Should you give money to homeless people when you meet them abroad?

No money, but you can still help them. Canada has a relatively complete social relief system, such as food relief stations, which are divided into several categories, such as emergency food programs/food banks, community outreach food distribution and church food programs. So, if they are in urgent need, they can find a way to solve the problem of eating. The same is true about residence. Of course, it is not that there are no problems at all, and the reports here are constantly criticizing these relief systems, but what is certain is that they can definitely guarantee people's basic right to subsistence.
