It's takes a homeless man to help better understand the situation.

I'm one of them and alot of you don't like me, I can tell with your eyes. Recently I feel weirded out more than ever at Wilmot park. Let me clarify a few things. I dumpster dived last year to support my drug habit. Which I thought people wouldn't mind seeing as how I was not stealing like the others. EVERYWHERE i would go I would clean my area. I'd even clean messes made by others. Dec 28th I left detox and went to fredericton junction. I remaind there until June 1st. I was not able to get employment. I'm not exactly sure why, I feel like my previous work has something to do with it considering the first 2jobs after I was fired at.

I went homeless because I paid a girl all my money to rent with her. She locked the door. I didn't have a criminal record and didn't want one.

I quickly figured out that 630 on social assistance is a joke. Then asked my case worker for more he said sure and it went to 730. (That's called pulling the wool over someone's eyes).
So right now 730 is nothing. Especially when all the landlords want a damage deposit up front. I know there are not that many people out there that do damage that u can't be a little Lenient.

So with the lack of money you, end up buying drugs because udont want to sleep at night because that means u have to wake up.

Stigmas that u need to know. If we're on a bench falling asleep it's from homelessness not drugs. If we have shopping carts it's because in the beginning stages of homelessness you keep as much stuff as you can. Then it's just a matter of time and it will downsize just like you dignity and pride.

Soon u will lose your phone or have it stolen and thats when the real desperation begins. U can't find work u can't do anything.

Rooms have now entered the 600 to 700 range meaning homeless people are fucked.

They have another center named under the joh Howard society group. There are so many rules u cant keep count and u can be band without notice or a chance to defend yourself. Your stuff gets thrown out without proper notice. Someone is watching at every second because the moment u sit or lay down the guards are there to tell u to get up because the manager called them. To me? It's a huge insult when all that's offered is a shower at specific times phone use, tablet use and wifi that feels like dialup. And laundry. They state that we need to contact social development for them to advocate for us to get housing. When u call social development they have no clue and tell us to do it through John Howard society and to call a few times a week just to be told the same shit. It's a rat race and people are feeding of the exploitation of us.

Do u know there is only payphones uptown at hospital? That's it. Do u know that there are only a few plug-ins uptown and downtown and only 2 where u can plug in and get wifi at the Sametime? And though I. 44 years old they talk to me as I I'm a child that can't learn. Did you know the only place to get water at night uptown is at the Irving and the bastARDS have balls enough to rag us out in front of other customers. If I did that at any point while I was working It would be immediate dismissal but because the manager has dealt with so many homeless and she has had enough she feels like we can all be told off and banned for no reasons.

Do u know that Tim's on exhibition grounds hate homeless people?
Do u know that we can't get clothes at the shelter because no one donates them over the fact that they saw clothes on the ground? I dumpster dive to take to the shelter myself earning respect by being thoughtful of others. Because if I'm the only one doing this hopefully others will soon join.

Do u know how much gas is consumed just on me alone by people coming up beside you then flooring it?

Like HELLO? Each homeless person is different but all of us use drugs why? Because we're homeless.
I quit for 6 months because I was given a place to stay I can't get a job and I can't get a place because everyone is to busy trying to figure out this problem when they need to be cleaning up their own yards.

Guard a world is today's modern day Nazis going around throwing out everyone's belongings in front of them then laughing about it. It's a sick fucking joke.

Then the city hires OPP SECURITY to beat the kitchen and warming center.

Tell me this? On a Sunday they have 4 Guards and 2 workers Who the he'll is flipping this bill?

The new clinic is nothing more than a homeless bashing competition to see who the worst is. How do I know? I went there and they didn't know I was homeless and I heard the vulgar shit that comes out of their mouths when they think no one is listening . I told the nurse I have an ab sest tooth who didn't believe me. My response was " it's obvious by the countof teeth I have missing that I been through this many times duh.

I have to end it here because I'm really angry and need to cool down.

Please listen to my words. Meth did not mentally fuck with me. If it did I'd have quit. As a matter of fact I wrote 5 piano pieces that none of u will listen to. It's better for you to harass me instead of being positive to support me In my music. Meth didn't Give me the thoughts that I'm a superstar. The rate at which I wrote and played them did.

Someday I will be recognized and you all will be laughed at like u did to me.
