Hello Goodbye Lines segment host Savanna Craig discusses her reporting from the three encampments in Montreal. She discusses the UQAM encampment, which has closed since the last Metropolis episode, as the UQAM administration and campers came to an agreement. She also addresses recent developments at the McGill encampment, including how a photo used to promote a summer youth program at the encampment caused outrage from politicians and the process of the injunction McGill University is seeking in the courts to dismantle the encampment. The newest encampment, Al-Soumoud encampment, was set up this past weekend. Kalden and Savanna discuss how the location of this encampment was used for another encampment in 2011.
