Canada has lots and lots of homeless people...there were stacks of punks on Granville St (street the backpackers was on) bumming change in exchange for weed.

It's a lot sadder here in Calgary as it's 0 degrees out there tonight and we got asked for change about 10 times today, apparently there are deaths during winter every year. Though Calgary is supposed to have a really good support system for the homeless to help through the cold months.
