Great clip shrub.

I agree - Jeff puts it very well. Good for him that he is able to work part-time. He is lucky.

Across the country housing is becoming more and more expensive. More and more Canadians are using a higher percentage of their paycheck to pay for rent. What to do when you can't pay the rent and for food, clothing, heating?

A huge percentage of Calgary's homeless have jobs. They either can't afford the rent, or they can't find housing. It's not a matter of being lazy. It's about a lack of services.

Jeff is fortunate to be able to find work. Many people can't. It can be hard for people with savings in the bank, a roof over their head and a social support network to land a job.

If you don't have a clean suit for a job interview, a place to shower, references, a CV, a phone number where to receive calls, or if you haven't had a decent meal and good night's sleep for weeks - how are you supposed to compete? How can you walk into a business and be expected to be taken seriously.

Many people believe that the homeless should work harder at trying to improve their lives. It's just not that easy.

Absolutly! I'm a crazy worker myself, sometime.

But with all bad depressions I got and days of alcoolisme and drug addiction. Who should I blame?
