´Ex-FIFA president Blatter joins those calling for boycott of World Cup in U.S.´
Sensible. I’m amazed anyone voluntarily flies to the USA anymore. The country is not governed by the rule of law right now.

A madman is running the USA.
No other word for a guy who says he’s prepared to invade friendly countries and destroy the world order because he didn’t get a trophy.
Is there anything this lunatic could do that would make Republicans say enough?

He made up a fictional story about how York and its students are so afraid of him and his message that they shut him down.
In truth no one at York knows who this Alberta MP is or gives a shit what he’s talking about.
Typical Trump-style fake grievance nonsense from Conservatives.

I'm sorry, help me out here, but did this dingus go public about his event being "cancelled" when it was never booked in the first place? You don't get to INVITE YOURSELF to a university and proclaim it a free speech issue! www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/con...

Why Canada needs better data on strikes, unions and other labour issues
Canada does a poor job of gathering labour relations information. In a period of rising inequality and renewed workplace conflict, stakeholders need better data.

Right, and also if some guy walks onto campus and just sets up a table to proselytize about something bad, Conservatives would be first in line screaming that the university isn’t protecting students against the harmful speech (see claims of anti-Semitism on campus). They talk out of both sides.

Then when told neither student union or University know anything about him or his alleged talk, he doubles down.

I was planning to visit Cornell to work on various labour law projects, but you know, Trump. So no USA.
Instead, I’ll be a Visiting Professor at Oxford and the London School of Economics during the year instead!
So that turned out pretty excellent!

On a similar point, it is irresponsible for academics to schedule international academic conferences in the U.S. during the Trump regime. It is not safe for visitors.
All conferences should be moved aboard until further notice. We can host them in Canada.

Talked to my 96 year old mom today, who lived thru Nazis bombing her town in north England as a girl.
She commented on how she never imagined that she’d be living in a time when the United States was the bad guy threatening war all over the world, including against allies.
Sad times indeed.
