I don't give money to panhandlers. In my city, the popular spot for them to hang out and beg for money is right in front of the LCBO (liquor store) so you know exactly where that money is going.

There's a skinny homeless man I've seen in my neighbourhood. He's got a shopping cart piled this high with stuff and I've seen him in other areas 5+ kilometers away, so he gets around and takes his cart with him. Last time I had to run down to the corner store for some milk, I saw him buying SO MANY lotto tickets. Which makes me wonder if he's mentally ill. All that money could have been better spent on a hot meal.
