This is the best summary I could come up with:
McGill University, the site of the country’s largest protest camp, has requested police intervention, but as of Friday no action had been taken to remove the demonstrators.
Earlier in the week, a Quebec court rejected an injunction request from two students to move the camp to a different location.
The students told the court the current location of the protest interferes with their ability to safely attend class.
In her ruling, Justice Chantale Masse said the students failed to show “irreparable harm” and that to remove the protesters would “significantly” affect their right to freedom of expression.
On Thursday, counter-demonstrators waving Israeli flags faced off against the encampment, separated by a line of police.
On Thursday morning, students at the University of Toronto breached a fenced-off area of the campus and erected dozens of tents, disregarding a warning from the school earlier in the week that any camp would be seen as “trespassing”.
