@isothelevitator @JSkeaping Tbf I think the direct impact of the strike is negligible on the climate, in either direction. Ill probably just disagree with him that it’s more socialist policies that are the best action to take- incentives are far more powerful

@JSkeaping @johnestevens @PoliticoTeacher Good point. Worth mentioning they could publicly back him but vote against (truss?). But this could be offset by those not publicly backing him but still voting for him (maybe those who are pals of Boris but are an mp for an area who dont like him)

The two grads turned to YES in Montreal, which provides employment counselling. Its acting director said they have seen a 27% increase in 18-35-year-olds seeking help in the past year. Around two-thirds of their clients hold bachelor’s, master’s, or Ph.D. qualifications. 6/8

Making it harder for grads: job requirements are rising, and Quebec's language laws add difficulty, explained the director. This generation also came out of the pandemic where there was fewer opportunities like internships and in-person networking events... 7/8

A peaceful confrontation between people bearing Israeli, Palestinian and Lebanese flags. Some heated dialogue but always remaining peaceful. A couple of police officers watch on next to them.

Encampment gone. All that remains is a boggy field, some goal posts, and graffiti on the library the camp was next to. Feels like a football pitch in rural England (minus the graffiti).
