with tarps and that's just a recipe for disaster.

It'sot just rhe fire risk it's the carbon monoxide poisoning they're putting themselves at risk of.

What's worse when the temperature does drop I fear that most people.do not have enough supplies to keep warm such as clothing and blankets.

My self I am fortunate I managed to.scrape by and get my self an ice fishing shelter and salaged my self some blankets.

Even then I am terrified of the coming cold.

as of this moment it's been raining nonstop for a few days I was flooded out last night I am waiting for the coin laundry to open to dry what I do have.

And it's much more than just the elements because of the rising food costs food banks are stressed to the max.

If it wasint for the dollarstore I think a meal would be hard to come by for myself.

I am truly worried for people hell I am worried for myself.
