It was not a sanctuary for the homeless - it was a supermarket for dealers.
A church in downtown Regina has fenced off its property, blocking access to those who had long sought sanctuary on the front steps. The church says the risk of fire was too great to allow the homeless to remain there. https://t.co/pyLuoCi5Q0
