Canadian Politics Today

I heard that there's a lot of homeless out in BC areas because homeless travel there because its much more mild in the winter, which makes sense because being homeless at -15 degrees would suck, not to mention harder to beg on the streets etc.

Is this true?

Sure it's true, and for the very reason you suggest: it's warmer here in winter. Victoria has had a number of tent communities spring up at various times this time of year. A large one was set up on the provincial courthouse lawn. You may recall Mr. redneck Mayor Ralph Klein suggesting one time he was going to buy all his homeless population a one way bus ticket to get them down here.
