“Canada is one of the richest, most beautiful countries around,” Mr Goodsell said. “We have so much land, so much resource, but we must be one of the greediest countries out there.”
Actually, Canadian courts seem to have it right while SCOTUS got it wrong. Living on public land is no crime, if that's what is available.
"Although several Canadian cities, including Halifax, have tried to remove homeless encampments in the past, recent court decisions in British Columbia and Ontario have ruled that people without homes can camp outside if there are no appropriate indoor shelters available.
In contrast, the US Supreme Court ruled in June that cities can fine and arrest homeless people, even if there is no shelter for them to go to, paving the way for the outright bans on encampments in California and Oregon."
What says the Nova Scotian, @Very-Rusty?

@spruce112358 saidMore like greedy Americans. I think in most parts of the world especially where there is an abundance of unused and mostly useless state land, people turn a blind eye to squatters. In fact in this tiny island, squatters cannot be removed after a number of yrs of squatting have passed.

@Rajk999 saidGiven that humans evolved under this planet's ecosystems, there is no reasonable argument to letting humans destroy more than 50% of them. 😆

50% of every ecosystem in the world should be "state-owned" and completely off-limits to changes through human exploitation.
But living on a piece of land in a tent does not exploit or change that ecosystem.

@spruce112358 saidHumans currently occupy about 15% of the worlds landarea, so destroying 50% of the worlds ecesystems is nor possible.

There are dramaqueen environmentalists out there claiming that 99% of the world is destroyed but nobody in their right mind will believe such nonsense.
Homeless people should have the right to settle in any reasonable state land.

@spruce112358 saidLiving anywhere changes the ecosystem, what happens to waste etc? Things build up, normal thing like where to go to the toilet. Living in a tent, where do you poo? How do you prepare food?

Here in the UK homeless citizens get left on the streets, including veterans.
However if you come over on a Macron sponsored dingy you get free hotel accommodation, priority private healthcare and dentistry and some spending cash. It’s only costing the taxpayers £8,000,000,000 a year and rising.
Happy days.
@spruce112358 saidThe reason for the removal of Tents is because winter is coming and where the tents were and some still are located is where the snowplows will be plowing the snow, they don't want anyone killed because they are inside a tent and get buried in snow from the Snowplow.

The have had a bunch of small house like places built which are small but would keep people warm, many have moved into them but others for reasons only they know refuse to do so. These places are heated and have electricity There are places they could go to, but don't want to follow the rules and times to be in and no drugs, now I can personally see why it would be hard for addict, but much better than freezing to death outside.
This issues is still being worked on and thankfully no snow yet, but it is coming soon. They can't be forced inside, but they can't endanger themselves either. So arrangements are still trying to be made at this time. There is also the issue as was mentioned where do they go to have a bowel movement or urinate? Those little one room house like pallets have a washroom in them, and place to cook food, and the biggest thing of all Shelter from the cold bitter winters we have here.
