Listening to a seminar on the legal implications of encampments and protesting in Canada and the world.
It's amazing to hear the different experiences from the different campuses, two of which I was at their openings.
UQAM and uWindsor are probably the two most fascinating from right across the country.
Noe discussing the breakdown between "private property" vis-à-vis your backyard or hospitals or airports.
For students in residence at the Universities, is it not effectively their backyards?
Huge back and forth on whether or not the issue with the encampments was exclusion of others.
Discussing it in context with the Freedom Convoy and whether they were in fact preventing other people from using the space in the same way.
This is a fascinating debate.
I (not a lawyer) have thought the encampment rulings need to be challenged for the sake of the future, pretty much since day one of the decision(s).
This group is a mix of specialties, including a couple of property lawyers, from Canada and the U.K. (same underlying principles).
I'm glad to be invited to listen in.
