Why this intolerance of different opinions in our beautiful campuses and country? Why are we doing this to our universities and societies? Why can&#8217;t we exchange ideas and enjoy debating them anymore? Why aren&#8217;t we allowed to freely think and write anymore? For God&#8217;s sake, this is supposed to be a place of higher education, learning, and of discovery! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make no mistake: Today, it is Dr. Rima Azar who is the target of a cancel culture (since February 22, 2021).  Tomorrow, it can be anyone of you\/us anywhere, not just at Mount Allison University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If you cannot read the above article, you may wish to check the PDF file below.
