Ontario's premier called for pro-Palestinian protest encampments to move off university campuses Monday even as one Toronto university suggested it was making progress in its talks with demonstrators.
First off: @#$% off, Ford. Second, this continues a trend we've seen most prominently under the clown show that is Danielle Smith's UCP in Alberta: Provincial governments wanting to dictate municipal affairs according to their own political agenda, which I don't think is healthy for Canadian cities
You can tell that the rich and powerful are really afraid of these protests spilling over into a general dissatisfaction with the status quo.
They were, mostly, fine with the Convoy because that was a revolt of the privileged against restrictions, but this, this is more like OWS or the G20, a threat to those in charge. They know they've pushed things pretty far, disenfranchising people and squeezing them for everything their worth. They're hoping they can keep us at each others' throats and maybe benefit from a little protofascist dog-whistling, and they're really concerned that they might lose control.
I didn't realize he was actually coming out against encampments. And using the word move made me immediately think it was the same Beaverton article, but nope.
Where is the Justice Center for Consttutional Freedom? Why aren't they defending these protesters? Oh, right...they're actually just a right wing troll farm that supports white supremacists, white nationalists, racists, Diagaloons, and other assholes. They don't take on real cases of Consttutional issues.
