Thankfully we aren't in Vancouver where they've got a tent city set-up. Hopefully those predictions of a long cold winter come true here and those numbers should fall pretty fast.

The Constitution shouldn't stop the city from fining them or billing them for damage to the park and destruction of the outdoor bathroom facilities for example.
They're there at the suffereance of the citr of Calgary and its citizen's and they are starting to become an inconvienience. The city is also paying out of pocket for things like the increased police presence, the damage to the area and the delay in maintenance work.
