Your assumption is not evidence.
Trespass laws exist everywhere in Canada. If you think trespass laws don't apply for university encampments the burden is on you to cite the law or case law saying otherwise.
And so we get back to the topical question:
How do you reconcile all this with the fact that cops used batons on peaceful protesters?
You're making the unbacked assumption that these protesters were peaceful. The cops allege the protesters were throwing objects at them, and one was arrested for assaulting a cop, which you continually ignore. If they charged the protester, or a protester sues or charges the cops, then the courts will go through the evidence. We aren't going to know the truth from watching edited 15 second clips on twitter. But you don't seem interested in the truth or justice, your goal is to push a narrative that makes the protesters out to be victims and the state out to be violent oppressors while ignoring or denying everything that runs counter to this.
I'm not going to respond to anything else about the police action against the protestors until some kind of trial reveals all the evidence because it's totally pointless and filled with assumptions and lack of knowledge of all the facts, so please stop asking me questions about these events which you or I don't know the answers to.
The Ottawa trucker convoy were allowed to just park in the street and set up encampments and other temporary infrastructure
No they weren't, the cops committed all sorts of violence against them, including police horses trampling them. The government also froze their bank accounts and applied the Emergencies Act on them in order to remove their Charter rights.
They were also caught without any identification or badge number on their uniform which is alo illegal since it prevents accountability.
If that's true then those cops should be fired at a minimum.
