Global News at 5:30, Montreal: June 27

Following countless complaints, police on Thursday dismantled an encampment of people living on the streets in Chinatown. Area residents say they don’t feel safe in their neighbourhood, but community workers say clearing the encampment won’t make the problem go away. And several Montreal-based and province-wide tenant rights and mental health groups are sounding the alarm less than one week before moving day. The groups claim that evictions are currently the number one cause of homelessness in Quebec. They are calling for urgent action by the government.
