i'm surprised by the results of the referendum, but the university should accept the views of it's students. the university is the student body; democracy should prevail.

....and then the university should analyze it's admission policies, because it should be embarrassed that this happened.

i would call on the mcgill student union to run a parallel referendum asking the school to cut ties with people, corporations and institutions that are complicit in genocide, settler-colonialism, apartheid, or ethnic cleansing against native americans.

it makes sense for the canadian government to invest in industry.

it doesn't make sense for it to do so by giving out subsidies to private industry.

some percentage of public control over the factory should have been a pre-condition for the subsidy and would have allowed the state to veto this. as it is, this is what happens when you hand out money to industry without conditions attached to it.
