Curling club shelter will be a permanent home to squatters

Editor:
I propose the City Of Lethbridge make the Civic athletic field available to the so called “homeless tent people.” We should provide portable toilets and bottled water to the inhabitants and wait for Mr. Winter to roll in. Once Mr. Winter comes, the real homeless will use our current indoor shelters and the pretenders will go home. If council approves the curling rink as a temporary shelter and takes on maintaining and cleaning it – it will take an army to remove the squatters – it will be permanent and cost taxpayers a lot of money. I am surprised that council members cannot remember the hard love their parents extended them while growing up. The same applies here.

wouldn’t have been had the city not hammered another nail in the downtown and kept the curling club there, rather than relocate it to the farthest reaches of the city.
Amen Grant!
How about letting the coddlers donate their money to the cause, rather than continuing to hit the taxpayer for costs?
As the latter, I’ve seen my taxes jump significantly year after year, and we’ll be in for a big jump next year for certain.
These people are homeless by their own choice. Too lazy to get a job.
Todays’s word for lazy in some cases is “entitled”. They are entitled to be lazy and survive on others guilt and money.
And let’s not forget, there is still a gun there somewhere in tent city, which was used in a shooting some weeks back. Police have never recovered it.
Very high probability of an other firearm offence, very dangerous people.
