“The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service.”
Albert Einstein

Check your ignorance at the door. Before you dismiss our counter-recruitment action as some pointless hippie-shit, open your mind and learn why we did it.

The military has no place at Fanshawe College’s Career Fair for numerous reasons. Firstly, there are no military-related programs offered at Fanshawe College and therefore, every student here is studying to become something other than a soldier.

On Saturday, January 26, twelve people from across Turtle Island (Canada and the United States) traveled to eastern Ontario as part of a nine-day multi-faith delegation sponsored by Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT). The group is visiting the Robertsville mine site (about 80 km north of Kingston, ON) where two Algonquin First Nations communities are struggling to protect their unceded land from uranium mining.

Last night at approximately 1:30 AM, a collective of London activists executed a brilliant billboard liberation at the intersection of Adelaide and Lorne, only three blocks away from the London Police Headquarters. They undertook a wheatpasting operation to bring more truth to their client, ‘Wendy’s ‘Stack Attack’ advertisement. The word ‘stack’ was changed to ‘heart’ in order to point out the serious fact that fast food causes a massive amount of serious health problems in our society.

The Fanshawe Social Justice Club is kicking off the New Year at Fanshawe with the most ambitious event to date; a week-long film festival! The first annual ‘Empowerment Film Festival’ will bring more than ten hard-hitting, award-winning, thought-provoking, and change-inspiring documentary films to Fanshawe College. The goal of this festival is to engage students, faculty, staff, and the community at large with issues of social and environmental justice through the powerful medium of film.

Who is the actionfamily? YOU ARE!

In 2001, a collective of local activists called the actionfamily turned London into a hotbed of direct action with one of their campaigns resulting in the creation of a much needed emergency and transitional housing shelter for the homeless community.

Isn’t it strange how quickly time passes us by? It’s as if every year that passes by gets shorter. Why is this? Is it only because we’re getting older or does it have something to do with the fact that we are slowly being molded into ‘responsible’ cogs in the machine of this system and acquiesced to a structured, repetitive, and predictably monotonous lifestyle.
