Published Wednesday, May 19, 2021 1:31PM EDT TORONTO - Tensions flared at a homeless encampment in Toronto on Wednesday as city officials, flanked by dozens of police officers, moved in to clear the site. Residents and their supporters shouted at police, who in turn threatened many with arrest. At least three activists were handcuffed and three dwellings were dismantled outside Lamport Stadium before officials moved out, leaving about two dozen living structures in place. Scottie Bailey Kelly was among those living at the encampment who did not want to leave when ordered to do so on Wednesday. “This is freedom, there is love here,” said Bailey Kelly, who has lived at the site for four months. “I m going to miss my new friends here. I don t have family, they ve become my family.”
