This is quite a can of worms as now there’s precedent to investigate Islamophobia in the CEGEP system… Most CEGEPs have a Hillel on campus, for example, and Hillel is openly Zionist.
I sincerely doubt that the Ministry would investigate that though, as it could also create a precedent to call Bill 21 out for what it is.

I confess to some schadenfreude seeing cancel culture, safetyism, and safe spaces flip around to bite the Left.

Do you have stats on how often it actually affected people on the right vs left (it’s “cancel culture” if a teacher is fired for teaching about slavery, or if a library bans books about same sex penguin couples, even if the right calls it something else), or is this just vibes based?

Chris, do you have any evidence those things you mention have occurred in CEGEPs?

It is not clear what is even prompting these investigations, other than a TVA report. Neither Dawson nor Vanier report receiving complaints from students or having even been contacted by the Minister’s office.

SMD, your link got eaten. Can you post it again, please?

Chris, you see Israel and Palestine as Right vs Left? Interesting take. Is it the colonialism or the ethnic cleansing that you see as right and left “sides”? Is it the religion? Or is it some some facet of the colonial regional history from Rome to Britain to modern Israel? I’d love to hear you elaborate on this.
