Homeless people living under Montreal’s Ville-Marie overpass have been given an extension on a previous eviction notice, allowing campers to stay put until the summer at least. The small yet established encampment has been the subject of an ongoing court battle involving Quebec’s transport ministry, which plans to carry out construction work in the same location.
The study was based on data obtained by the Institut de recherche et d'informations socioéconomiques through an access to information request.Federal worker strikes continued Monday in Quebec as public sector workers held picket lines all over the country amid stalled contract negotiations. Now in their second week of demonstrations, federal employees with the Public Service Alliance of Canada are asking for wage increases to combat the rising cost of living.
