May Day was born in the US, but it was suppressed here for fear that every year, we would remember the Haymarket affair, when cops and courts murdered workers striking to win the 8 hour day.
Today, as militarized police attack students protesting genocide, we remember.

Yama Wolasmal, interviews Israeli spokesperson, David Mencer. This should be taught in all journalism schools. I spoke at the Norwegian Journalism Institute last year @Pressenshus in Oslo & was so impressed with the rigour of their work.
Curious about what's the UBC encampment is all about?
I just heard this excellent piece of reporting on CBC radio: for once, anti-genocide students are just allowed to explain what they're doing.
