Do you conceptualize your thoughts via printed word? Your inner voice, for example. I wouldn't think (Although I don't know a lot about it) that that voice would be a voice as such.

Why is it that here in Kingston, the homeless get stopped from asking people for change, told to move on, and be on their way, and yet I get harassed almost every day by people with binders trying to get me to support any number of causes who are not ever asked to "move along"

Do these people have permits to ask for their donations, or would you find they are in violation of the safe street act in Ontario?

I am a chef here in Kingston. I would suggest any of our Pubs for an easy lunch, but if you are looking for something a little finer, hit up Brock street downtown. Fantastic restaurants.

And if you love poutine, I would suggest Bubba's downtown.

Would you say another example of "Aggressive Panhandling" would be persisting you listen to what they have to say, even if you have said "I'm not interested?" Because these "Legitimate beggars" are known in the city to be aggressiveness in nature. I see these students standing outside of banks all of the time, and police just wander by them. is it the clean clothes? the social stigma placed on the homeless?

Or could it be for the same reason that KPD rounds up homeless before the Buskers. Because we are a tourist town, and no one wants to see the homeless population?
