Those flimsy wires could run maybe 2-3 heaters before melting. He was not "helping the community" he was making his own tent warm to sell drugs to the addicts. What A Hero!

Why is this News? A generator is being used and not any illegal electrical connections. Let them have electricity with the generator because seriously salaries are low, rental sky high and food prices keep rising. Let them have their electrical needs through a generator
It illegal to dig holes n bury a generator? I understand stealing electricity. One day someone like this is gonna use his smarts for far more sinister reasons. Not giving them no choice.
They don’t want that because they can’t do as many drugs as they want in that scenario. This has been shown over and over again, and yet libs still are under the delusion that this isn’t the case.
Im guessing by "generator" they are meaning one of those battery units like an Ecoflow/Bluetti/Jackery or something. Run stuff in the camp off that during the day. Then at night when the power comes on for the light poll it charges the battery back up.
Why did the *_Canadian_* constable say "7 feet deep", and not "just over 2 metres"? 🤔 I lived in Canada for most of 1989, and in grade 7, we used the metric system.
Maybe for the encampment, the city should supply extension cords and a way to plug them in? It would be safer and give the homeless a way to try and stay warm. It would also help the homeless to feel as if they are a part of the larger community? No matter where the city pushes them they're going to be there anyway.

@@StephenRoss-po1rp I'm glad someone else saw that! Run more than 2-3 heaters on those thin wires & they'd start to melt. Creating a potentially lethal situation for passers-by.
If they were stealing the power from the light pole, why would any generator be involved? It would render zero need for a generator.

Still a strange setup.

these news readers wouldn't know a generator from a popcorn popper. probably a ac-dc converter or something to charge their batteries.
I believe the generator was there on its own independant of this endeavour..
1000 cars were stolen during the bust of this tent
Hers wasn’t so that’s alright
i like how tent cities are becoming common all over the western world. really takes me back to 40000BC.
Oh, you don't have to go back to 40000BC. Hobos and hobo encampments were more common up until WW2.
😂

It's sad that anyone finds this shocking. When the rent alone in Hamilton for even a dump apartment is outrageously high.
and drug addiction combined with mental illness has nothing to do with the situation? its all about rent increases? nope!
That aint it. These camps are FULL of alkies and junkies. Choices kiddo...

That was the least of the perpetrator's problems as he was a criminal with priors.

Time re-open the mental hospitals.
"Concealing" , says noone who ever ran a generator. hint, they are very loud.

If they were stealing power from a light post it would be an electric/solar generator not a noisy gas generator.
It was probably a collection of high-capacity ac outlet power banks.

They prefer to live in tents. Any other tax funded accommodations is unviable because you can’t do drugs while staying there.
Instead of sympathy they need some accountability for their actions.

Height of ignorant reporting: what purpose does a generator connected to live wire serve?
It would have been an electric/solar generator with a built in battery
It sounds like they were helping Hamilton by adding power into the grid!
The homeless will do what ever they have to survive. So don't be surprised.
The person that built this is a survivor, he should have a great job, genius and resourceful.
