Come on down to the Vancouver downtown east side - you'll find a couple of hundred homeless people. The fact that they are almost entirely men may explain why nothing substantial is ever done for them because I'm pretty sure if the headline was something like "200 hundred women homeless and sleeping outdoors in CoV" something would be done PDQ.

Federally if you're sitting in a refugee camp Trudeau will bail you out. You're a Canadian sleeping on the ground? Trudeau doesn't care.
As for StatsCan, the City of Vancouver surveyed the homeless years ago (and the number was over 200 then) by sending people out counting them. It was all done in one day so people wouldn't be double counted. StatsCan can't manage to do this simple thing?
