Campus Watch in Canada?

i am quite impressed with your achievements and those of campus watch.

Does Campus Watch have any Canadian branch or affiliates? A similar survey of mid-east studies at Canadian universities and colleges [c.e.g.e.p`s] would prove most enlightening, in the shadow of the Concordia University hate-fest last year, against allowing B. Netanyahu the right to speak.

This incident occured in an English university in Quebec. What about our French speaking universities in Quebec [ Universitie du Montreal or U.Q.A.M ]?

I have recentlly discussed with two Jewish students the present situation at their university [U.M.] vis a vis the arab/muslim-jewish relationship and the "Quebecois".

Their response was that they felt very uncomfortable. "The Quebecois unquestionably accept, in large numbers, the well greased slogans of Palestians and other Arab activists." Jewish students are a minority on these campuses and the fear factor leads Jewish students to remain mute, to fellow students,teachers ,or administrators , of their concerns of rascism,and anti-semitism veiled behind anti-israel positions presented in class and with- in this institute of higher learning.
