1. Water fountains? Is that some new-fangled thing?

2. wow... McGill University always had a rep of being very conservative..

At an international meeting several years ago, I can recall some of their faculty disparaging CDC for their environmental work, especially along the US-Mexico border, where years after NAFTA. passage had shone a light on emerging communities on both sides of the boarder that lacked sewage and water infrastructure. I can remember some comments made to CDC representatives presenting this data and related Hepatitis A and other infectious disease related outcomes, as "how very CDC of you".... As though expecting such infrastructure improvements was some really bleeding heart liberal stance...

So, either McGill has really changed, those factions have moved on, or ? Surprised but pleased to see if this is at all representative.

3. Quebec is pretty liberal. I'm surprised to hear McGill was not.
