…because tax dollars are wasted and off shored by governments
Good Tuesday Evening Beloved Sentients. Just a short post tonight because I want to turn in early. Tomorrow is my second knee replacement surgery and I have to be at the hospital by 8:30 a.m. I am a bit nervous but just going to power through the next 48 hours.
This post has been on the drawing board for a month or so…so some of the links might be a bit dated but it’s about a topic near and dear to my social worker heart…how most social ills are caused by a few maladjusted individuals and even these could be saved by appropriate and timely services. First, we have a really interesting report done right here in British Columbia:

Homeless encampment in Penticton, British Columbia
British Columbia is the national magnet for the chronically homeless in Canada because of our supposedly benign climate [Reality: the Climate in BC can become quite extreme and the homeless are at risk of being either frozen or baked!:
Penticton has almost 200 homeless people
- By Ron Seymour Okanagan Newspaper Group

Greencrow continues: Almost all the homeless have some degree of mental health issues. Here is the story of what can happen when mental illness is allowed to run rampant in the general population:
Unprovoked stranger attack leaves two Nova Scotia artists with serious injuries
Greencrow continues; Of course not all mentally ill people are homeless. The individual who killed 11 and maimed dozens more in Vancouver last summer by driving his car into a cultural street celebration was NOT homeless….but…he was in the supposed care of several mental health professionals.
Filipino BC calls for long-term funding for Lapu Lapu tragedy survivors and families
Greencrow says: Mental health workers have some of the most important jobs in our society–yet are woefully understaffed and underpaid. I know from experience as a social worker here in British Columbia that a call to the Mental Health Support Ministry is a waste of time. It is a Ministry with NO real services. It has been financially gutted for decades and generations…leaving generational mental health issues.
Greencrow concludes: Where is the money going that should be funding our social services including homelessness and mental health? Well Canada has sent BILLIONS to the Ukraine sinkhole laundromat for five years. It’s an absolute disgrace how we have hundreds of thousands of homeless in our frigid temperatures–meanwhile sending money into the losing Ukraine war abyss. It’s the definition of national insanity!

Ukraine has just generated another cash sink for western taxpayers
The office of the “Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine” has been created for Canada’s ex-deputy prime minister
“…Canadian cash for weapons, “for Ukraine,” is sure pumping up the integrated US/Canada military-industrial complex, which seems to be the go-to Western strategy for boosting their GDP these days amid their tanking economies….”
********
Finally, let us never forget the billions spent by all levels of government on the covid Plandemic Hoax that has taken place over the last five years and counting. All the money on useless/harmful masks, worthless PCR tests, toxic and lethal vaccines and medical malpractice in the form of “Hospital Protocols” could have been spent on the real social and medical issues in Canada–Homelessness and Mental Health issues.
I will leave readers with the following statistics related to the rising numbers of unclaimed bodies in Canada–a symptom of a multitude of socioeconomic and mental health ills. Pay particular attention to the sharp spike in numbers during and since the covid Scamdemic.

Folks, even our dead are homeless. It’s a disgrace and unworthy of one of the richest countries in the world. Canadians need to demand that our tax dollars are spent first here at home on the most vulnerable in our society. Stay tuned for more greencrow commentary in future posts on The Social Services Crisis in Canada.
Greencrow as the crow flies 
Good luck with the knee replacement and a smooth and rapid recovery.
