I'm reading Shock Doctrine and it shouldn't be surprising, I suppose, that students and others who sought medical care were tortured at #McGill University.
The revered institutions of western elitism all seem to be full of skeletons in the closet.

“The couple’s story began in 2018 at #McGill University in #Montreal, #Canada, where they met during freshman orientation.
Taffin recalled that Jung was volunteering for the event, helping with coat check and ticketing.”
New book on the history of McGill University - written and edited by historians, not the university's comms department. I wrote a chapter on how Indigenous dispossession and colonial politicians saved McGill when it was in danger of going broke. Others cover McGill's ties to chattel slavery, Japanese exclusion, research of various sorts, student lives, queer experiences, and more.

News report on a discovery from Dinosaur Provincial Park! McGill graduate student Andre Mueller describes a new species of fossil dragonfly, Cordualadensa acorni.
This is one of the first insect finds from the Dinosaur Park Formation. Between this and the find of an extensive trackway from earlier this summer, it looks like there's a lot of interesting stuff coming out of this formation!

McGill Redbirds unveil new logo for varsity teams
Someone at #UBC, #Waterloo, #UofT or #McGill with #NSERC backing must make a serious offer to #TerrenceTao and his entire research group. This is an opportunity for Canada.
"In #Palestine on Campus, The Rover’s Savannah Stewart and Justin Khan look back on the events of the last school year at #McGill, #Concordia and #DawsonCollege, revealing how pro-Palestinian #activism has raised tensions between university administrations and their student bodies and been the target of pushback from a variety of sources."

*Suzanne*) to Basilica Notre-Dame to St Patrick's Basilica. It's a touristy (pricey) area, but rare in North America, so wander around. Place Jacques-Cartier features a monument to #LordNelson
* There are many interesting museums, and I haven't been to them all. If you like trains, https://exporail.org/ (on the South Shore) could be worth a day trip.
* Walk from #McGill up Park St and go to either #StViateurBagels or #FairmountBagels to eat a few from the oven.

Best university in Canada is McGill University...and yet, the Quebec government is consistently trying to destroy it because...horror... it's an anglophone university.
J'espère que les Québécois vont un jour s'ouvrir les yeux que la société Québécoise, bien qu'à majorité francophone, n'est PAS unilingue, ne l'a jamais été et ne devrait jamais l'être.
A unilingual society is a dying society. Regardless of the unique language it speaks.
salute to my twin brother (not on any social media) who defended his PhD at #McGill this morning
