Edmonton homeless encampment legal battle in court, emergency injunction extended

A legal battle over homeless encampments between a human rights group and the City of Edmonton returned to court, where the judge ordered the extension of an emergency injunction to next Tuesday. As Morgan Black explains, the Coalition for Justice and Human Rights argues dismantling camps violate the Charter rights of people who need shelter, while the city says the sites aren’t safe and there’s enough shelter space to house those displaced.
