Has the city lost it's mind...

Canada might have more mental health issues due to lack of sunlight, and depressing winters for some who can't find ways to enjoy it while they are forced to be inside most of the time.
Might explain why people in sunny 3rd world countries seem so laid back and cheerful because they get ton's of sun and can spend lots of time outdoors.

Statistically, you're more than three times less likely to be pushed in front of a subway train by a person who went through the foster child system in Ontario than a person who went through the system in Manitoba.

The Manitoba stats may be skewed by the problems within the indigenous population. Winnipeg has some bad stats with murder because of generations of misguided white man's ideas.

Sure you can. Actually being a parent is a choice, and many simply chose to walk away from that responsibility. That's 100% on them.

100% agree but sadly their offspring have to face the burden(s) as well..

Unfortunately the only winners in those scenarios are the losers that leave without consequence.

I personally couldn't imagine leaving my children to fend for themselves. Drive me effing bananas sometime, but I can't wait to hug them at every opportunity. But I have never been forced to make a choice of whether to leave them or stay.
 
My best friend spent time in foster care as an infant , circumstance made that a better place for her to be . Her mother took her back at age 1 ish .

A sad reality is many of the kids in the 'system' are the result of parents that have addiction issues, mental health are simply the children themselves of people with alcohol and drug issues or limited mental capacity and the cycle continues. There are cases where childrens aid is waiting at the hospital for person XX to deliver and the infant is removed immediately . Equaly frightening are the women delivering a 3-4th child and can tell you to the penny what the child tax credit will pay for baby X , its a bank account supporting a welfare based lifestyle.

In high school there were quite a few girls who's career plan was to pop out some kids and live off of the system. That is what their mothers did and it is what they know....

This is all too common. In Poland, the currently idiotic ruling party (PiS - full on return to church and state being intertwined) instituted a $500/month stipend for each child.

Better to pop out 3-4 kids and you make more money than actually working.

Shockingly a certain portion of the population started popping out kids.

I can sort of blame parents where there are no parents , I'm only familiar with one incident of immaculate conception . Somewhere are two folks that got together long enough to reproduce.
I know thats a pretty simplified response. I'm simple

Being "Nice", as we Canadians are supposed to be, has its drawbacks.

A single mom that lost her hubby in a construction accident is completely different than party girl mom that can't remember the guys name.

However the children shouldn't be punished for the sins of the parents. I absolutely hate being held over a barrel being forced to help a loser because failing to do so endangers an innocent party. Think about helping your parents while another sibling is living in their basement playing video games and eating the groceries you dropped off for your parents.

To starve the sibling out you have to starve your parents so it doesn't happen. Adding injury to insult, when your parents die the slob in the basement gets preferred treatment in the estate because he/she has become dependent.
 
Back to city violence;

Part of me always wonders if there has been an explosion of violence in the city/on public transport or if we are just hearing about it more.

Was is 2018 or 19 when racism was huge on the news? Someone jackass would write the n-word on the inside of a port-a-potty at a construction site and we'd have ever news outlet there doing live interviews. Some school kid faking having her hijab ripped off for attention. Etc. Etc. I have no doubt that racism still happens, its just its not newsworthy anymore unless its a major event (George Floyd, etc.).

Either way something needs to be done. What is something? I dont know. If you're going to push someone in front of a subway train or stab someone randomly, no amount of counseling is going to help you. The baby has already been born on that one. For some reason the TTC has become a daycare for these people, and that needs to end.

On my way to nairobi I sat beside a beautiful and friendly polish girl. She wanted to me to redirect for a couple days to visit poland. I decided not to for many reasons. Good thing too as I had recently started dating the person I would marry. Lots of what ifs but timing didn't work out.
