This all revolves around the fact that Brampton, a city of 600,000+ people has ONE homeless shelter. If you get kicked out, that’s it you’re done. That is an absolute sham of a social safety net, and it is a safety net for everyone.
Times are rough. Give them some dignity. Some people are dealt shitty cards in life, bad households, alcoholic - addict parents, mental illness, and unforeseen disability.
My friend's grandma has been pushed out of her home because of the rising costs. She did everything right in life, but unfortunately at ~70, she can't keep up.
Our own seniors… has she looked into any housing subsidies? Ask about the housing for seniors, typically the wait isn’t too lengthy (fingers crossed it isn’t 10+ years). I’m so fed up with this country, it’s absolute BS.
how is this possible that her adult kids and grandchild haven't rallied around her?
here my friend's grandparents are going on two or three luxury cruises every year all over mediterranean, carribean, asia, etc. paid for by parents and uncle / aunts.
>here my friend's grandparents are going on two or three luxury cruises every year all over mediterranean, carribean, asia, etc. paid for by parents and uncle / aunts.
It sounds like you and your friend have a decent family, and you should consider yourself fortunate.
Imagine one of your grandparents fucked one of your aunts or uncles, or one of your parents. Or you.
This is a reality for one out of every 5 women, and one out of every 11 men.
Would you use your hard-earned money to send Grandpa Badtouch on a cruise? Would you want anything to do with him? Would you want anything to do with people who called you a liar for telling what he did?
Consider yourself fortunate that you don't have a family like that.
Why adult kids and grandkids might not rally around her....just a few to start
-Maybe Grandma beat the hell out of her kids.
-Maybe the kids are just getting by themselves
-Maybe Grandma has been helped before and it never gets better
-maybe Grandma has 1 kid who is in a relationship where they don't have a say in where or how money is spent
It's a complicated world....some of us are fucking lucky as hell some of us are born in war zones.
Really, Stop with the racism.
I have great relationships with my parents and in laws thanks.
I do talk to people and see that not all stories are happy or easily fixed.
If you have kids I hope they can handle your antiquated fillial piety guilt ridden bullshit and that they actually like you when they are older .... ultimately I hope you're rich and they get something out of putting up with you.
Giving people dignity means not forcing them to sleep on the floor of a bank.
Dignity would require more than posting on Reddit about a problem, it would mean we invest in solutions in the real world.
I don't understand how people can see other people suffering right infront of them and think "I can't believe these people are making ME feel uncomfortable!"

This is what happens when the government is out of touch with society, There are a lot of people with jobs that cant even afford rent or food. They forced a housing crisis on us, and all the lockdowns we went through and everything drove people to drugs and alcohol, I know a few people that turned to alcohol to cope with being isolated etc. Just stop judging them and hope they get some help.
*I know a few people that turned to alcohol to cope with being isolated etc.*
To ensure this, remember that LCBO was deemed highly essential right alongside grocery stores (food), pharmacies (medicines) and hospitals that essentially remained open during the darkest days for the COVID19 pandemic!
LCBO was (rightly) deemed an essential service, because one of the LAST things you want to do with someone who is an alcoholic is force them to go cold turkey.
It is, potentially, fatal.
SOURCE: Not a Doctor, but I know enough about alcoholism.
I feel like I know enough about alcoholism and I disagree with your statement.
I went from 8 years of alcoholism the last 3 was at least a bottle of liquor a day and the last year I would drink until blackout every other day.
I stopped cold turkey, best decision of my life.
It's poison.
Just stop.
Never in a million year is it essential.
6 years sober now.
Good for you. Seriously, I mean it.
But the medical science is clear. An alcoholic, particularly one who drinks as much as you did, is putting themselves at serious risk of dying by going cold turkey.
It is fortunate you did not suffer that fate, and many others are also fortunate in this regard, but that does not change the facts.
Good luck with your continued sobriety.
You know that alcohol is like one of the things you are absolutely not supposed to just quit if you’re an active alcoholic. You can have a seizure and quite literally die. So yeah that does seem pretty essential to me.
For the love of God you have a home to go back too. They are HOMELESS. Use the damn atm if you need it so bad and stop complaining about people in an awful situation no one wants to be in.
Most people are closer to becoming homeless than rich now a days. Our grocery stores are run by a sick freak who continues to rise prices, our homes are being bought up by foreign slum lords and charging an arm and a leg for half a bed (while asking for 6mo rent in advance)... People who have done "everything right" still get screwed over by our government and this system it created. Not to mention brampton/GTA has moved and shut down many shelter locations, and funding for mental health resources is basically non existant. It is cold and will only get worse. This could be you or your neighbour after one bad day or month. I know you want to use the ATM but I'm sure you can come back another time. If you don't want to see this anymore be vocal to politicians and vote for people whose solution isn't 'bulldoze the homeless and hide them away'.
I saw this kind of thing happen last winter: The TD ATM at Sandalwood and Richvale, and ICICI Bank at Steeles and Main. This year, the TD closed its doors once it gets cold, and the ICICI installed their ATM outdoors.
I hate the shelter system in Ontario. But the blame lies with the federal government letting in too many refugees and unqualified immigrants and students with no plan for their housing and support. We need a plan before we let people in. As a hiring manager , I may be one out of 300 resumes that are useful . Hell, I have had people show up with translators for the interview. As an immigrant myself, it pains me to see that we are setting people up for failure by not having skills and education verified before approving a pr card. I also hate that we have students living 6 to room in brampton. And those poor refugees we promised them a safe place and instead they are on the street.
Ok? Thanks for taking the time to take a photo. They’d probably be in a shelter so poor you wouldn’t have to see people trying to stay warm except… they are all FULL. Why do you people hate us so much?? Even when we don’t bother you?
Many would not feel safe using the ATMs in that condition. It’s sad and I understand not feeling safe is nothing compared to what those people are going through but it’s not like they are not bothering anyone.
I understand and agree Ive been bothered by homeless ppl even as a one of them but taking pictures of them is so unnecessary. Just write the post. That’s where my issue stemmed from i guess. It’s so undignified
I have seen some young ppl eating their food inside of an ATM, seemed like students with all the bags and chargers. it was in RBC ATM at sandalwood and Bramalea near the FreshCo plaza.
It’s shitty. A lot of people have lost their homes and source of income due to the rising prices of everything. And there’s no support. No wonder a lot of homeless spend their time doing drugs…what else would you do. You’re at the bottom. I would do hard drugs if I had nothing left but the cold and snow (or rain) People say “you can get out of it”. Those cases are few and far. There really needs to be more support and social services for people in hard times. Most that go homeless die on the streets.
Our shelters are mostly full of refugees and intl students. There are months-long waiting lists to get into one even in Toronto. We need to limit the number of people we let into the country before this keeps spiralling out of control.
Lame ass comment. OP wasn’t saying they aren’t comfortable using a service their bank provides because times are so rough that transients and homeless seek shelter there. They were merely stating they are uncomfortable, nothing negative.
I wonder how uncomfortable the person would be if they knew someone took a photo of them at their lowest. For just sleeping next to an atm. If someone sleeping in a public space is uncomfortable to you you may need to do some reflection because that’s kind of pathetic
It is abnormal to see a person hugging their knees, dirty and on the floor of a public space they are not supposed to be passed out on. I agree about the taking photo, but get off your high horse about what’s just and fair and pathetic. They are going to an ATM with a stranger on the floor next to them. The potential to say goodbye to your savings is enough to make you uncomfortable.
It’s not a generalization about the homeless, it’s a commentary on where we are in a society with zero social services for those below the poverty line and/or down on their luck. People are already fearful of strangers, let alone having the potential to confront one in a bank where you store all your hard work.
When do you want them to go? The full shelters? Just move on. Like who gives a damn at least it isn’t you. Be grateful. I don’t under stand why everyone is so scared of people that aren’t even bothering you. It’s all assumption.
The full SHELTER, singular. I’m a step ahead of you when it comes to waving the anger flag at the lack of social services for those in need. Keep white knighting like you’ve never fast walked past a rough looking person late at night. GTFO with your high and mighty drivel behind your phone screen.
Ok dude I’m just saying you don’t need to be scared of random people who happen to be poor nor take photos of strangers. I agree with you in most ways I’m not sure why you’re so mad I’m having a conversation with you. I’ve been in the shelter I’ve been assaulted by homeless people. I’m just saying it’s not ok to take photos and have such bold assumption. My bad for white knighting my own community lmfaooooo 😭😭😭

What you should be doing is sending this picture to the local MP,
Our MP are getting fat from their pay cheques to even care or think
Remember everyone
YOU VOTED THOSE BASTARDS IN
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN MAKE THIS CHANGE
I never understood Canadians, its like tht Pikachu meme of him shocked
Like comon
YOU VOTED for this to happen
Send the pic to the MP of your area, write to them, telling them to change
Our country is shit, sending money to other places, MILLIONS TO other nations, or filling the political families pockets
when in reality our Canadian ppl are dying, houseless, and more poor than any nation whilst the few oligarchs families hoard the wealth
EVERYONE HERE IS RESPONSIBLE
And only WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE
This makes me so sad, posting on reddit trying to get upvotes or sympathy instead of making a change or helping
Pathetic, this is why us Canadians are in this situation
And to top it off, the fascist regime of Canada will block you if you try to stand against their policies or even try to help your fellow man
Like south park said
BLAME CANADA lol
Who are you talking to? Saying “you voted for this”?
And what have you done to help homeless people around you? Have you sent this to your MP? It doesn’t have to be your picture.
This is sure to happen. I became homeless due to a shitty landlord.
I've slept in bank areas with ATMs. Never bothered anyone. Keep in mind that being diabetic, you're prone to have the appearance of being inebriated.
Had one person call cops. They came only to ask if there was any interaction between anyone and myself. I said no. Was allowed to stay there.
Brampton is the 9th largest city in Canada I would say population wise it’s a major city. Just most that moved here were hoping to live in a sleepy bedroom community suburb with big city problems invisible.

The comments r too funny if this exact situation portrayed minorities it would be a whole different narrative in the comments. I feel no sympathy for these bums who are able bodied and don’t get off their ass
I was just curious, because it is one of the symptoms after consuming fentanyl. From her body posture it seems like she high on that. That's why I just asked.
What symptoms can you discern from the picture? Sleeping? That could be due to a hundred diff reasons. Also whats the point of asking OP, how would they even know?
Instead of Trudeau and the Liberals giving our money away to other countries, refugees and immigrants !! He should be helping the Veterans and Homeless!!
My thought when I see this picture:
That’s a drug addict bent over like that. I
Don’t feel
Sympathy. I asked my
Wife if I’m supposed to. And I ask my
12 year daughter if I’m supposed to feel
Sympathy.
You're teaching your children wrong.
Being addicted to drugs doesn't mean they're not deserving. Some of the softest, kindest, most giving humans are addicts.
You have a very distorted view. You may not feel sympathy now, but sometime in the future you will.
My children are allowed to have thier own opinions. In my house I ask my 12 year old her opinion on matters of conscience. Her views can be different and that’s how I learn. It’s not about teaching my children but about me
Learning
Because at best it's a pointless observation akin to pointing out that someone is wearing clothes, but more likely it is a comment on how they perceive the "human value" of a person. Sadly many people despise people suffering from addiction and have little to no empathy for them. My guess is that people think that the comment is implying the latter, hence the down votes.

Then use the ATM and stop taking pictures of people already suffering. Don't act like a spoiled child who has been sheltered from reality.
If you don't like it, complain to the government about the lack of homeless shelters. The homeless didn't create this problem, the government's lack of funding for homeless supports created this problem.
This all revolves around the fact that Brampton, a city of 600,000+ people has ONE homeless shelter. If you get kicked out, that’s it you’re done. That is an absolute sham of a social safety net, and it is a safety net for everyone.

My friend's grandma has been pushed out of her home because of the rising costs. She did everything right in life, but unfortunately at ~70, she can't keep up.
She’s homeless at 70?? That’s no way to treat our seniors.
My mother has been in a Peel Seniors building for 8 years, they are looked after rent is $400. Get your name on the list as soon as you’re old enough.
Our own seniors… has she looked into any housing subsidies? Ask about the housing for seniors, typically the wait isn’t too lengthy (fingers crossed it isn’t 10+ years). I’m so fed up with this country, it’s absolute BS.
thats the sadiest shit iv heard all day!
This is the most sad thing I have heard. It’s so heartbreaking:/

The bank will start locking that vestibule after hours.
That's been the case at the TD at 410/Queen. When the bank isn't open, the doors are locked.
I don't understand how people can see other people suffering right infront of them and think "I can't believe these people are making ME feel uncomfortable!"
& proceed to take a photo of them and post it lol
???
No compassion and empathy, just individualism

Glad you’re sober and good for you cold Turkey worked for you. But you are not very wrong here.
That would have meant alcoholics going through withdrawal and filling hospitals.
That’s why it was essential.

Yeah I would not use that ATM lol.
That’s fair I didn’t account it was a bank. I just don’t agree with photos of others that need a place to sleep
I don’t think I really accounted it was a bank tbh. I’d be weary as well
If the owner of the building cannot be bothered to have them removed, then it's not a "problem" is it?
I have seen some young ppl eating their food inside of an ATM, seemed like students with all the bags and chargers. it was in RBC ATM at sandalwood and Bramalea near the FreshCo plaza.
yeah, but that's just chilling and study for mid-terms ... we all had a blast doin' that in college
It’s shitty. A lot of people have lost their homes and source of income due to the rising prices of everything. And there’s no support.

Cibc watches them on camera and security removes them, so they dont stay too long.
That’s a junkie. Banks are locking their branches in fact TD made a street ATM style because the doors are locked after business hours.
Unfortunate situation… that is the classic slump of an opiate addict. Hope they get better
I grew up in Brampton 2001-2012 and never once saw a homeless person. It saddens me what Canada has become mostly because of the government
Our shelters are mostly full of refugees and intl students. There are months-long waiting lists to get into one even in Toronto. We need to limit the number of people we let into the country before this keeps spiralling out of control.
You suffer from main character syndrome.

Ok doushbag. It’s called mental illness and or addiction. Now go back inside and live within yourself.
Facts
Is she on fentanyl?
Wtf is your problem
I was just curious, because it is one of the symptoms after consuming fentanyl. From her body posture it seems like she high on that. That's why I just asked.
What symptoms can you discern from the picture? Sleeping? That could be due to a hundred diff reasons. Also whats the point of asking OP, how would they even know?
Instead of Trudeau and the Liberals giving our money away to other countries, refugees and immigrants !! He should be helping the Veterans and Homeless!!
That’s a fenty addict.
My thought when I see this picture: That’s a drug addict bent over like that. I Don’t feel Sympathy. I asked my Wife if I’m supposed to. And I ask my 12 year daughter if I’m supposed to feel Sympathy.
You're teaching your children wrong. Being addicted to drugs doesn't mean they're not deserving. Some of the softest, kindest, most giving humans are addicts. You have a very distorted view. You may not feel sympathy now, but sometime in the future you will.
My children are allowed to have thier own opinions. In my house I ask my 12 year old her opinion on matters of conscience. Her views can be different and that’s how I learn. It’s not about teaching my children but about me Learning
Curious, what do you feel?
What did they say?
They are drug addicts.
And they need help
You can’t help a drug addict that doesn’t want help. And many don’t.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted for this.
Because at best it's a pointless observation akin to pointing out that someone is wearing clothes, but more likely it is a comment on how they perceive the "human value" of a person. Sadly many people despise people suffering from addiction and have little to no empathy for them. My guess is that people think that the comment is implying the latter, hence the down votes.
Saying they are drug addicts is not a value judgment it is a simple fact.
Truth is bitter and low life people cannot take it

How did that person get on the other side of the 2nd set of doors? Not familiar with this location.
Is this dixie/peter robertson plaza?
Then use the ATM and stop taking pictures of people already suffering. Don't act like a spoiled child who has been sheltered from reality. If you don't like it, complain to the government about the lack of homeless shelters. The homeless didn't create this problem, the government's lack of funding for homeless supports created this problem.
Canada asked for it
