I wondered if I caught a whiff of British Expat in that letter.

Yeah, low income peeps are too busy snorting lines of coke and turning tricks to be wasting time on the likes of the internet.

Got the link from an Edmonton mate on FB. Judging by the response, it's not going down too well.

Can someone in St Albert post a picture of the Perry's house? Preferably with their cars on the driveway? I need to see them before I can pass judgement on them.

The comments are brilliant! What a sorry excuse for a human you are Mr. perry.

"Money comes and goes. Remember this, especially in today's economy and recession. Many "rich" people are losing their jobs and are finding it hard to pay the bills. This can happen to you and your family. No one, regardless of their "class" is exempt. If it does, wouldn't you want community support and the availability of organizations that could possibly help you?"

I went a-googling and the nearest I could find was the subdivision

Doesn't look that fancy to me.

It seems they own a local business and there are websites and comments suggesting they are boycotted. They have apologised for the letter but if their business goes bust then they may need that low income housing themselves.

What's that in blocks?

I live about 2 blocks from low income 'supportive' housing. Interestingly the (one) problem child at my kid's school doesn't come from there, but a private single family home.

That suburb looks like Coquitlam. Or Maple Ridge. Or Poco. It's amazing how they all look the same no matter where they are.

It really was an unbelievably stupid thing for a business owner to do. WTF were they thinking.

Oh FFS. I'd prefer that to living within 2000m of those wankers.
