McGill U: going against the flow

March 5, 2009 by Tanya Zaleski Leave a Comment

Proud as punch about this:

McGill University’s student government has bucked an unfortunate national trend by granting full club status to a student anti-abortion group.

The Student Society’s decision to grant recognition to Choose Life is not so much a victory for pro-life forces as it is a victory for free speech and freedom of association, values that seem to be under attack, and poorly defended, on many Canadian campuses – where they should be safest.

I think a lot of this had to do with McGill not wanting to come off as narrow as York or Calgary Universities. In case you haven’t noticed, Quebec likes to go against the flow. Sometimes to a fault. Not this time, thank goodness.
