Victory! Neo-Nazi rag barred from postal system

After many years – and after lots of hard work by a lot of people in the Jewish, Muslim, LGBTQ communities, as well as women and people of colour – victory at last!

The Minister responsible for Canada Post has barred Your Ward News from using the postal system. This is a huge victory for tolerance, diversity and community action.

Congrats to all.

McGill University students have voted in favour of changing the name shared by the school’s varsity men’s sports teams, the Redmen, in a move they hope will pressure the university to respond in kind.

On Monday evening, students voted 78.8 per cent in favour of a change.

The non-binding referendum, organized by McGill’s student union, collected 5,856 votes — one of the highest participation rates for a vote of its kind at the university.

“Today, as students, we are defending values of respect and inclusion on campus,” a statement by the union said, adding it was thrilled by the result.


Groovy Dead

‘Groovy Dead’ by Rusty (@canrockrusty) remains one of the greatest punk anthems in Canadian history, and possibly world history.




Dear American Democrat friends

We proudly worked for Hillary in 2016, and we worked again for the Democrats in 2018 – and we’re Canadians who can’t even vote today!

It’s looking good right now – but it was looking good two years ago this week, too.

Remember this headline.  Read the story below it.

Then go and vote blue, up and down the ticket!
