Talk:Homelessness in Canada

message: The discussion page of the article Canadians of convenience addresses the CPRN paper. I have neither the time, nor the inclination, to tackle a brooded article. Adamant myopia needs the intervention of objective & informed third parties.
As for the Statistics Canada paper on low-income rates, it is tackling low-income as a relative measure. It addresses neither homelessness nor incomes at, or resulting in, such an outcome. To wit, it states that this rate showed a larger increase amongst the university-educated! --P00r (talk) 05:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed this section. None of the cites gives any evidence that immigrants are more likely to be homeless than native born Canadians. In fact the opposite is true, as discussed in detail in this Globe article. - SimonP (talk) 19:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The title of the section is called "Lack of low-income housing".  Do you need more citations that immigrants are more likely to use subsidized housing (in addition to the one you deleted)?  That is easy if that is the concern. Deet (talk) 23:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: First off your links don't even indicate that immigrants use more subsidized housing. They simply say that they have a greater need for it, not that they use it. For this section to stay we need actual evidence that immigrants have in recent years taken up a larger share of Canada's subsidized housing. - SimonP (talk) 03:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Frankly, this is one of the hardest facts in the entire section, which is otherwise full of anecdotes and theories. 45% of Torontonians are foreign born and the paragraph points out that they have over twice the need for subsidized housing, spot on relevant in a section regarding the lack of subsidized housing.  I didn't invent the section, just pointed out an important element.  Deet (talk) 09:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is its original research. You could use the same numbers to prove that immigrants are more likely to be homeless than native Canadians, but then if you look at the facts you find they are actually less likely to be. Without evidence, we don't know if the same thing is the case with subsidized housing. - SimonP (talk) 11:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

text:  You could say the same thing about virtually any paragraph in the article (which, even if there were citations, are all anecdotal). Deet (talk) 04:14, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
