People always criticized Stephen Harper for his lack of emotion so I'm glad that Conservatives have finally found someone who can really relate to people

CRAB PARK DECAMPMENT UPDATE THREAD:

Residents who were not home when fences were put up to cutoff the tent city are not being allowed in to collect their belongings. This is a tactic to destabilize people's lives and displacement (again, this is not about cleaning).

Blocking media, legal observers and advocates allows the City, Park Board and Police to treat unhoused people indiscriminately. It hides the violence of eviction.

This exclusion zone has become a common tactic for Mayor Ken Sim.
