See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I think using cannabis as I did remedied the worst parts of my depression. I stopped using cannabis earlier in July 2023 so as to be work ready to drive trains, should I be so lucky as to get a job doing so. I’m humming a song during the day, and am generally much happier than I was over the past year, and I think I have cannabis to thank for it. Thanks cannabis!

Some of the scenes of homelessness I have witnessed over the past ten years are gross. When I was on the street, and fantasizing about being exceptionally wealthy, I thought about what it would be like to create a dome enclosure where the homeless could set up tents, eat, shower, and exercise. There would be a track around the perimeter of the dome, and tents spaces in the middle. I haven’t drawn up any sketches yet.

Homelessness, I feel, should be eradicated around the world, but in civilized nations especially. The affluence of a USA or Canada could be directed internally to get people off the streets, treat mental health and addictions, and revolutionize the way the disenfranchised exist. From experience I know that being on the street is exhausting, however, I would have loved the opportunity to exercise somewhere, and do strength training. The benefits of exercise are fairly well documented, but in treating homelessness, exercise options are rarely prioritized or highlighted.

I hope I’m not thinking too small. Would it make sense to relocate all the homeless in Canada to domes? Canadian homeless are the most vulnerable, needing protection from Canadian winters.

A video to consider about homelessness in Vancouver, B.C.

Phillip Gallant used to eat at the Union Gospel Mission and Salvation Army around Hastings street in the summer of 2019, and walking by the human wreckage to get to those places was always disturbing. If the homeless were contained elsewhere, like in some kind of remote dome, maybe the streets would be safer, and businesses could thrive. Being homeless is an unfortunate problem, so appropriately containing that problem should make sense.

It would be nice if the private sector stepped in with some philanthropy to clear up all of the tent cities that seem to be popping up everywhere. I am disgusted thinking about these tent cities, that people in a developed nation are living without plumbing or electricity. Is there not a way to redirect these unfortunate souls to somewhere safe with basic amenities? The Waterloo Region has some good ideas for relocating the homeless and maybe other cities can take note and act. It bothers me every time I see a tent out in public that nothing and nobody has responded to what is obviously an emergency. I worked three jobs and lived in a tent out in the woods at one point because of my mental health problems, and can say it is not fun or something I want to do again (I showered at the gym and used public libraries to charge my devices).

I also spent a year at the Calgary Drop-In Centre. It did well containing the homelessness, serving food, and providing laundry service, but I still think newer prisons are more efficient and ideal, as you get a room, your own toilet, a TV, and a spot to workout and sport; in summary a modern prison can give you more or as much. Building what is essentially a prison, with Wifi, and having maybe an open door policy so the homeless can get vitamin D and maybe find a way to be productive at a library might be an ideal alternative. The facilitator may also be able to study the homeless community’s data through a wifi agreement and provide mental health and addiction services.

Maybe when Universities commit to remote, residences can be converted to housing for the homeless? They may at least serve as a model.
