Montreal, May 09, 2024 — The Anti-Racism Program of the CJPME Foundation (ARPCF) is expressing deep concern over Ontario Premier Doug Ford's recent statements regarding pro-Palestinian protests, highlighting what appears to be a discriminatory double standard. Premier Ford has previously affirmed that protests are an integral part of Canada’s democratic society. However, his specific criticisms of pro-Palestinian encampments in Ontario suggest these protests are particularly problematic, characterizing them as uniquely hateful and disruptive.

Statement from MP Salma Zahid on Student Protests on University Campuses Across Canada

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

A coalition of Montreal student groups in support of Palestine have started their indefinite encampment at McGill University.

On Monday April 29th students at University of Ottawa (UOttawa) began hosting a sit-in to occupy Tabaret lawn for the Popular University of Gaza, standing in solidarity with people in Gaza who have undergone 200+ days of Genocide under the brutal occupation and with Universities across North America rising up against the ongoing genocide.

The recent violent crackdowns on pro-Palestinian encampments on campuses across the United States have reignited a long debate about the role of law enforcement on university grounds.
