Canadian homeless encampments have become increasingly visible in recent years, and those residing within them have faced a fair bit of variation in how local governments react to their presence. Today, let's look at a remarkable legal case that may change the game regarding how homeless encampments are considered under Canadian law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Worst part is that technically things are a lot better for everyone when you don’t need to worry about a homeless population. The only people who would lose anything wouldn’t even notice if three quarters of their money disappeared and they can’t handle losing even a handful of dollars to things like the appropriate compensation of their workers or paying their fuckin’ taxes.
