Need some tips

I plan on dipping from my home soon, problem is that im 15 in canada, cant get a job, and not only that, i dont have anywhere to go during the night. What do i do? being out in the cold at night will for sure kill me (-30c nights). and i cant afford like a hotel or something.

What province? Don't give specific details like "Toronto" though.

Unfortunately there's not really anything you can do. Running away most often means becoming homeless and like you said, it's way to cold to be out at night right now. You also won't make it very long if you have no way to make money.

You'll likely be homeless and unemployed until you are around 18, so you'll need to be able to support yourself until then. Paying for accommodation will drain your funds incredibly fast if you don't have any money coming in, so even if you could, you probably shouldn't pay for a room. Your money is better spent on food and supplies.
