In the midst of all the federal election coverage, we want to take a moment to draw SFU community attention to a problematic event " : How Media Bias Shapes the Gender Identity Debate" happening on SFU Vancouver Campus featuring transphobic radical "feminist" Meghan Murphy among others. Hate speech is NOT Free Speech and should not be tolerated in an "engaged" university such as SFU.

There are some great protests and actions in the works to counter this one-sided panel of transphobic hate speech. See below for more details and events you can get involved with.

Youth voter turnout spiked in 2015. Was that an anomaly, or the start of a meaningful trend? If millennials go to the polls en masse, that could be good news for the Greens
