Do protests like the University of Toronto encampment actually change policy or minds? Poll finds Canadians skeptical

As pro-Palestinian protesters continue their encampments at universities across Canada and the United States, a new poll sheds light on what Canadians think about the value of protests, generally, and of their ability to effect change.

While the vast majority of respondents say protests are effective at raising awareness, far fewer say they believe the demonstrations can actually change the positions of governments or institutions — and even fewer say they think protests can sway the opinions of people on the other side of an issue, according to a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute released Tuesday.

Gee I am much more sympathetic to Hamas since they explained their baby killing.

Mainstream Media Play Defense for Anti-Israel Protesters Occupying Buildings, Causing Campus Chaos

Left-Wing Media Tries to Normalize Behavior of Anti-Israel Protesters

Left-wing pundits want you to know it’s actually not that big of a deal to occupy a building — and they’re actually kind of annoyed you would suggest otherwise.

Over 1,000 anti-Israel demonstrators marched through upper Manhattan towards the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the star-studded Met Gala is in full swing — but were quickly blocked from reaching the event by dozens of cops in riot gear who began making arrests.

The still-growing crowd was marching north on Fifth Avenue Monday night — blocking traffic along the way — before cops stopped them at the East 79th Street Transverse in Central Park.

FLASHBACK: Lefties Frowned As America Cheered bin Laden’s Demise

Thirteen years ago, nearly all Americans were united in celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden, the terrorist leader behind the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Yet one group stood on the sidelines and scowled: the Sourpuss Left, which fretted the “mindless jubilation” and “jingoistic hubris” of those cheering the elimination of the evil al Qaeda leader, an avowed enemy who had ordered the deaths of thousands of innocent people.

Mama Cass ‘didn’t choke to death on a ham sandwich’, daughter says

This is an attempt to right a rock wrong. One of the most famous musical myths is simply not true.

The daughter of Mama Cass Elliot from folk vocal group Mamas and the Papas, Owen Elliot-Kugell, has a clear message to share about her mother’s cause of death: “There was a ham sandwich, but she didn’t eat it and she didn’t choke on it. So enough with the jokes.”

And there have been a lot of jokes, for almost half a century, including by Mike Myers as Austin Powers.

Who made them dress like that?
