Welcome, the Babbling Martlet of McGill!

We're a true international movement now

O Canada. Land of hockey, snowfield, maple leaf and crazy, crazy wokeness, against which the US cannot even hope to compete. After all, we have the racist, sexist document called The Constitution and its pesky first amendment that allows for hate speech, the kind that hurts other people’s feewings. Our northern neighbors, on the other hand, can openly advertise for a faculty position that gives preference to Black candidates. Oh the envy.

We are happy to announce that our pirate movement is growing yet again. Our dysfunctional babbling/flickering family of beaver, bear and beacon is now joined by the Babbling Martlet of McGill.

The martlet is a mythical bird that never lands. The inability of the martlet to land is said by some commentators to symbolize the constant quest for knowledge, learning, and adventure. Seeing as the academic system completely abandoned its quest for knowledge and learning, the only thing that’s left for the martlets to do is don an eye-patch and embark on an adventure.

Welcome aboard, Martlets! May our movement grow and our constant babbles and flickers drown out the murky wave of academic DEI!
