A new poll shows that many Canadians feel less safe because of homeless violence and believe that the government is not effectively addressing homelessness. For years, soft-on-crime activists and their allies have tried to bury this issue, but it is clear based on public sentiment that this needs to change.
The poll, conducted by Leger in partnership with Postmedia, shows that: 58 per cent of Canadians believe that homelessness is an issue in their community; 46 per cent feel less safe in their community because of homelessness; and 39 per cent believe that homelessness has led to more violence in their community.
These numbers strikingly rebuke the “everything is fine and crime at homeless encampments isn’t serious” propaganda that some activists, bureaucrats and media figures have spent years championing.
