From tomorrow, it will be strictly illegal for anyone to spend the night in a park in Ville-Marie. Points are made about how unfair this is to homeless folks who can't stand the shelters, but the borough seems to be determined. On the other hand, the police know the futility of ticketing people who have no money.

(I had to look up Place de la Paix. It's the little square on Saint-Laurent just north of René-Lévesque.)
