A pair of short summaries, the Canadian government's response, and a CBC documentary :) :

All of this disgusts me. Makes me sick to my stomach it does. I would say something, but it might be taken as being blatantly racist rather than an objective observation.
Ugh.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
