It would have been interesting to see how this judge would have ruled had he been asked for an injunction against the Ottawa trucker protest two years ago. My guess is that he would have meted out a harsh punishment for such counter-revolutionary activity.
A Quebec Superior Court judge has rejected a provisional injunction request by McGill University to remove pro-Palestinian encampment activists from its front lawn in downtown Montreal.
St-Pierre opened his ruling by saying that the injunction request comes amid a wave of pro-Palestinian encampments on university campuses across North America connected to the events in the Gaza Strip, where “dozens of thousands of Palestinians are dead, injured or displaced by the Israeli army.”
Haha, that’s a funny take.
Personal freedom, bad. Responsibility for actions, bad. Hearing opinions that disagree with yours, bad. Violently supporting The Thing of this week, good. This judge is consistent with this “worldview”(=copout).
Justice is supposed to be blind, not scrolling through twitter looking for the most trendy victim class.
The judge revealed his bias right off the bat. Should be removed from the bench.
Just one more Jew hating quebecker.
They are camped on the “front lawn”?
It must need constant watering.
Oh, I’m sure it’s getting watered, but not in a good way.
Speaking of which … my town has a tiny little park in the middle of town. It’s almost all lawn area, with a trellis and stone seat walls surrounding it. They just had an Earth Day celebration that occupied the lawn with sciency booths and whatnot. When was Earth Day? Apr. 22? I believe the “festival” was on 4-20 … well … they’ve had to fence-off the lawn ever since (it’s still fenced off on 5-15). It seems that loving the earth is bad for the lawns. And protesting against the Jews is bad for lawns too.
Why do you need an injunction to clear private property of trespassers?
RNrn
Because the police won’t do it unless the courts order them to, lest the trespassers complain to the courts, who will in such cases tend to side with the complaining trespassers just because the police didn’t ask first.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, Dennis.
back in the protest movement 60s when cbc was the only source for some of us,a news story. some unpopular speaker on vietnam war or whatever the grievance of the day was, wasnt allowed to speak at mcgill. shouted down in the meeting hall. mcgill u. late 60s.
lOOks like the little darling mouthpieces still at it, CALLING THE SHOTS.
we are in liberal and Liberal times. brought down on our own heads by the blindly loyal hard core francophone trudeamaniacs.
all the braying and knashing of teeth, be assured if they turn out in great numbers AND the pacifist meek mannered Canaduhians refuse to do so because their vote doesnt make any difference we could wind up with FIVE MORE YEARS OF THE TURDeau.
The good is that those Uni students who find it a big annoyance will hopefully look at the world in a different way when they graduate.
McGill is full of smart people eh? Why didn’t they just mention all the signs are in English and breaking Quebec law?
In a sane world, McGill would have the right to administer its own property as it sees fit. Is there a higher court to which they may appeal this miscreant judge’s ruling?
A statement by the judge, cited in the article…”there would be reason to consider an evolution of the right to the freedom of expression to include peaceful occupation … given in particular that this is now commonplace,”…
If lawbreaking becomes common, does it therefore become legal?
This is an absurd situation, pro-longed by an apparently pro-crime judge.
appointed by the Liberals…..
big shocker.
Sure might be an activist judge. Might even be a jew hater. What I smell is what the islamofacists count on with their increasing critical mass: a person scared of them camping on his front lawn….or worse. Much worse.
What kind of dork says, “dozens of thousands…”?
(It’s just like “tens of thousands”, but with now with 20 percent MOAR!!!)
