Not only will very few of those fines be paid, but think about the costs to the municipality of enforcing the fines: Cops. Fine tracking. Jailing people who can’t pay. Court appearances. Probably more jailing as a sentence for unpaid fines. Then repeat the process again because now people experiencing homelessness have even less ability to secure housing. Maybe this can be used to justify an even more bloated police budget to keep this make-work project going. This is all to say nothing about how cruel it is to the people who are living in public spaces because they have nowhere else to go. Waterloo needs a new regional council. What a bunch of buffoons
