In case you're wondering whether we are okay here in the US, we're not. “They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets.” This is the level of discourse at our #PresidentialDebate2024.

“One lesson stands out above all others: when we fight, we win!" After a months-long strike, @AMPL/AMPD has an agreement with McGill whereby the challenges to AMPL's certification and the unionization of other faculties will be dropped. Read our statement: caut.ca/latest/2024/10…

Education profs knew what was at stake when we supported @AMPL/AMPD on the picket line the first time they went on strike back in February. We are stronger together.

“A university? Why no! We’re a Speciversity!” It’s like that satiric episode on “The Great Eastern” so many years ago.

highly recommend not using ChatGPT at all, since the servers that power it use more electricity than major cities, it's been known to recommend eating glue and smoking multiple cigarettes a day, and you could simply use your wonderful brains to read and study things on your own.
