Axes, screwdriver... Y'know. Stuff you might need when camping.

I get the fear of counter protests escalating things, but to my knowledge that hasn't actually happened at any university, until the cops show up.

So you brought in the army to do your job, of kickin' in doors and swinging their clubs

I'm not surprised that this was the reaction in Alberta, though. Somehow, I think there's going to be hell to pay for the heavy handed approach the U of A and U of C took, through litigation or otherwise.

Further, the universities shot themselves in the foot and pretty much took away the option of any future protests being peaceful.

What a bunch of bozos

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

At least one political party is bothering to defend these people.

They may need to rename The Progress Report at this rate….
