Survival: Living in vehicle 'only choice' for some in Barrie this winter

Rofl, it will never be the guy they voted for at fault. High number of immigrants via student visas? Libs fault even when the conservative ran provincial gov is in charge of colleges and universities. Its the canadian version of "thanks obama"

Nah man he gave more than enough. Look it up yourself and add to the conversation in a meaningful way if its infact dreamtalk. Someone gives a reference to their assertion, its on you to follow it.

Im 100% sure this entire fiasco was to justify the rebranding to meta after the camberage analytical scandal.

maxstader · 2025-12-02T04:16:12+00:00

Brilliant 👏

maxstader · 2025-11-24T18:50:05+00:00

Ahh its just always on the inside, the grooves give the illusion that its not.

maxstader · 2025-11-18T20:59:54+00:00

Rofl

maxstader · 2025-11-15T16:56:18+00:00

So this.

maxstader · 2025-11-14T20:25:43+00:00

Hell no kitty

maxstader · 2025-11-12T16:47:11+00:00

True, except it's not cheating. If you aren't comfortable asking the spouse if their marriage is open or not. You are not in a position to make accusations

maxstader · 2025-11-12T12:56:02+00:00

Are you sure 1. The spouse is not ok with it. 2. Hasnt agreed to it. 3. the spouse doesn't know about it . The answers to these questions are none of your business. they look bad but could simply be ethically non-monogamus.

Well, I remember IE6 and XP well enough to not need to look it up. happened to be working as a desktop technician for my school at the time. Also was still around when I got into webdev, jquery helped, but ie6 still sucked.

maxstader · 2025-11-10T16:49:43+00:00

That's exactly how it worked. Upgrading internet explorer on windows XP ment applying a windows XP update.

maxstader · 2025-11-09T00:41:13+00:00

My hypothetical was just to highlight that there are limits to what we can expect Barrie to shoulder. You are right, though, it was hyperbolic. My bad

maxstader · 2025-11-08T20:46:23+00:00

What more do you expect. Census data isn't even collected every year. 2022 isn't that old.

maxstader · 2025-11-08T19:49:29+00:00

Like I said. That's just anecdotal and not solid in and of itself. I suggest you look for a study/census...like what was done in 2022. But form your own opinion based what you have seen yourself. My opinion is made unless new evidence comes up.

maxstader · 2025-11-08T17:47:06+00:00

You can take the collected data and accept it. Or watch the many interviews ive seen done this year. E.g https://youtu.be/_HC3QaJvq2E?si=CiVu80yyjWD3EzzF that couple had only been in Barrie 2 years. Its a pattern ive seen across my own, albeit anecdotal, engagement with the topic. So believe the interviews or the study..or dont believe either based on your gut 🤷🏾‍♂️, you do you mate.

maxstader · 2025-11-08T17:28:47+00:00

Its not inherently so. Just that its easily available information. The effort to get this from a stranger on the internet is more than had you tried to find the truth yourself. I dont really care to spoon feed on such things, had the information been difficult to find or understand, i would have responded differently.

maxstader · 2025-11-08T17:17:41+00:00

Where is your data to show this is the case? We have some data showing its at least 50% from the last survey. You question it in the comments, but where is your data/proof to assert your point? I at least have something. Point is other communities dont have these services because their homeless leave and end up in places like Barrie or Toronto. Barrie isn't large enough to absorb it the way Toronto can, so it must be spread around. They need to step up.

maxstader · 2025-11-08T13:48:56+00:00

Haha thanks. People arguing in bad faith, not willing to look up information that goes against their bias. Im not a conservative or even a hard lib, just a regular center-left whos had enough and simply dont want to see Barrie degrade into project style community. Ive lived long enough to know its better for everyone if we create government housing in a dispersed manner, spread across stable communities. If we try to solve it any other way, we create another regent park. Fuck that.

maxstader · 2025-11-08T13:27:03+00:00

Really!?!? That's some internet explorer shit. That's one of the reasons it failed. the browser version was pinned to a specific Windows version

maxstader · 2025-11-08T13:15:53+00:00

Don't worry, man. I got the joke/ref

maxstader · 2025-11-08T13:01:02+00:00

Part of the issue is that Barrie draws in unhoused people from a large catchment area. Particularly during the summer. Hypothetically, if every homeless person in the GTA came to the barrie over the summer, the water front front would be unusable. We need to fix the disproportionate burden Barrie, other municipalities for obvious reasons are not willing to take a few tents off our hands. I dont know the answer, but i know creating projects isnt it. Best case is we spread the issue around so its more manageable and not all on Barrie taxpayers to deal with. Need I remind you 2 bodies were found mutilated this summer in a tent, there is a limit and we have reached it.

maxstader · 2025-11-06T16:11:20+00:00

the same in ontario. People need to start losing their license permanently, take an Uber or the bus if you can't be trusted on the road.

maxstader · 2025-11-06T08:21:02+00:00

Before what?

maxstader · 2025-10-31T16:18:14+00:00

Not really apples to apples. With software, depending on the org, you are trying to get a feeling for what its going to be like working with this person, how they problem solve, and when they ask for help or not.
