Mr Reisig hastens to assure the reader “first let me say I am not without compassion” then proceeds to demonstrate a total lack of compassion. He does however, demonstrate his prejudice, worship of the almighty dollar, an ability to jump to unjust conclusions to support his intolerance, stereotyping, fear mongering, a total lack of generousity of the spirit, ill will and an barbaric inhumanity to his fellow man.

If Mr. Reisig thinks it is so easy to find solutions to what is a very complex situation that he condemns the Mayor for pausing to think and consult with the community, he is the one whose intelligence should be questioned.Should Mr. Reisig feel insulted by my drawing attention to his demonstrated lack of brainpower, he may prove me wrong by laying out his miraculous quick, easy, neat and tidy solution to the issue of homelessness.

Homelessness is a community problem and will require the community to begin to address the needs of the diverse group of people who make up the ranks of the homeless in Abbotsford.
