McGill closes Roddick Gates
McGill’s Roddick Gates usually stand open, but Friday they closed to keep two groups of protesters apart.
The Gazette’s headline Friday made me laugh out loud: Pro-Palestinian encampment at McGill enters Day 7 with no settlement in sight. As if the long crisis that stems from the British giving away a piece of land that didn’t belong to them will be “settled” on the playing fields of McGill.
CBC radio at noon says there are more police Friday afternoon, but this is partly because there’s also a housing protest going on outside François Legault’s office, across from the gates on Sherbrooke Street.
Can Legault be keen on shutting down the McGill camp mostly because his office is nearby?
