Montreal's Universities McGill, Concordia, UQaM, UdeM, and the college Dawson are organizing another joint protest on Wednesday October 25th 2023 at 1:30PM on all their campuses, in response to pushback from administration.
Their demands, from both Canadian government and their Universities.
1) To disinvest from weapons manufacturers that support the Israeli genocide on Ghazzah. (Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, and others.)
2) To stand for the immediate end to the siege on Ghazzah and the American and Canadian financing of Israel.
3) To cease the exchange programs of Israeli Universities and to cut all ties with zionist donators.

"Hand of God"
Can you see the shape of a hand in this new X-ray image?
The hand might look like an X-ray from the doctor's office, but it is actually a cloud of material ejected from a star that exploded.
NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has imaged the structure in high-energy X-rays for the first time, shown in blue.

"Trans rights advocates stormed into a talk Tuesday afternoon at McGill University led by a speaker associated with a group they say is "notoriously transphobic and trans-exclusionary."
The talk was ultimately cancelled shortly after it started.
McGill University's Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism (CHRLP) hosted the event, titled Sex vs. Gender (Identity) Debate In the United Kingdom and the Divorce of LGB from T. It was led by McGill alumnus Robert Wintemute.
The CHRLP's website describes the event as a conversation around whether the law should make it easier for a transgender person to change their legal sex, "and about exceptional situations, such as women-only spaces and sports, in which the individual's birth sex should take priority over their gender identity, regardless of their legal sex."
"The T (trans) is so much more vulnerable than the rest of LGB. I think there's tons of scientific evidence speaking to that," said Celeste Trianon, a trans activist who led the protest against the event.
Trianon said Wintemute's talk excludes transgender people's rights and is transphobic, further discriminating against the community."
