Could you elaborate a bit on who you think is doing this and why?
Owners of Scotiabank here specifically but really most of owners of large enterprises though
Looks like scotiabnak is materially invested but I bet most owners just shill whatever the geopolitics dictates as they want want to piss off their hosts. parasites know better.
Sorry, I'm not following. Why would Scotiabank care about protests at a university?
Did you even read the article?
Furthermore
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:
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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGill_College_Avenue
That bank doesn't care, it is a legal entity, but the owners do because they got money tied up and they use their lapdogs against people they don't like exposing them.
Anybody else hear a whistling sound?
Pathetic...
I guess it's just an innocuous coincidence that you're saying mysterious "banker" "parasites" are using their "money" and their "lapdogs" to attack a university for... unspecified reasons? in order to prevent themselves from being "exposed"?
Yes ruling elites are parasites leeching off the labour of working people, then use gained wealth to benefit themselves and drive narrative benefial to them. If peasants step out of line, they will use coercive power of the state to suppress any such "misconduct"
You got an issue with this analysis?
Everyone else: This bank is directly invested in manufactoring illegal weapons.
You: Blaming bankers for the direct obvious result of their investment sounds pretty antisemetic
"Everything I don't like is antisemitism"
