You have to enlarge these to get the full impact. Remember these are blaring billboards. I wonder how the new kids in town are gonna take to the old kids in town- Nameres (a shelter that services Natives, and other men) for instance, and all the other agencies that service the poor and marginalized in this hood; and all ensuing results, such as panhandlers.
The police in this district have a reputation for being heavy handed and I myself have been a victim of their bullying. They are walking the beat and cleaning the street. The “old boy’s club” is alive and well on St Clair West.  They frequent the pricey restaurants and cafes springing up everywhere and that are replacing affordable amenities for the poor.

The familiar fruit and vegetable store owned and operated by immigrants is not so familiar anymore. Most businesses moving in have prices that are prohibitive for the poor and/or working class. Some owners don’t see the need for two second-hand clothing stores (“doesn’t look good for the neighborhood” was one comment). Little do they realize that even  the Goodwill is even too expensive for us with it’s catering to a new class of clientele; prices are ridiculous and  no longer provide an affordable service our community.

Nameres.
and all the souls it “shelters”…

When an agency asks for money, it’s fund-raising (which first pays their salaries); when a poor person does it, it’s panhandling and you will be threatened with jail or get a ticket you certainly can’t afford to pay…
This province spends more on band-aids and their workforce then it would if it actually fixed the problem.
Now that’s the Poverty Industry.
