A white station wagon is an impractical choice for a retail store, even if the bulk of your product is toques. It would be cold and cramped and parking in the wrong place might get you a ticket, or towed. Now imagine living in it. “People get used to things and then ignore it,” said Stephen Gaetz, board president and the director of the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, speaking about the visible poverty we all pass every day on the street. There will be two more shops opened this week, offering toques and socks for $10, and pompom toques and baseball hats for $20.
