Several media outlets are reporting on the conversation between members of Halifax Regional Council and the Chief Administrative Officer prior to the eviction of homeless people around HRM last summer. The details show that they were discussing the need to keep the details from service providers and the public ahead of the actions planned for August 18th. That day saw two dozen people arrested at the old Halifax Library location when they tried to stop police from dismantling the temporary shelters and tents that were there. The structures were built and donated by a group called Halifax Mutual Aid (HMA). Campbell McClintock is a member of that group and he describes his reaction to this news and his thoughts on what some councillors were saying publicly while we learned what was happening behind the scenes.
