CUASA Statement on the Siege of Ottawa

CUASA roundly condemns the hatred and violence promoted over the last three weeks through the siege of Ottawa. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues, friends, and neighbours whose lives have been deeply disrupted by these events and who have been made to feel unsafe in their own communities. We call on our governments at all levels to take action immediately to secure all sites of siege encampment, secure the affected neighbourhoods and end this occupation. We will also speak with the employer about a campus safety plan that ensures the return to campus does not put any community member in harm’s way.
