Sam Watts, CEO of Welcome Hall Mission, says the "cruel and unusual" tactic by the mall displaces the problem of homelessness rather than address it.

A Montreal shopping mall is under fire for playing ‘Baby Shark’ on repeat to prevent homeless people from loitering in stairwells.

A shopping mall and office complex in downtown Montreal is being criticized for using the popular children's song "Baby Shark" to discourage unhoused people from loitering in its emergency exit stairwells.

The Complexe Desjardins mall in downtown Montreal has been playing the song in its garage and stairwells to deter what they call unwelcome guests. It’s a move that has drawn criticism from advocates for unhoused people as well as the city.

The non-stop drone of "doo, doo, doo doo" from the song Baby Shark in the fire escapes has been an success at keeping people from loitering out, the mall says.
