Homelessness: Testing the Canadian Constitution
I've seen tent cities in many places and the cops come in and bust everyone. Here's something homelessness advocates should watch.
The topic is " Pitching the Camping Case " and is the third article for today. Fight The Power luceo no uro |

Homelessness: Testing the Canadian Constitution
Here's a story that doesn't go far enough...
http://archive.peacemagazine.org/v03n3p08.htm In the 1980's there was a "Peace Camp" on Parliment Hill protesting Canada's compliance in allowing the USA to test cruise missiles in Alberta. There was the usual threats, arrests and all that shit, but in the end the Supreme Court of Canada ruled it's legal to camp on crown land in protest. I will try to seek out actual proof of this. So if you're an activist it's legal, but if homeless it's not? [edit] More here..... http://archive.peacemagazine.org/v01n4p05.htm Maybe I'm wrong but I could swear my memory says the Supreme's okayed it....must've.... they lasted 2 years there. On another note, try camping two seconds in The Land of the FREE on the whitehouse lawn. |
