This is the best summary I could come up with:
A patchwork of colourful tarps covered dozens of tents at a pro-Palestinian encampment at McGill University's downtown campus on Sunday, shielding protesters from both the heavy rain and prying eyes.
More than a week after the first Canadian pro-Palestinian campus encampment began in Montreal, organizers at McGill said they've become better prepared for the days to follow, thanks to donated materials and community support.
Protester Ari Nahman said Sunday that the Montreal encampment has become a "tiny city" complete with dozens of rainproof tents, a library, a stockpile of donated supplies and makeshift wooden sidewalks to keep the mud at bay.
Nahman, a student at Concordia University, said morale is high at the camp, despite several days of rain that have turned McGill's lower field into a slippery mess at times.
Nahman said that as of Sunday morning, the encampment has received a large number of donations including power banks, arts and crafts supplies, blankets, tents, tarps, ponchos, pallets, and "so much food."
Both McGill and Quebec Premier François Legault have described the Montreal encampment as illegal and have asked police to help dismantle the tents — though as of Sunday the force had not complied with the request.
