Clearing Homeless Encampments - a podcast by TVO | Steve Paikin

Tensions flared in Trinity Bellwoods this week, as a large police and security presence descended on the downtown Toronto park to dismantle a homeless encampment. Protesters and advocates have criticized the action as overblown and damaging, while Toronto Mayor John Tory maintains the evictions were "reasonable, firm but compassionate." We hear both sides of the story from City Councillor Michael Thompson, outreach worker Lorraine Lam and sociologist Joe Hermer.
