Hey there, time traveller!

Students and families affected by the record-breaking faculty strike at Brandon University have scheduled a meeting tonight.
The meeting, which will start at 7 p.m. in the lower-level Salon A of the Keystone Centre, will provide an update — from the parents’ and students’ point of view — the latest strike information, as well as a forum to hear views and suggestions from families and supporters on how the strike can be ended and the scholastic semester be saved.
A Facebook page has also been set up for concerned parents (click here) and those who can’t physicaly attend tonight’s meeting can participate via webinar (click here).
The meeting is open to anyone interested in helping to return students to class immediately, organizers say, including parents and families, students, supporters, administration, faculty members, or government official.
Organizers say that with no other mechanism in this dispute for students and their families to have a meaningful role in the process, this is an opportunity for them to be heard.
Negotiations between faculty and university administration are expected to resume this afternoon, after faculty rejected calls for binding arbitration.
