He used violence against the protesters. He's lucky they are answering with vandalism and not violence against his person.

Something is off here actually. The police showed up when soil got dumped on his front steps, but they didn't bother to investigate the soil dumping of the memorial.

Okay, so someone's private home (or even the public space immediately adjacent to a private home) is different from a more public place like a landfill. Even so, bad optics for the provincial gov't .. again ...

Jurisdiction here is city or RCMP, probably. Granted the RCMP are hired by the province to police, but still.

Ah, okay. Yeah, different jurisdiction (and thus different police departments with slightly different operating rules) makes more sense in this context.
