Halifax Regional Police release Dartmouth suspect’s name and photo | SaltWire #news #novascotiaResidents of"tent city" are worried about their future. One man, who wished to give only his first name, Jeff, said he doesn’t know where to go if the tent encampment is taken down.

This was backed up by another person in the encampment. She goes by Katie and prefers to withhold her last name. Four tents with people’s belongings in them, and three more waiting to be fixed, were taken, he said. “You can see in the last week calling it protesters, are not really homeless, blaming them. It's just within a week we've gone to putting signs up. You can sort of see the narrative that's being created here. I'm angry. I'm angry when the minister keeps talking about options that aren't really there.”Abbott says the existing tents at tent city are unlawful. He said enforcement hasn’t begun yet, but may in the future, depending on the circumstances.
