The presence of a homeless encampment in Cobourg, Ontario isn't sitting well with a resident, and he's taken to Reddit to express his outrage. And he "thinks something bigger is at play here." His fellow citizens aren't convinced.

LOL. I actually know this place! It's got a great beach.
Anyway, I know exactly what happened to the town's politics that's preventing any actual solutions to dealing with the problem:
For years young girls finishing highschool in Cobourg have headed into Toronto to get a degree in some useless social studies program where they get brainwashed into a ton of progressive nonsense. When they can't find jobs in the city because their degrees are basically worthless, these young ladies move back home and perpetually squak about far-left ideas loud enough to confuse the old people and rubes who never left the area into voting for lefty politicians who are incapable of managing anything, let alone an actual town.
Forcing the homeless onto a bus with a one way ticket to Vancouver is cruel and inhumane though, so the problem is never dealt with and the number of bums in town just keeps slowly ticking up.

Yeah I live in Cobourg and it's ticking me off that we are letting this group of addicts frick around with there tents. Spent a million bucks on a house here and apparently the town is run by the homeless and they can do whatever they want.:

Im part of the solution. I'm young and have a good job. I moved to Cobourg. I hope as more young people with high incomes move here we can push out the lower incomes and have a better town.:

I'll flood this town with international students so people like you have even less opportunities to live rent here.:
