Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure staff delivered eviction notices earlier this week, giving campers seven days to get out.

“They gave us eviction notices and told us if we’re not out, they’ll take a bulldozer and bulldoze everything,” said Joey, who has been living at the camp for about six months.

“Just get us into housing. We all want to get into housing,” he said.

But that’s not likely to happen.

“Right now, shelters are full," said Josh Burton, program manager at CEDAR Outreach Society.

    Why do people have to be such dicks? “We’ll bulldoze everything” is such a dehumanizing way to handle this. Fucking hell.

      Well, we keep electing dicks, and then when they turn out to be dicks, we don’t threaten to burn their lives to the ground, like they clearly feel is ok to do to others. So, they get rewarded for it, and incur very little risk in the process.
