    This absolutely is not true, and even if somehow there was a clip of someone saying that, the person saying it was an idiot and/or you misunderstood them, because CERB was federal and BC didn’t offer a single cent more than any other province.

    BC (specifically the lower mainland aka the area around Vancouver) has always had more homeless and transient people, because it’s the only province where the winter won’t flat out kill you if you are outdoors.

      The documentary of Oppenheimer Park’s homeless “camp” has multiple people saying it.

      One was a former welder from Ontario.

        Well whoever they were, they had no fucking clue what they were talking about, BECAUSE CERB WAS A FEDERAL PROGRAM AND PAID THE SAME AMOUNT TO EVERY PROVINCE.

        Who cares what anyone said, the entire foundation of your argument is false, this is meaningless to the conversation and I specifically said either they are an idiot or you misunderstood.

        Also I notice how you didn’t actually link anything, and expect me to go watch an entire documentary (without naming it) to see your “proof”.
