One of my favourite student blogs is UndercoverKitty– if you want to be kept up-to-date on the antics of Canada’s pro-Marxist student unions, this is the blog to follow… In today’s posting UndercoverKitty uncovers the CFS encouraging students to go out and break the law! There’s also mention of their connections with Black Bloc, our …
