McGill beaten to the injunction gate by two students. I'm sure enforcing any order will go smoothly and will absolutely not catalyze shows of solidarity and support...

This comment from the BC Conservative candidate is racism not seen in the legislature in 20 years. For one it's *entirely* false. But more importantly, it's a recipe for conflict that will literally destroy BC's economy.

on this day, meet the sanest university president, Michael S Roth - Wesleyan University is lucky to have him

If McGill University's acknowledgment of being on unceded Kanien'kehá:ka territory is sincere, then it should honor the permission granted to the students by my community and nation.

The president of the local labour council is concerned for workers in Chemical Valley and Aamjiwnaang residents. “We feel that Aamjiwnaang is entirely warranted in calling for the shutdown of the facility to address the issue that has caused this sharp spike in emissions.'

The Anti-Defamation League wants you to believe that these elderly Jews—arrested in Brooklyn Tuesday night at the Jewish Voice for Peace 'Emergency Seder in the Streets'—are Iranian operatives

Words fail me to describe how offensive this statement is to the lands and waters, and then to the many people that call Kiiwetinoong home. We should change George Pirie’s title to the Minister of Perpetuating the Violence of Resource Extraction, it would be more accurate.
