For several hours on Wednesday afternoon, hundreds of protesters and Halifax Regional Police officers faced off in a downtown street. Citizens were rallying in support of people who are living in tents and other temporary shelters on park properties. Halifax Regional Municipality started evicting people and removing their tents early in the morning. By late afternoon people were being arrested and taken to jail as the situation escalated. SaltWire Journalist Nicole Munro was there to report on the situation. And she and I sat down to discuss the mixed messages and the way this was handled.
