Watch protestors at McGill disrupt Jojo Ruba’s presentation. I had heard of this but there’s something you experience in watching it. (For me it really drove home what idiots they are.)

When I was in university, SU elections were more or less a farce. Voter turnout ran about 20%, and, for those who did turn out to vote, well, we made our choices by who had the prettiest sign or made the promise to freeze tuition hikes (which they never did.)
If a university student were to run on a “free speech/pro-life” platform, I think the student elections would quickly get quite interesting.
I wonder if there are any kamikaze students up there who would be willing to take up the challenge. And how we could support them.
Because, you know, our politicians are too chicken to bring up the abortion issue in Parliament.
Wow…
I’m beginning to question if their collective IQ points resemble something along the lines of a cheeto.
Just wow…
There’s something particularly, frustrating, however, at seeing people so hellbent on ignorance that they are willing to slice their own ears off, and there’s something nonplussing, and quite distressing, to me about the fact that I have literally held more successful and mature conversations with a two-year-old. :O
Are these just generally pro-choice protesters, or are they protesting specifically because the publicised theme of the conference is holocaust comparisons?
As protesters go, they arn’t very good at it… I can’t even work out what they are protesting. They should at least have a meaningful chant, rather than just singing ‘n bottles of beer.’ No chant, no signs, no speech to read… it’s completly disorganised. This looks like someone just bought their friends over on a whim, possibly after a few bottles of beer had already been taken down.
Hi Suricou,
I’m a Choose Life member, and so I can personally vouch for the fact that this is the same bunch that shows up to literally every event we hold and every discussion that any university governing body has about Choose Life or its actions. One of the protestors (you can see her in the videos) is a SSMU councillor, who is allowed to protest against us and then is given a vote on whether we should exist or not. These people simply don’t like us and they want us to go away. However, the singing is a new tactic. Too bad they couldn’t pick better songs.
