This is the second time this year that police in Canada have sought to send a journalist to jail for doing their job

Did you even read the article?

The 27-year-old journalist was arrested on April 15 while covering a sit-in at the Scotiabank on McGill College Ave

Furthermore

the protesters, processed in a room provided by Scotiabank (typically arrestees are taken to a police station for processing, but, in an unusual move, the bank offered police the use of their offices)

This didn’t happen at a university. It happened at the bank, specifically protesting the bank itself for its unethical investments.

Did you read the article? Your own quote says the branch is on campus.

First you need to start working on your reading comprehension, second if you’re gonna be so freaking wrong maybe you should done down the condescension, third even if you were right that the bank was on campus, it would still have happened on bank property.

The branch is on McGill AVENUE not on McGill CAMPUS.

Let me give you one final hint from the article so you can further practice your reading comprehension:

Craig was tipped off about an action taking place at the Scotiabank across from McGill University on April 15.

You see the part that says ACROSS FROM? It means “in front of”, not “on”.

Well, shit. In my defense, is it my fault Montreal recycled such a distinctive name for a street that isn’t even on campus?

They do that everywhere, stop being a baby
