Falling Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Apparently they're calling each other "comrade". I guess this is a great way to live out your marxist fantasy. edit: And I say that as a passionate socialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 LOL my grad student friends are snapping me what's going on inside the Rexall building (aka the shed) and it's full of ppl cheering at some guy giving a speech saying that we're striking NOW. I think it's over guys. Falling and Goku 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 We're approaching the time period where people devolve into anger and name calling. This is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yup. Had a feeling this strike would be more about sending a message in the end rather than the offer put forth by the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 As a second degree student, I'm going to be forced to consider alternatives if this lasts super long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goku Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I just found out that if the strike lasts 2 weeks or less they will NOT push back exams or extend the term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I just found out that if the strike lasts 2 weeks or less they will NOT push back exams or extend the term Yup the profs can decide how they'll restructure the course if it's less than 2 weeks (majority of students have to vote yes though). Most of the content will simply be cut out. BUT if it's longer than 2 weeks we push into summer and reschedule exams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 They are also getting paid to strike and the government will not be able to force them back to work this time. Fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Like I said, if this lasts very long, I will look elsewhere. I don't have time to waste waiting for a strike to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronjw Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 So what's the over/under? Starting 10-1 odds at <=7 days, 3-5 odds at <=30 days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 What are you gonna do?! I'll probably have to give up on medicine if this thing looks like a 12-15 week strike. I can't lose an entire semester. I'll just find work and figure things out. I have my undergrad degree. The grades are bad, but it is still a mathematics degree from u of t. I can always take a few courses and become an accountant or something boring like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
