Tent city on Prince Philip Drive is shrinking but that doesn’t mean everyone has adequate housing. Today, I saw the conditions of one shelter placement. The landlord told the tenant in a heated exchange, “I'm keeping you safe until you find a month to month rental."

On what’s supposed to be Budget Day, fish & harvester protestors have all entrances to Confederation Building blocked off. As I approached, I was told to “go to the mall. Take the day off.”

Today, I cried with those at tent city. Three couples have homes. The rest are empowered because their fight is working. “It could be us next.”
Tonight, three couples who had been living in tents in St. John's have a roof over their heads. Read: 'This is a new beginning for us': Friday the 13th ended up being lucky for three couples living in tent city
