LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO: our comrades at mcgill and concordia universities in montreal have started a gaza solidarity encampment on mcgill's campus! from what ive been able to find, it seems like mcgill and concordia as schools have some sort of connection/association with each other. the campuses are also in incredibly close proximity to each other, i thinl this decision to unite in protest is fantastic!

Museum day with my dad at Redpath Museum

There was almost no one in the morning, so we managed to take a few pictures while visiting. People started arriving around noon, and we left shortly after. My dad is not a photographer at all, but with guidance, he ended up doing a good job.

On February 19th 2024, a group of students at the McGill University began a hunger strike demanding the university's divestment and academic boycott of genocide and apartheid in Palestine. Amine (one of the strikers) was hospitalized as doctors told them that they were reaching dangerous levels of starvation during their hunger strike. As of right now, "Chadi" is the last remaining student involved in this hunger strike, living off of water, broth, and electrolytes. @/mcgillhungerstrike regularly posts updates on Instagram.

Separately, on March 18th 2024 at the University of South Florida, 18 unaffiliated students began to hunger strike as well, demanding that the president of USF call for a ceasefire, the open publication of investment portfolios of USF from 2013-2023, establish a student investment oversight committee, and for USF to immediately divest from all companies supporting Israel's ongoing genocide in Palestine. Several of the strikers have been hospitalized so far. @/usfhungerstrike regularly posts updates on Instagram.

The implications of the McGill university sweatshirt that Wilson proudly wears in House MD-

He lived in Montréal for a period of time

He most likely learned a bunch of Québec French

Wilson ate poutine, many time probably, and most likely at la Banquise, at 3 am after nights out with his university buddies

"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."

McGill University in Quebec, Canada has banned its Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) chapter from using the school’s name after the campus group posted on social media a statement that cheered Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel.

SPHR described Hamas’ atrocities — which included the murder of 1,200 people, numerous rapes, and taking 240 people hostage — as “heroic.”

“The university cannot be, or seen to be, associated with a celebration of the taking of civilian hostages,” university spokesperson Susan Murley told The Montreal Gazette. “This post by SPHR was antithetical to the university’s values and stands to undermine the important work aimed at bringing our community together through the Initiative Against Islamophobia and Antisemitism.”

Murley added: “The university has clearly indicated to the SSMU [Students’ Society of McGill University] that the revocation should not be interpreted as the university taking a position on the Middle East and emphasized that the university would act in exactly the same manner in regard to any club that used the McGill name when posting content of a similar nature.”

SPHR — a Canadian equivalent of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) that earlier this month accused school officials of having “the blood of 20 000 [sic] Palestinians on their hands” — is refusing to abide by the university’s order. In a statement, the group told the Gazette that it is “rejecting this name change” and charged that the ban “is just another blatant way to smear the only group on campus which is representing Palestinian students.”

McGill University has made numerous attempts to combat antisemitic speech on campus, threatening even to disaffiliate with SSMU, the school’s student government, over a referendum it scheduled to declare that Israel is conducting “genocidal bombing campaigns” in Gaza and demand that the university end partnerships with businesses described in the referendum as “complicit in genocide, settler-colonialism, apartheid, or ethnic cleansing against Palestinians.”

Tensions between the university and its student government resulting from extreme anti-Israel activism have persisted for some years. In March 2022, McGill officials threatened to defund SSMU after its members voted to approve a policy accusing Israel of imposing “settler-colonial apartheid” against Palestinians and backing a boycott of “all corporations and institutions complicit” in the supposed practice. SSMU advanced the measure against the objections of its own judicial board, which had repeatedly ruled that joining the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel would violate both the SSMU constitution and university’s policy on equity and inclusion.

Later, a McGill University student sued the school for allegedly reneging on its pledge to defund SSMU, and last month he won a victory when a court ordered an injunction to halt ratification of the resolution.

In the latest controversy, SSMU is charged with officially withdrawing the group’s affiliation with SPHR. The student government has so far not chosen to contest the university’s decision, according to a statement issued on Monday.

“We regret to announce that SPHR will no longer be able to use the McGill name,” its executive committee said. “We continue to take our role as liaison between student groups and the administration seriously and will continue to investigate avenues for remedial action.”

As of Wednesday, SPHR has not published new content on its accounts using the McGill University name.

Carrie Derick

Botanist and geneticist Carrie Derick was born in 1862 in Clarenceville, Quebec. In 1891, Derick became the first woman on McGill University's academic staff. Her research was key in the early development of genetic studies at the university. When she was appointed professor of morphological botany in 1912, she became the first woman in Canada to hold a professorship. While at McGill, Derick introduced Canada's first university course on evolution and genetics.

Carrie Derick died in 1941 at the age of 79.
