    Americans treating the world like they own the place while disregarding the sovereign rights of everyone other than themselves? Nooooo… Say it ain’t so…

      So this is a local thing to me and I must say that McGill University was 100% complicit in this and was no victim of the US.

      Another fun fact is the Leonard Cohen went through the program. One of the programs tests was to try to make atheists believe in God. Cohen was a very secular Jewish boy at the time of writing “the favorite game”, but as time went on Jesus started cropping up more and more often in his work.

      I’m not saying they succeeded in making him a Christian, but attempts to subliminally I plant Jesus into his psyche might have had some success.

        That makes zero difference to me. McGill is a piece of shit for it, and that needs to be addressed, but my frustration lies with America acting like they own the fucking planet and do whatever the hell they want wherever the hell they want.
