High fines handed to young itinerants
Police are handing out $1546 tickets to young itinerants for gathering in public. Not only do they have nowhere to go, they’re clearly not able to pay a fine like this.

I don’t imagine many people are surprised to hear that.
It’s standard cop playbook to punitively give absurd tickets to the homeless. I am pretty sure they are still roughing them up “off the books” too.

Whoa! And I thought it was bad here in Ottawa. This outspoken homeless vet served the politicians during the FLQ crisis and moved from Montreal because of the SPVM. He says that the pandemic is making living rough a LOT rougher and makes some shocking accusations that may contain a few grains of truth.
