Journalist: King Charles will be in New York. What will you say to him?

Mamdani: I would highly encourage him to return the Kohinoor Diamond if I were to speak with him

The world is more anxious than ever, so the CBC decided it's time to re-up this already, coincidentally on #McGill24. Tonight at 8:05 pm on CBC Radio One, or link here if you haven't heard it already.

Zohran Mamdani, the first South Asian Muslim Mayor of NYC, quoted Jawaharlal Nehru's 1947 Independence Day speech in his 2025, victory speech, "...when we step out from the old to the new...and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance." My heart is full! 🫶✊❤️

#AirCanada flight attendants should just ignore the government's imposition of forced arbitration. Other major unions should join them in a sympathetic strike. Mind you, all that would be illegal under Canadian labour law.

The facile invocation of Section 107 whenever a strike inconveniences the Canadian economy perversely distorts labour negotiations and undermines what the Supreme Court of Canada has said is a fundamental constitutional right. It has fundamentally broken Canadian labour law.

.. tariffs, migration etc. etc. I can see that there is a greater need for reason-based perspectives on the anxieties that characterize democracy today. I suggest that Hobbes has the resources to help us distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable anxieties, a task ...

@jdtw123 Congratulations Dr. Walters!

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

In a protest in Tel Aviv, Israeli activists held photos of Palestinian children recently killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza—a brave and deeply moral stand in the face of ongoing atrocities.
