These young people baffle me. They hate oppression yet want to oppress people. Make that make sense. I guess the Liberal Party isn't moving fast enough in the communist direction for them.

Communism under Stalin and Mao killed millions of their own people. Do these young people know about the Berlin Wall. Was it built to keep the free West out of the communist utopia in East Berlin? No it was to keep the people trapped in East Berlin in the hell hole of communism.

We need schools and universities to teach about the hell caused by communism.

They are teaching, or at least, allowing the exact opposite. All in the name of freedom of expression.

You did notice that mostly these groups of antifa are nested in school...sooo him, more school will bring more technocrat teachers with big salary to fund school late class and form futur technocrats. How do they tet financed? Some is str8 out of the scholar fees and they got to manualy get out of it...so more school will bring more what? More financed antifa for us to endure.

I suggest before we make school, we review the course and teaching. Since its impossible to have a life with only one point of view id also suggest to make 2 type pf school with the main mindset for each. One traditionally conservator, the other new age like liberalist.

Thinking bout it its not perfect, but at least we wouldnt be stuck with every school infiltrated and impossible to define who is for what cause. Seems they all in it lately.

As a taxpayer and subsidizer of higher education, I don't think I'm getting my money's worth! I noticed a book about the Iranian revolution in their display -- these historic illiterates likely don't realize the Islamists partnered with the communists to overthrow the Shah and when the revolution was complete they "disappeared" the communists. These children are useless idiots.

During the Freedom Convoy stories were concocted of a plan to overthrow the government and what were the results- an illegal use of the Emergencies Act.

Here a need to overthrow the government is out right declared and what will come of this.. the Liberal Regime hasn't been embarrassed, so nothing.

The Supression of the Freedom Convoy marked a turning point in the Canada's values towards communism and everything these people are advocating. It is stunning to see that in the polls in Epoch Times show 50% or more of Canadians believe Canada is in the right direction and our politicians are doing a great job. It looks like Liberal and maybe Chinese operatives are "stacking" those polls.

Or is it true after all? Are we Canadians that sick?

These people have no idea what it is like to have no control over your life. Under communism their meeting would be illegal. The reporter should have insisted that they empty their pockets right there and then and give it to inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy. Only a stupid person would give up democracy.

If they think they have no chance to succeed now they should consider that under communism the leaders had all the privileges which is what they are accusing our society of right now.

It is an interesting phenomenon that young people tend to want socialism because they want the country's wealth 'shared' with them equally without having spent a lifetime working for it, but once people accumulate some wealth by working for it they do not want to just give it away.

Canadians waving flags at Freedom Convoy 2022 were deemed a threat to democracy by the socialist/communist Liberal/NDP government and the jackboots were called out to quell the demonstration. Meanwhile in the heavily subsidized halls of distorted learning Marxists push their agenda freely.

This is nothing new. I remember going to a meeting in the early '80's that was hosted by some " friends " of mine in Uni...here in Canada and they were advocating the exact same agenda. I didn't agree with them then nor do I now. Our so called "education " centers are and have been for a long time not a place to learn critical thinking, a practice that could and should be instilled beginning in pre school.

Angelina, I am not sure where your comment is heading. Are you suggesting that nothing has changed from 40 years ago, and the world around us is still the same as then without violence and everyone loving each other? I don't see that. Hatred and racism to me have grown exponentially in this country. I could be wrong, but in my opinion we are closer to WWIII than ever, and closer than ever to blowing ourselves up.

Russia would not be appropriate as it's not communist. Hard to find the right place. However, those students could attend the speech by Lech Walesa in Toronto on October 25th. The former President of Poland could give them a first hand lesson in history.

Nothing about this makes sense but nothing about communism makes sense now or at any other time in history. These people are dillusional and a bunch of birdbrains blinded to the truth.

Why would authorities allow this to continue. It's a threat to the country. Why not seize the bank accounts and the put them on a one way flight to Russia. I'm sure Putin can use more troops, they would be welcomed with open arms.

To clean this crap up you have to get in the gutter with them for a while, take a page out of their communist handbook, round them all up and make them disappear. Sorry but if they want to play that way then to actually win that fight you have to also play the game their way!!!! It's time to clean up the mess!!!!!

Thank God that we live in a free country. Those who are unhappy with the way our country is run have the right to move to a country that practices the still of government they are advocating. Russia or China come to mind. Good luck and good riddance

Russia is not communist, China some aspects but not outright. As to being in a free country, that's being eroded as we speak.

Hey everyone calling to send them to Russia. Russia is not a communist country and hasn't been since the fall in 91. Open a history book, just because you don't like their leader Putin.

Ruzzia as a society is fraught with corruption, flourishing organized crime, propagandized media, systemic perversions of justice & targeted imprisonment of dissent, widespread poverty among bluecollar families/ remote rural communities / frontline military conscripts, 1940's era rural infrastructure conditions, collapsed economy in multiple abandoned empty ghost towns, & a deeply engrained survival-of-the-fittest mentality of distrust in government. This is collectively the 'very product / outcome' of multiple generations of Ruzzian peoples who were exposed to "utopian pursuit", purges touching every surviving family lineage, & the very evidence of harm by a full-on, lengthy, parasitic communist experiment. Rural Ruzzia, its collection of historic interrogation/torture buildings, the remnants of brutal labour death camps across Siberian wilderness, & the nation's well distributed mass grave sites are exactly the type of post-secondary student immersion these naive twits need for a 2-year tour. They might likely never return, if not at least be profoundly, utterly humbled & changed.

If you are talking about pure communism I agree but then it has not been for a much longer time than 91. It is a quasi dictatorship (open to interpretation)

"Make it impossible for anything productive to happen on campus." Given the state of higher education in this country, I'd say that ship has sailed.

Bonkers, that lot.
