CdnFox Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/ubc-among-4-canadian-universities-facing-class-action-lawsuits-for-alleged-antisemitic-incidents-1.7018309 Documents filed in B.C. Supreme Court ask for $15 million in damages and allege UBC showed negligence by failing to address antisemitic incidents and hate speech. It also says UBC violated its own non-discrimination policies and gave staff insufficient training on handling harassment. The Alma Mater Society of UBC, Students' Union Okanagan and the Graduate Students Society have also been named as defendants. York, TMU, Queen's facing similar lawsuits Law firm Diamond and Diamond launched the lawsuit against UBC and three similar suits in Ontario, naming York University, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) and Queen's University. "What we're suggesting in our lawsuits is that [the universities] fostered an environment where this type of hate speech has been encouraged and allowed, and there's been no consequences for it," said Diamond and Diamond managing partner Sandra Zisckind.

CdnFox Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 well this is going to be interesting as hell. I can't say as i'm fond of anything that restricts free speech but some of the things that have gone on recently probably exceed what free speech would allow. And the left may find itself a victim of it's own tactics here pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankyMcFarland Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I presume we’ll hear more about what is alleged. Clicking on that link I came across another video of Mr. Eby looking miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who's polling so well with a split right vote to boot you'd think he'd at least smirk once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
