I biked by this morning during the eviction. They had a garbage truck and city workers were throwing everything in. There was a bit of media and about 20 cops.

Saw on social media that the small encampment at the southwest end of Jeanne-Mance Park was also being removed today. Guess the city decided it’s eviction day for the unhoused.

3 years was pretty patient for CP really. Them staying there forever wasn’t really an option.
I passed it often. It started very clean and tidy, but in recent weeks I saw 2 fights and it had been getting messier over the last months too.
Sucks stuff was tossed in the garbage, but they were given opportunity to move their stuff.

Elsewhere.
I don’t have a magic solution for you.

How about 30 feet up the tracks? If there’s nowhere to go, anywhere is just fine.
As the saying goes, put up or shut up. You can’t just tell people with nowhere to go to just be “elsewhere”.
This is also relevant re: refugees. I’m not surprised you are unsympathetic.
