There comes a time when large-scale acts of civil disobedience are necessary. That time is now.
In recent weeks, the City of Montreal and its police have violated the rights of hundreds of people by enforcing municipal bylaw P-6 to bring excessively violent ends to peaceful demonstrations in the city.

We Need Accessible Elections
The Concordia Student Union and the university’s political culture have flat-lined. We don’t want to harp on the tired cliché that the student body is apathetic—we know that already. We know that nobody gives a damn. What we need to concentrate on is why.

Standing With the Faculty
We’re reaching a breaking point when it comes to labour negotiations at Concordia. Last week, our full-time professors joined the ranks of our part-time faculty and steelworker unions by voting in favour of a strike mandate—a first for the Concordia University Faculty Association.

CSUseless
Laforest’s presidency was, in some ways, already over before he resigned.

Link Live Session: Patrick Krief
Before his set at Casa Del Popolo, Patrick Krief played an acoustic version of “Lost in Japan” for us in his Côte Saint-Luc home. It’s a song about his time in that country, where he felt the strongest sense of Lost in Translation-esque culture shock.

The trees outside Mile End’s Salon Sweet William shuddered in a frigid wind, but inside Maerin Hunting warmed the room with an intimate performance of “I’ll Tell Ya,” a song telling a story from the perspective of a former crush, detailing her anticipation before anything happened.

The Slumbering, Blundering Council
A few councillors have complained that we are not covering the Concordia Student Union enough. It’s not our job to make the council newsworthy, but they probably have a point.

Idle No More
While we were out, there was something of an awakening across Canada. People all over the country have been gathering to voice their dissent with the status quo when it comes to First Nations poverty and shrinking environmental regulation. The push for a more multilateral and just approach to First Nations policy has inspired thousands to learn more and have their voices heard—and the headlines have followed.
