📚 Remembrance Day, Christmas dropped from Concordia students' handbook
Concordia's student union spent a reported $30,000 in student fees on a handbook that calls Canada "so-called Canada," drops Remembrance Day and Christmas, and marks Palestinian Prisoner Day, so a new free-speech group is handing out a patriotic alternative.
How are some students on Canadian campuses becoming so radicalized? Rebel News' @TheVoiceAlexa went to McGill University
(@McGillU) to look at one answer: the student handbook.
Often funded through mandatory student fees and handed out to thousands, these handbooks can carry a political agenda. The latest example comes from the Concordia Student Union (@CSUMTL).
Rebel News interns @Anastasia_Zor and @RealDrewSylver joined Lavoie to discuss it.
Zorchinsky said the handbook refers to "so-called Canada," encourages students to write letters to prisoners convicted of terrorist attacks and killings, and drops Canadian holidays entirely.
"They don't even have Remembrance Day to remember the soldiers that gave their lives to our nation," she said.
Instead, it marks days like Palestinian Prisoner Day and Cuban Revolution Day. When she challenged the student union about a poem by Walid Daqqa, a former PFLP member convicted over the kidnapping and killing of a soldier, she said it was defended.
Sylver said the handbook cost students $30,000 in fees.
Canadian Students for Free Speech has produced an alternative, featuring Canadian and Christian holidays, a map of Canada, profiles of every province, a list of prime ministers, and practical guidance on free speech and debate.
Students offered mixed views. One said she had no problem with a Palestinian flag in a handbook, but felt one about Canada should include more Canadian flags. Others objected to paying for a publication they felt didn't represent them.
@WilliamDiazAB, national coordinator of Canadian Students for @FreeSpeech_CAN, said the student union had every right to publish its handbook. "We just thought that it wasn't representative of the Canadian population, of our values as Canadians," he said.

Am I the only one who thinks that Palestine deserves everything it got after the October 7th attack?

FIRED for a T-Shirt: “SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE” Gets a Brewer TERMINATED!!
John Adair, co-owner and head brewer at Sooke Brewing Company, was terminated after a photo circulated of him working on September 30, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, in a shirt that read “Show Me The Evidence.”
The brewery called the shirt offensive and the incident unacceptable, apologized for the hurt caused especially to Indigenous communities and said his views and actions do not reflect the company’s values.
News coverage of the story carried a “graphic content” warning.
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth looks at the termination, the brewery’s response, and what the reaction says about which political messages are treated as acceptable and which ones are treated as grounds for removal.
Please share this video far and wide!!

Boycott the brewery.
A brewery worker in a small town was found wearing a "Show Me the Evidence" shirt on Orange Shirt Day yesterday, so the brewery fired him and issued a temporary closure. Just another day in Canada, where you can wear politicized shirts... but only if you hold the correct opinion

🚨 José Mourinho blasts Jorge Jesus over the tension with Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ José Mourinho: “I find it insulting to Cristiano Ronaldo that you would call him up for the national team, take him to these games and then treat him like he is just another player you can leave on the bench.
“If you already knew you weren’t going to use him, why call him up?
“Cristiano is not Endrick. He is not Vinícius. He is not Yamal. He is Cristiano Ronaldo. You know exactly what he represents.
“Jorge knew Cristiano was 41 when he selected him. He knew he couldn’t do what 25-year-old Ronaldo could do anymore. Nobody is asking him to play every minute or carry the team for 90 minutes.
“But if you call him because you understand his importance, then you have to manage that importance properly. You don’t suddenly reduce him to a name on the bench just because you want to show everyone that the coach is in charge.
“If Jorge has forgotten what Cristiano has done for Portugal, the world hasn’t forgotten.
“This man has carried Portugal through generations. He has scored the goals, broken the records, won the trophies and kept Portugal competing at the highest level for years.
“And Jorge should also remember what Ronaldo has meant to his own career.
“Cristiano has given him exposure. He has given him international relevance. He has been part of the reason people around the world were watching that team.
“So when you have benefited from someone’s influence, you don’t turn around and treat that person as if he is now an inconvenience.
“Cristiano is 41. Fine. That’s reality.
“His legs are not the same. His minutes have to be managed. There will be games where he shouldn’t start.
“I have no problem with that.
“But there is a massive difference between managing a 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and disrespecting Cristiano Ronaldo because he is 41.
“If you need him for 20 minutes, play him for 20. If you need him for one decisive moment, prepare him for that moment.
“But don’t make the mistake of thinking his age has erased everything he can still give you.
“And Jorge has to be careful because a coach can win an argument with a player today and still lose something much bigger tomorrow.
“The Nations League will finish. The players will return to their clubs. Jorge will move on to the next match.
“But Cristiano will remember how he was treated.
“You don’t have to worship him. You don’t have to guarantee him a starting place.
“But after everything Cristiano Ronaldo has given Portugal, **you owe him respect.
“You don’t bite the fingers that helped feed you.”

这两天YouTube上有一个视频杀疯了，
成都女孩“墨韵”用咱们两千多年历史的古筝，
翻弹了老鹰乐队的摇滚神曲《加州旅馆》，
狂揽两千多万播放量，底下的老外在评论区直接听懵了。
《加州旅馆》最绝的就是那段吉他Solo，
而墨韵硬是用古筝清脆悠扬的拨弦声，
把这段西方摇滚的经典神仙还原了。
她用现场循环演奏的方式，
把摇滚的狂野律动和东方民乐的韵味完美融合。
很多外国网友惊呼，这绝对是他们听过最不可思议、最美妙的翻唱版本，硬生生让咱们这门历史悠久的传统乐器在全球狠狠圈了一波粉。
这段旋律对咱们在美国、尤其是德州生活的华人来说，
听着感受极其奇妙。德州本来就是一个极度热爱经典摇滚和吉他文化的地方，平时大家开着车在高速上，电台里最常放的公路神曲就是这首。但当这首刻进美国人骨子里的旋律，顺着咱们老祖宗的古筝弦流淌出来时，那种东方底蕴跟西方经典完美碰撞的感觉，
真的让人头皮发麻，又极其自豪。
我们的文化不仅能高山流水，玩起经典流行一样能惊艳世界。
Love Classical Music and Movies 🎺🎻💖🎥🎬

JUST IN: The Lone Lindsay Clancy Juror Michael Desronvil Just Broke His Silence Tonight in a Defiant Statement praising God and Defending the Children Murdered by Lindsay Clancy.
“I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels that's at hand. The ones that can't speak for themselves, the ones that can't defend themselves, and the one that can't fight the battles.”
“And those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan.”
“I want to thank God for my Catholic faith. I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.”
“I would like to thank everyone, every individual that has supported me throughout this difficult situation. Your prayers, your emotional support, your psychological support is tremendous to my heart that I feel, that I sense, that I know. I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.”
Pray for Michael 🙏🏻
