“Celebrating the murder, the rape of innocent people attending a music festival, it’s awful,” Eby said at an unrelated news conference on Monday. In a series of messages posted on social media platform X, UBC protest organizers have asked supporters to bring tents and sandbags, as well as food, water, first aid and generators.
In a written response, UBC spokesman Matthew Ramsey said the school is monitoring the situation and keeping in contact with the RCMP.Protests must “be taken with respect for others and within the boundaries of university policy and the law,” he said.
