Significant environmental damage? That small of an area isn't going to do anything significant to the environment. The Government does WAY more damage.

Dude that’s genius, they put so much effort into it they’ve earned the right to let them be

[YoungiinAmc]

shame on them for dismantling it they mad they cant tax camping

[bob-pxj]

this was extremely creative, would you rather live in a place that has running water and electrical or a smelly, drug fueled shelter? There's no way they should be booted out, ridiculous, they weren't hurting anybody, and maybe a few weapons, like many Albertans have in their

Fix your country Canada is a cold place to live and no one should be living outside.

Was on their side until police said they recovered multiple stolen valuables and were able to return them to rightful owners.

Did I hear there's a policy against _encampments?_ I think something like that makes sense some place _warm._ Some place the elements are not as _harsh_ as Alberta.

They destroyed there living place? Government & big companies do alot of damage, we know what to do now

... Leave them alone.... This is one of the few encampments that are avoiding the public and doing no harm ... Stop removing the encampments that are of zero threat ... Deal with the crackheads that are fighting the mall employees not the ones avoiding conflict

Manitoba needs to get rid of encampments. They bring so much crime to the city. Before you go off… there’s been a string of SA’s along those areas and weapons bleeding into the area

Ok take it down now let them live with the One that messed up this country

Looks like hard working individuals, now that you took their shelter we'll have to pay them asylum wages of what 5k per month?

one of these encampments would be perfectly legal in my province (q.c)as long as you pay rent to the crown for the land.

What were the chopping out there? Cars?
Looks like in real life the rotten Sherrif always wins.
