[news] Victoria Cops Seize Shopping Carts from Homeless

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

In the past few weeks, Victoria police have been cracking down on street people who use shopping carts to push their worldly possessions around town. Some, like Roman Witowsky, who works with Victoria's disadvantaged at Our Place street drop-in centre, thinks the crackdown is pretty harsh..."Without their carts, a lot of them would be pretty well lost. A lot of people aren't on welfare. What they make off collecting bottles or rummaging through bins gives them a chance to make some money to buy some smokes or food."
