Quote from: 18hammers on Jan 11, 2024, 10:07 PMEdmonton's finest have been out tossing the homeless out of their tents in -36 C weather. Didn't do it when the weather was mild, no waited until - 40 is in the forecast then thought it a good time to tear down the only shelters these folks have. Largely natives getting the boot and told to move on. They are good sports about it though, seemingly cooperative. In their position I would be looking to bury a blade in someone taking my only shelter in -40 weather. What kind of cop can do that? I just hate people!I lived on and off in Edmonton for a year, back in the early 90's. Spent more than a little time in Calgary as well, although usually just downtown, with the wife or daughter. While the presence of homeless was not uncommon, they seemed to have places to stay that didn't involve tents or the kind of homelessness condition so common in America now. Has something happened or changed in the urban homeless situation in general or government treatment of them in the last quarter century? You die pretty quickly at -40C without substantially protection, I've still got some wonderful RCMP and Canadian military surplus gear I keep around for emergency gear in the car during winter. Running folks out into that kind of weather absolutely can be lethal, and Canadians never struck me as individually cruel like many Americans.
