Homeless Press Report
(HP) Abbotsford, BC
In a supremely ironic twist of fate it would appear that the wrong group was worried about the honesty of their new neighbours. Over the past several days the residents of Compassion Park have suffered the theft of several valuable and needed items. These items were of a large enough size that they could not have been removed through the Park unto Highway 11 without the residents seeing the thief. The only path the thief (thieves) could have used to enter and exit unseen is via the residential neighbourhood adjacent to Compassion Park. Thus it seems that the residents of this adjacent neighbourhood should not have been nearly as concerned about theft and the honesty of their new neighbours in Compassion Park as they (and obviously the residents of the Park) should have been/be concerned about the honesty of their old neighbours in their residential suburb.

You may not have expected Partnerships BC to lead to an article on the homeless but it did. I had a quote from Liberal Dave Hayer about the governments policy on the homeless, which I was sure should be an article for my website about being homeless in Abbotsford – http://www.homelessinabbotsford.com/. But I just could not get a handle on writing it. Until I read about you, your questions and the information about salaries at Partnerships BC. I have included the article below in case you are interested in reading it.
As I say in the article I am interested in any of these high $$$,$$$ salary positions in order to ‘grow out of my lifestyle of living on the street (aka homelessness)’. Perhaps, if the opportunity should present itself, you could enquire of the appropriate government member (minister) where I might seek and find such a lucrative position? After all “The best way to help the homeless is to make sure they have and opportunity to find a job” – and I would seize the opportunity for any similar (to Partnerships BC) position.
Thank you for your time and attention

Those who go to church every Sunday, talk the talk, but whose actions fail to even begin to walk the walk. Or in the words so well written to the local paper:
“Jesus didn’t praise them for building beautiful churches with wonderful programs, instead, he praised them for feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, sheltering strangers, and taking care of the sick and imprisoned. Jesus said that whatever you do to the least of these, that is what you are doing to him.If we want to be known as a Christian community, all of us need to join the ranks of those who are doing what Jesus actually told us to do. Let’s start meeting the needs of those in Abbotsford who have the least. While the needs of the least of these in our community are so wholly unmet, how dare we even begin to take a moral stand. It will only be regarded as gross hypocrisy.”
