Two universities have successfully obtained summary possession orders against pro-Palestinian encampments on their campuses, signaling a legal victory that could lead to the forcible removal of protesters by bailiffs if they do not voluntarily leave. The encampments, which have been a presence at the University of Ottawa and McGill University in Montreal for months, have been the subject of controversy and legal action. At the University of Ottawa, protesters voluntarily dismantled their encampment after two months, while at McGill University, the dismantling process involved a significant police presence in riot gear. These actions highlight the ongoing tensions and complex legal challenges surrounding campus protests and the expression of political views in academic settings.
