    Oh Canada. I always looked up to you as a kind of USA but where people actually would like to live. This is news i would’ve expected of your neighbours.

            No argument from me there. However, I’m pretty sure this is at the behest of the city, not the police taking actions on their own.

      Sometimes it is necessary for public safety and sanitation reasons. The camp in that video certainly looked like a bonfire waiting to happen. The reality is though that this just moves the problem somewhere else. It is not like kicking them out magically creates a better, safer, warmer place for them to go to.

        It would be necessary for " public health and sanitary reasons" to help those people somehow. Not just, like you concluded, just shove the somewhere else. Or just disperse them.

        Sure, it might look like a bonfire, but none of those people probably actually WANTED this, if they’ve had the chance to voice their opinion.
