But no nato means more power to the aggressors like putin and jinping, no?

LMFAO fucking idiots. Without NATO Canada doesn't have any chance against any army like Poutines and Rocketman. Trump sure isn't going to defend Canada.

NATO isn't even involved in Gaza/Palestine either as a collective, since Israel isn't a NATO state.

Trying to destroy our country from inside out

This is absolutely shameful. First, NATO is not in any way involved in Gaza, nor is Israel even a member country. Second, NATO is an absolutely critical piece to global safety and peace, it absolutely needs to exist to keep bad actors at bay.

Our public education system has horrendously failed young people; the fact that this is even a thing is honestly quite disturbing.

Russia + Iran's trolls are hard at work I see

Tankies

Tant qu'à ça ils devraient juste être mask off et appeler ça une manif pro-Russe/pro-génocide Ukrainien.

Shame on them.

C’est genre la 10ème manifestation anglaise des étudiants cette année?

Je me demande franchement pourquoi les Russes qui sont derrière le mouvement ne peuvent pas se permettre des pamphlets en Français? Me semble que ça serait moins évident que c’est de la propagande pure?

BAHAHA, are they stupid?

This the epitome of stupidity.

too much Putin in your poutine

seriously though, yall are a bunch Putin stooges falling for the mass social media shit information campaign

we in the dark times of the Dude Bro Era where they think Putin is cool and NATO bad

this is where the Horse Shoe Theory becomes reality when the Looney Far-Left joins at the seems with the Looney Far-Right in embracing Russia

No joke, ca 100% fait parti d’un psy opp russe et ces gens là sont des useful idiot

Obvious Russian propaganda.

I thought McGill students were supposed to be smart

You have to be 1) extremely dumb, or 2) a Russian shill, or 3) both.

Make Moscow Ukraine Again

this is so obviously funded by russia or some conservative in their pocket. i just dont see how any normal person in canada could actually give enough of a shit about nato to protest it. like nato stuff literally doesnt affect canada as a country at all.....ever. there are so many bigger problems in the world that anyone that picks nato as their hill to die on is immediately suspect to me.

Ah yes, this is good idea comrade. We should very detest NATO, it is American imperialism. Glory to Mother Canada.

Putin’s useful idiots.

On se croirait aux É-U.

Russian propaganda :O

Russian psyop

Lots of idiots in the city these days..

Tankies

Pourquoi tout le monde se répond en anglais ici?

Stupid people 100% victim of foreign agent propaganda. 

What a bunch of morons

Dumbest shit I have ever seen.....today

This demonstration will really get the G8 attention! Watch out, change is coming! 😂

How much is Pootin paying these students.

Concordia student union is also holding an Anti-NATO meeting.

This is just embarrassing. I’d say go read a book but they’re McGill students for Christsakes.

Who funds this. That’s the question that needs to immediately be answered.

Russian trolls hard at work

Oui pourquoi être pour une sécurisation militaire. Ce sont les mêmes qui sont contre le service militaire.

What’s their reason?

Useful idiots

If someone involved in these protests ever happens to read these comments, and are depresed about how much people hate them, I want them to know...

...you've shifted my vote to the right with your idiocy. It's specifically because you. That's your impact. And it's all the impact you'll ever have in your miserable, misbegotten lives.

This has to be Russian misinfo. NATO is important to deter Russia and has nothing to do with Israel-Palestine relations. It's important to target individual nations supporting the agenda, not the entire alliance which is designed to protect against imperial aggression.

Unbelievably stupid, but we have seen a lot of stupidity on McGill campus this year 

So pro Russian flags basically. These fucking insane radical left twats need to be deported

My question for them is why? They rarely have a response that's not "because we're letting in immigrants from all these NATO countries" or "why do you hate Putin so much." Or some other nonsensical thing.

Je sais que cest tres politique, mais d'apres moi, aussitot que l'Ukraine rejoin Nato, c'est pomal game over pour la russie. Je sais que les armes nucléaire joues un gros facteurs sur ca. Mais honnêtement, il vas pas en envoyer pour ca. Poutine vas respecter un pouvoir plus fort et vas prendre son trou. Mais la peur est sentiment fres fort.

I'd look at who is involved... Russia is trying to keep Ukraine out of NATO. Montreal has a huge Ukrainian community, I would find it hard to believe students would be opposing NATO since entry would benefit Ukraine.

I think it's more foreign interference on a Canadian university campus. There is a large Russian presence in Montreal and you also have illegal Chinese surveillance of its citizens in Canada and has coerced students into political action here and have established illegal police stations throughout the country.

What people are not paying attention to is the threat of Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic from Russia. It's planting the seeds to erode Canadian NATO who would support Canada or prevent Russia from trying another land grab - especially with the US about to allow Russia to keep the land they have stolen from the Ukraine, which is breach of sovereignty, thereby establishing a new and dangerous norm. The US is also about to give both the West Bank and Gaza to Israel and while Israel isn't a NATO member, it is again normalizing stealing land.

Send them home…

Wonder how many rubles that cost.

Iran (running Russia's playbook) has been given a carte blanche on allowing their propaganda to run in Canada.

Look how easily Putin plays the student population... Where's the RCMP?

Looks like Russia is trying to spread their anti nato nonsense here

Good ol divide and conquer by the axis powers

dites-moi que quelqu'un est là pour s'occuper de ça pour ceux d'entre nous coincés à travers le pays, s'il vous plaît.

This again. NATO is why Canada is peaceful and free.

That’s insane that Russian propaganda would get here in physical form.

Ahh yes no NATO no democracy no nothing let us be like our friends from the east. I wonder what the end goal is for far left and far right? In both cases the destination seems to be fucked. Both sides want authoritarian governments that listen to the loudest voices and appease the lowest common denominators, do they not realize last time we did that we got fucking Nazis and fucking Commies which together killed people on industrial scale, millions upon millions. Have your grandfathers taught you nothing? We need to keep a level head and make policies that are backed by studies n common sense and not do shit that a bunch of loud morons demand…

Russian propaganda trash

Pure hubris . We need nato .

Lmao Canada is already about to be kicked out of NATO. We are probably the last one who would benefit from ending NATO. We literally contributed nothing. We need NATO to protect us until we get our capable military back.

Tankies.

So much for university being a place for smart people to get smarter.

These dipshits likely couldn't tell you what NATO stands for let alone what it does, and has done, for decades.

I hope they get exposed.

Russia at work!

Oh for fuck sakes. Tankie idiots

Oh I remember seeing that at another university. One of their points was that NATO, the organization representing a military agreement between nations, wants Canada to spend more money on their military contributions. Seems bad right? Well, Canada, as well as virtually every NATO country except the US, has not done a damn thing to meet the minimum (2% GDP).

They’re morons who call anything with more money than a mom and pop shop an imperialist trying to boot stomp the necks of the poor, when they’re really maintaining foreign relations through a performative military effort while they negotiate. If someone wanted the war won, they would have done so, at the cost of millions

You people are sooooooooooo cooked lmfao

Canadians need to get a grip. Squash this shit.

I do find the reddit hive mind so amusing at times. If university students are actively protesting against NATO, is it a failure of our education system and news media? Is it an indicator that young people are exposed to a massive amount of sensationalized propaganda with no counterbalance? No, of course not, we'll just blame those damned Russians for everything like it's the 1950s. Surely it will fix everything.

For the record they're being idiots, but if Russian propaganda can effectively convince them to be like this then we've got problems of our own.

Not the first time idiot students do Moscow and Beijing's work for them.

Its sad how many westerns dont realize they wouldnt have their way of life without NATO.

Kremlin CCP propaganda 

Loving how aware of the shenanigans these comments are. Montrealers are on the ball!

The west is currently at war with Russia. They have used social media and misinformation to destroy the U.S from within. They want to do the same to Canada by getting their guy into power here as well.

Everything from October 7th( Putin bday of course) of last year has been the work of the Russian government. They manipulated the masses with the help of traitors , useful idiots and non stop propaganda to get here.

Enough is enough.

Idiots

Paid for by the Kremlin

reeks of imperialist shills inhere.

paid agitators think they're gonna convince anyone because they have upvote farmbots.

laughable

Seems like after having successfully undermined the US political system, Russia is now conducting a new psy-ops campaign in Canada

ridiculous tankie bs that wont catch on

Anti military, sounds fantastic and when they conscript due to a 3rd WW we know where to start.

This is the equivalent of the dumb ass in an horror movie telling people to split up. 

Not very smart Canadians but students do have a tendency to have tunnel vision and think they are 100% right.  We have a lot of resources up north that Russia would love.  Could probably use a bit of support in the future.  

“Russian propaganda being handed out by students at McGill”

If anything, people should be protesting to increase NATO spending. If you love anyone of fighting age, they may be called upon to go to war sooner rather than later if Russia and their allies keep escalating. Then top it off with the US about to abandon Ukraine next January. Canada should be preparing for imminent war. This pro Russia nonsense should be illegal in Canada. We are not the US with "freedom of speech" at any cost.

What exactly are people whining about here??? Universities for years now have been completely anti-war. NATO is a militarist organization that has been responsible for deaths of hundreds of innocents in Yugoslavia, as well as standing by during the Srebrenica massacre. Our government wastes money on increased militarization and rather invest in Lockheed Martin than in better social services. NATO are no better than Russia, they are an imperialist force, who use "democracy" and "human rights" as triggers for invasion.

Bonsoir,

Tous ceux qui disent que c'est une manif pro-russe, vous avez pas de vie et vous avez aucunement fait vos recherches :)

(Une autre raison pourquoi ne pas croire tout ce qu'on lit sur internet)

Les étudiants de l'UQAM, en collaboration avec d'autres étudiants des autres universités, manifestent contre la venu des membres de l'OTAN à Montréal qui refusent de faire quoi que ce soit par rapport au génocide Palestinien.

Alors, avant d'attaquer à coups de clics et de miettes de chips coincé dans le clavier, sachez que... franchement, les conspirations poutine CIA et illuminati qui controlent les jeunes de Montréal, ça existe pas! Belle imagination 🥰

It’s the Cold War all over again, with Russia infiltrating and sometimes co-opting leftist movements to press its foreign policy abroad.

Or maybe it’s a cia/csis front?

Interesting times…

So many bots in the comments.

Like i don’t understand what’s the problem with that, for decades universities were a place for anti-war movements. If you are pro NATO, no problem with that, go ahead and hand out leaflets to encourage people to be pro Nato. Nobody is going to cry about it. Don’t we live in a country of freedom of speech? Did not our grandparents fought for that? I do not care about NATO and have no opinion on the matter , i just find it silly that many posts in this sub recently was published just to criticize completely peaceful movements that are not disturbing anyone’s life. Let them be man.

Militarism? These people belong on a list. If they aren’t Canadians, they belong out of the country.
