"Don't cause any problems": Doug Ford sends message to pro-Palestinian protesters at universities

Asked what actions his government would take if encampments on university grounds related to pro-Palestinian protests occurred in Ontario, Premier Doug Ford responded on Tuesday that he has "all the confidence in the world" the universities' security can handle the situation. "Don't cause any problems there," he said, adding he supports students. #DougFord #Protests #UniversityProtests #CollegeProtests #Ontario

Useless answer

[@lizliz4186]

He didn't do anything about the occupation in Ottawa, why would he do anything now?

[@LLandS18]

Well, the difference is these are young liberal voters and those were old conservative voters. The occupy people were literally his base. Why would he do anything about them. They're so f****** sensitive. If you did anything they'd lose their ever loving mind. They want to go on about how the younger generation has never heard. No, I think they need to look in the mirror for that one.

@Judithica what? If you pass your driver's test and get your license, you have the legal right to now drive on our roads... Protest all you want, in front of government buildings, not block roads, intersections, and annoy your fellow citizens with constant horns, blaring music and vehicles idling for weeks on end.

There was a clear message. You might not like it, but it wasn’t a word salad

I agree, there was no substance, just don’t upset the apple cart. The question was- how would you try and help all the winers!
