they’ve been doing this for years now, i don’t live in Vancouver anymore but I used to live close to English Bay and they would use ATVs and low flying helicopters to clear the beach in the spring and summer after 10 pm. back then (2021/2022) it was in the name of covid safety even after BC had abandoned even the slightest hint of public safety measures so im not surprised they’ve cooked up another reason to use extremely disproportionate responses to resolve the issue of checks notes people at the beach at night

I’d love to know too. This picture could be of a totally unrelated police action.

Yeah, is there a source on this? The tweet just has a photo and I don’t have twitter so I can’t tell if there’s anything in the comments.
