Does Toronto, Ontario have a lot of homelessness and poverty?

Toronto is a city of contrasts, different nationalities and cultures, where everyone coexists as one huge family. What is really surprising is that even homeless people who ask for money, in case of refusal, wish you a successful day. Not to mention public transport drivers, who for the most part greet you and say thanks when you show your pass or pay for your fare. It is some sort of an unspoken tradition or just a tribute of respect, to wish a neighbor, a stranger in the park a good day or just say hi. Toronto is a place where you feel at harmony and peace.
To know Toronto is to know the diversity of cultures and religions, or at least become apt in an open, possibly never-ending, understanding of multiple groups. However, if know the fundamentals of the modern city Toronto, they simply know that there is a tenacity and ambitiousness with the people; everyone strives to know and be open to more and more knowledge. Other than the perseverance of Torontonians, as we like to call ourselves (we have a knack for dramatic flare), the not-so-simple truth know are those who are struck with poverty and inherently very low-income are high in number – which, ironically, goes hand-in-hand with the determination of others.
