22,000 people in Alberta instantly lost their welfare cheques in 1993  - announced by the Premier Klein for political reasons -  whom btw admitted to being a drunk after he left office... and sent them to BC because of political hate for NPD parties and no thought about the people living in BC or the people of his own province. He kicked out anyone that would not vote for him. It was political.

that also does not include the ones sent from Saskatchewan and Manitoba. 

that fact you deny it, while the evidence is clear, in records and in the DTES themselves (if they didn't die from overdose yet) is the actual problem. You have to recognize the problem to solve it.
