Nope, the protests have not led to the arrests. The arrests are the result of concerted decisions by administrators across campuses. Nothing natural or inevitable about the arrest of non-violent protestors.

I am concerned by news of the “cleanup” of the #CrabPark encampment in #Vancouver. I urge the @ParkBoard to pause and work in good faith with encampment residents on an approach that upholds their dignity, protects their belongings, and respects their security & human rights. –MJ
Exactly four months ago, children in Gaza held a press conference in english to beg the world to stop the bombardment. Almost 15,000 children have been killed since then. No one listened.
"Encampments expose our failure to act on homelessness by making it visible." An urgent call from Canada’s Federal Housing Advocate for a human rights-based approach to homelessness rooted in dignity, respect, and the participation of those most affected.

The City of Vancouver decamped unhoused people and forcibly took away their belongings in the coldest week of the winter. Folks have nowhere to go, as modular housing sits empty. There is no plan. The Mayor of Vancouver is silent. This is "#IGMFY Swagger" at its most shameful.

Wait let me get this straight: 100 students were arrested because the uni claimed they had yelled “kill the Jews”. Then it turns out the student who yelled that was holding an Israeli flag, trying to unsuccessfully bait the crowd and was booed in return thedailybeast.com/pro-israel-agi…
It was a Zionist protester who said kill the Jews, mocking Palestinians standing against Israeli genocide. There is literal video of it. Unless you can provide evidence of this claim, retract it, apologize, and regardless: divest from Israeli apartheid and genocide

With Raz Segal at the UPenn encampment on April 26. Warm and open conversation about the perils of antisemitism and of its current weaponization.
Today, BC gov announced they're making public drug use illegal. Public use has not increased because of decrim. People use outside for lack of alternatives. We've been calling for more OPSs, treatment & housing for 25 yrs. If we'd been listened to, there'd be no issue today.
Government are in the midst of a housing and affordability crisis. Rather than fix it, they wanna scapegoat drug users. Whether it's street sweeps, decampments or bans on public drug use, this is all about that old desire to ban poor people from sight.
Vindicated in court of law and in the court of public opinion. I hope Umar Zameer can begin to rebuild his life. Congratulations to all involved in his defence.

Justice achieved for an innocent man. Could not be more relieved for Zameer. Could not be prouder of my brilliant colleagues @Nader_Hasan_law & @alexheine93 @stockwoodsllp
I want to thank Canadians across the country for their words of support for the Zameer family these past few weeks.
@cmcdonaldglobal: “What message do you think this gives to police officers, especially those in plainclothes?” @Nader_Hasan_law: “#1 don’t lie when you’re in court testifying under oath. Don’t commit perjury, and don’t put up witnesses who commit perjury…” Mr. Hasan is 1 of 1.
@mrsmeaghangray @TPSMyronDemkiw @TPAReid Nadar Hasan is now taking a few questions. Says this case should have never gone to trial.
Hoping my fantastic colleagues @Nader_Hasan_law and @alexheine93 are able to recover at least 2 inches of intestine after a long wait for the jury on this important case for the rule of law. For now, I think this is a pretty good front page.
Shout-out to @alexheine93. Couldn’t have asked for a better co-counsel on this one. If you don’t know her, now you do.
I’m gonna say that I knew @alexheine93 and @Nader_Hasan_law before they were famous. Just don’t ask them to confirm. ;) So many lessons to learn from them. But at the top is how to litigate and win with class. Rest easy tonight. You did good work.
Nadar, now everyone knows what we all already do - that you are an absolute mensch. It’s beautiful to see a moment that is usually deeply private expose the heart of the relationship between a defence lawyer and their client. This is why we do it.

A day of unimaginable relief for an innocent man, and no doubt elation for his superb defence counsel @Nader_Hasan_law. But for those braying for more stringent bail, the details of the Zameer case, and the now public bail jmt, should give them cause for reflection and shame.
In honour of the jury acquittal in the Umar Zameer case, I'll reshare a Twitter exchange from when he was granted bail. To all those who responded with an attack & assumed someone was guilty simply because an officer died, I look forward to your mea culpa!
“Don’t lie. Don’t commit perjury. Don’t put up witnesses who lie.” Some lessons for police out of this case says @Nader_Hasan_law Courageous and principled defence to be contrasted here with the approach taken by the prosecution, given the evidence. A proud day for us all.

God bless @Nader_Hasan_law for speaking truth to power. And for his calm, principled, and committed representation of his client who deserved the best defence and got it.

The chief should resign or be fired.
Chief Demkiw: “While we respect the judicial process and appreciate the work of the 12 citizens who sat on a very difficult case, I share the feelings of our members who were hoping for a different outcome.”
Not all heroes wear capes; some of them wear barristers robes! Beyond proud of my colleagues @Nader_Hasan_law and @alexheine93

And ask yourselves this: if they were willing to do it in such a high profile case - where they no doubt knew there was reliable evidence that would prove their evidence untrue - how often does it happen in courtrooms every day? We’ve been trying to tell you.
Toronto Police officers appear to have lied on the stand to try and get a man wrongly convicted of murder. Feels like we have to talk about it now.

@TPSMyronDemkiw @TPAReid As the Chief was leaving, he was asked if he would address allegations of perjury and collision in the testimony. The chief replied “today’s not the day for that. We will talk later.”
H/T @Nader_Hasan_law and @alexheine93. It is very inspirational to hear a client speak in so much admiration of the legal representation provided. Nuggets like this motivate many of us in the Bar to keep on keeping on in our client work.
