Powerful Video Of Canada's Homeless Reading 'Mean Tweets'

[progressoid]

We're all used to having some comic relief when we watch one of Jimmy Kimmel's "Mean Tweets" segments, but when you talk about a serious issue like homelessness in Canada, there's nothing to laugh about.

In a new video campaign by Raising The Roof called Humans For Humans, an initiative that supports long-term solutions for homelessness, we see homeless men and women read mean tweets from various Twitter users online. Although the Kimmel version is directly related to the people reading the tweets, these tweets are about homelessness and homeless people as a whole.
