ואילו בצד השני של האוקיאנוס
Yet Canada's busiest streets are still home to the poor, addicted and mentally ill in alarming numbers. Edmonton turned part of an underground rapid transit station into an emergency warm-up centre during a January cold snap. About 60 people used it after being turned away from overflowing city shelters as the mercury fell to -30 C. In Toronto, a grim memorial will be held May 14 to mark the loss of 300 people in the last decade whose deaths were directly linked to homelessness. In Ottawa, three panhandlers bundled in wool blankets against an early spring chill thanked passersby for change, cigarettes and a few bananas.
