Ed Stranb, 60, a former homeless person stands against what used to be an old horse stable where he used to sleep on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2009 in Waterloo, Ont. When most people think Blackberry they think of the booming high-tech company RIM making billions _ an outfit with thousands of employees, easily bank rolling a millionaires' row in its hometown of Waterloo in southwestern Ontario. And indeed, in Canada's so-called Technology Triangle _ the cities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge _ as many as 2,000 high-paying, high-tech jobs are going begging. But in a startling juxtaposition, the region is also registering an unemployment rate of 9.2 per cent, higher than the national average of 8.6 per cent. And even here, there are homeless living on the streets. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette
