Panhandlers in Canada?

Do we have panhandlers in Canada? I don't know about it or any story about panhandlers or panhandling in Canada. Their strategy here is different from other countries.

Every Christmas, Salvation Army had their transparent glass or plastic kettles hanging from their outpost and they have somebody dressed nicely and neatly standing by the doors main entrance or exit doors on every department stores or malls (big box stores).

You can see on every roads and streets on cold weather situation in any city of their choice about these group of Rotarians asking for donations before Christmas.

TV News Network asking donation of any kind of toys for their TOY MOUNTAIN gift-giving for children.

Sometimes, group of sports club and their players stood by at the cashier's till section and asked shoppers politely if they can help in bagging their groceries and you as customers will have to donate money for them. The smallest amount of money being donated is $5.00 for bagging groceries at your convenience. $5 for few minutes of work. Others are generous giving more than what they can afford to give. Remember they made more money because the minimum wage is now $15/hour in Ontario.

There are so many CHARITIES IN CANADA and some of the founders are rich, wealthy people. They don't need to work, they just have to command their people to do the work for them to ask donations for their cause.

For the poor doing the fundraising or asking money or donations in kind it's called PANHANDLING.
For the rich or well to do families asking donations in terms of money and in kind it's called CHARITY.

Some people hate panhandlers because they are POOR!
They love Charity because they are RICH people asking for donations.
