Let them graze on crops

Gordon Campbell's post-election cabinet shuffle includes putting the responsibility for social housing under the ministry of Forests and Range. The precise duties of the Minister:
Forest stewardship and timber supply
Forest protection – pests and fire
Compliance and enforcement
Forest investment
Timber pricing and sales
BC Timber Sales
Grazing and range stewardship
Housing and homelessness policy

Apparently B.C.'s homeless should give up on ever seeing the luxury of Porta-Potties - instead they'll be sent out to the woods to fend for themselves. (It remains to be seen whether Rich Coleman, the Minister responsible, will classify the homeless as "pests" under his mandate.)
