Inside a London courtroom Tuesday, a mischief charge against London physician Dr. Tarek Loubani was dropped.
“We knew that we were going to win this case, we were ready to fight this case straight to the end,” said Loubani, speaking with CTV News outside the courthouse on Dundas Street in London, Ont.
Nearly a year ago, Loubani, who also teaches at Western University, was arrested and charged with mischief, for spraying ketchup on the exterior of Member of Parliament Peter Fragiskatos’ office — he spent a night at the holding cells inside London Police Service Headquarters.
“What I was doing when I sprayed ketchup during this protest against genocide is a constitutionally protected right,” said Loubani.
His counsel Arash Ghiassi and Riaz Sayani, sent a statement to CTV News, in part it reads, “Members of the public have the constitutional right to protest against their elected officials. Had the charge not been withdrawn, we would have defended the case at trial on this basis, as well as on the merits.”
Loubani said they’ve been asking Fragiskatos to take a strong position against an “act of genocide.”
“He has said nothing in approximately a year. And when he did say something in December of 2023, it was to Palestinians for their own genocide,” added Loubani.
[...]
Just hours after the mischief charge was dropped, Loubani returned to Fragiskatos’ office, spraying it with ketchup once again. He expressed no concern of getting charged.

I saw the headline and thought this would just be a fun silly story, but then I read the article and found out that Tarek Loubani did this in protest of his elected official's lack of support for Palestine. Absolute king. I'm glad the charges were dropped.

A resident physician at the University of Ottawa's faculty of medicine who was suspended over pro-Palestinian social media posts says he's been reinstated but has no plans to return to the institution. Dr. Yipeng Ge, 29, was sanctioned by the university last November after it got several complaints about a series of pro-Palestinian posts he'd made, ones that included references to "apartheid" and "settler colonialism." At the time of his suspension, Ge had been a fourth-year public health and preventive medicine resident and was completing a residency at the Public Health Agency of Canada. His research has focused on Indigenous health, anti-racism and decolonization.

Butter continues to be a hot commodity in Guelph, Ont.
At least seven large-scale thefts have been reported over a 10-month period, including two hauls in just the last month.
On Oct. 12, at around 7:45 p.m., two men entered a store on Speedvale Avenue East.
“They placed a number of items in a cart – including three cases of butter with a value of $936 – and left out a receiving door,” the Guelph Police Service said in a news release.
