Also this should tell you what you need to know about Peter Munk's vanity project generous donation to higher education:

quote:

A similar feature exists in the University of Toronto’s joint partnership with a foundation representing Peter Munk, chairman and founder of Barrick Gold Corp., the largest gold-mining company in the world. The Munk School of Global Affairs was established in 2009 with a $35-million donation from the mining magnate. According to the 12-page agreement, Mr. Munk’s donations will be paid in tranches over 10 years and will be subject to the Munk family’s approval.

In return for the $35-million, the university must create a school in the “top tier of the world’s leading schools of international studies,” at a heritage building that permits only senior faculty and visitors to enter through its front doors. The university has committed to providing the Munk Foundation a detailed written progress report annually, including all relevant financial information. The school’s director, selected by the university, will be required to report to a board appointed by Mr. Munk to “discuss the programs, activities and initiatives of the school in greater detail.” The Munk Foundation’s donation to the university is a no-strings endowment that allows the donor to walk from making an additional gift after a blue-ribbon panel of academics has reviewed the progress of the school. Mr. Munk and his foundation have the ability to halt future donations should they agree or disagree with the peer review.

One of those innumerable lefty campus groups put up a bunch of posters criticizing Munk and Barrick Gold and the University actually made some poor overworked janitor walking around tearing all the signs down because they thought Munk might sue them for defamation. Which is probably the biggest impact that a campus postering campaign has had in a couple decades.

Groups across Nova Scotia call for 'drunks can consent' judge to be removed
'Judge Lenehan has demonstrated he is incapable of fairly applying the law in cases of sexual assault'
CBC News Posted: Mar 03, 2017 3:09 PM AT Last Updated: Mar 03, 2017 3:48 PM AT

A dozen sexual-assault centres, centres for women, and therapists are calling on Nova Scotia's chief judge to recommend removing Judge Gregory Lenehan from the provincial bench over comments he made in acquitting a taxi driver of sexual assault this week.

Lenehan said a police officer was right to arrest Bassam Al-Rawi when she found him in his taxi with an unconscious woman whose clothing he had removed. But the judge believed that "clearly a drunk can consent" and that the Crown provided no evidence she had not consented, so he let Al-Rawi go free.

"Lenehan's judgment in this case demonstrates a clear disregard for and lack of understanding of sexual assault and definitions of consent as defined in the Criminal Code. Judge Lenehan has demonstrated he is incapable of fairly applying the law in cases of sexual assault and, therefore, must be removed from the bench," the group wrote in an open letter to media outlets.

They should just close their legs.

That being said, you can totally just walk in if you want. The Munk School is also a place where grad students have offices, students visit their profs, classes happen, etc.

Since we're coming up on the 10-year anniversary of Munk slapping his name on a building, I think this survey was actually related to the fact that he really wants the Munk School to be in the "top tier" of global affairs schools. Like half the questions were about how I would rank the Munk School compared to actual important global affairs schools like the Kennedy School at Harvard and the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton.

That's the fun thing about polls. They're almost always designed so that the raw data of your answers can be shaped or interpreted to fit whatever message the pollster (or person who hired the pollster) is attempting to convey.

This is more or less how I answered. I have a lot of experience with the Munk School and I thought it was pretty outrageous that they were placing themselves in that category.

I work for a company that does business with the government and we did a big conference type thing this afternoon that included a simulation of question period. You had to come up with positions to various scenarios, based roughly on a libs vs cons model. I was conservative.

Jobs hard working Canadians. Jobs. Roll up our sleeves and get to work. The time for talk is over. Jobs. When my family had tough times that just made us work even harder. Hard working Jobs Canadians. Jobs. The opposition just wants to sit around and talk but we know what hard working Canadians want is to have their tax dollars go to politicians who will work just as hard as they do. Jobs.

Being a conservative demagogue seems like it would be pretty easy if you could handle the lack of self respect.

Moreso, the victim in this case was found by police unconscious while being raped having previously urinated in her pants, which were found in the taxi drivers hands.

So yeah lets take this judges point of view, a .244 alcohol blood level woman who had pissed their pants could have consented knowingly before passing into unconsciousness. It cant be ruled out therefore reasonable doubt!
