Will cities like Montréal pay attention and make the necessary changes and improvements?

I don't typically follow this lawfare stuff. Whether I like a protest or not is politically irrelevant. This one is different.
McGill was fucking brutal. Physical. Gross. Scary.
Also famously the place where a professor yelled go back to Poland.
"A #Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class action alleging #McGillUniversity failed to adequately protect #Jewish #students from #antisemitism, harassment and intimidation on campus following the #Oct7, 2023, #Hamas attack on #Israel.
The #lawsuit was brought by #DavidCobrin, who was a #McGill #undergraduate when the events described in the case began, and covers Jewish students registered at the #university between Oct. 8, 2023, and the publication of an official notice of the ruling. The plaintiffs are seeking reimbursement of 33 per cent of tuition and student fees, along with $5 million in collective #punitivedamages. The ruling allows those claims to proceed but does not determine whether McGill is liable."

Cities are rife with ultrafine particles (UFPs) from vehicle #emissions.
Research at #McGill shows how #EV adoption, retiring older #diesel trucks, and reducing #traffic could avert more than 3,600 premature deaths in #Montreal and #Toronto by 2040.

"Later, it would be discovered that she was unknowingly enrolled in the secret CIA research program now known as MK Ultra, where she was the victim of brainwashing experiments at the hands of Dr. Ewen Cameron. She was injected with LSD and forced to listen to Cameron’s voice on tape for hours."

> McGill University in Quebec has denied gender-affirming care to at least two trans American students since March, when the school adopted a preemptive policy denying hormone replacement therapy over fears the Trump administration would retaliate, two sources say.

Kansas has been represented exclusively by Republicans in the US Senate for 87 years.
The most recent Democrat to represent Kansas in the US Senate was George McGill, who served from Dec. 1930 to Jan. 1939.McGill was elected to the US Senate in 1930 and 1932.
That means it has been 94 years since Kansas elected a Democrat to the US Senate.
McGill lost reelection in 1938.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_McGill_(Kansas_politician)

'I Smell Burnt Toast': Mapping the Human Brain
Dr. Wilder Penfield, a neurosurgeon at McGill University, changed our understanding of the human brain. By electrically stimulating the brains of conscious patients during surgery (who reported sensations like smelling burnt toast), he created functional maps of the brain's cortices. His 'Montreal Procedure' for treating epilepsy is still used today. #Canada #Neuroscience #McGill #MedicalHistory 🇨🇦

🧠🌲 Researchers from #McGill University reviewed over 100 brain-imaging studies to explain how natural patterns like #fractals ease sensory load and quiet the amygdala.
This process shifts the #brain out of fight-or-flight mode and restores task-driven attention that is often fatigued by digital screens.

Legault's legacy of making Anglos feel unwelcome in their own province
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/legaults-legacy-of-making-anglos-feel-unwelcome-in-their-own-provinceI think of this as the "hassle the anglos" strategy: the #CAQ would periodically show how much they cared about protecting French by creating new difficulties for anglo-Quebeckers.
As if the presence of #McGill in #Montréal, for instance, isn't an advantage for Quebeckers overall...

I'm reading Shock Doctrine and it shouldn't be surprising, I suppose, that students and others who sought medical care were tortured at #McGill University.
The revered institutions of western elitism all seem to be full of skeletons in the closet.

New book on the history of McGill University - written and edited by historians, not the university's comms department. I wrote a chapter on how Indigenous dispossession and colonial politicians saved McGill when it was in danger of going broke. Others cover McGill's ties to chattel slavery, Japanese exclusion, research of various sorts, student lives, queer experiences, and more.
