The latest to grace the fair walls of Montreal's Concordia University:
Let's run a little thought experiment, shall we? Let's say that on September 11, 2001, oh, I don't know, the CN Tower got knocked down by a terrorist-piloted airliner. (Let's say, for the sake of argument, that there were 3,000 people eating in the revolving restaurant at the time.) Let's say Canada launched its own War on Terror in response. Let's say they tore into Afghanistan and rooted out the immediate threat from al Qaeda and the Taliban; let's say they developed a long-view plan to nullify Islamic terrorism at its source, including eliminating the threat of an armed Iraq, culminating in an invasion a year after the Afghanistan action.
Would students in American universities be painting things like this on their public walls? Would we see murals of Canadian public figures waving CN-Tower-shaped phalli around while wearing Napoleon hats or Mountie uniforms?
Come to think of it, considering recent events around here, we probably would-- and that's what's really pissing me off.
