Palestine on Campus: the Student Movement in Montreal Schools Since the first student encampment in solidarity with Palestine went up at McGill University last year, the student movement has only grown, organizing and diversifying tactics to pressure schools to divest academically and financially from Israel. In Palestine on Campus, The Rover’s Savannah Stewart and Justin Khan look back on the events of the last school year at McGill, Concordia and Dawson College, revealing how pro-Palestinian activism has raised tensions between university administrations and their student bodies and been the target of pushback from a variety of sources. Our investigation highlights an apparent lack of communication between university administrations and the student movement for Palestine, which enjoys broad support among the student body as evidenced by incredibly successful strike votes and divestment votes at both universities. In the absence of a meaningful reconciliation between the goals of the administrations and the demands of the students, we hope this documentary can help initiate the necessary conversations to chart a path forward. — Find in-depth investigative journalism, political commentary, podcast episodes and more at https://therover.ca/ Don’t miss out!

If Canada wants to lean all in on their Made in Canada bullshit they should bring back CBC Radio 3

I’m concerned by all the posts I’m seeing that argue we need to choose between fighting for Canadian sovereignty and fighting for equity-deserving groups.

These are Canadian values — this is literally what we are defending.

It’s not one or the other. We need to do both.
