No. 1 election issue

Editor:

Canada has abundant resources. Our government can buy pipeline corporations, fund senators and major companies to the tune of billions of dollars.

Our citizen homeless population that is growing is not addressed. We can say no to housing solutions local non-profits struggle to implement. It is so easy to say no without any solution offered as an alternative.

We fail to provide our low-income citizens with the most basic of human needs. We close our public facilities on holidays and during the off-season. Where do the homeless go when they need to deal with their bodily functions? It is a public health issue that will grow as the population increases.

Mental health problems blossom when people are denied the most basic of human needs. Just saying no is not a solution.
