Topic 1: Algoma International Students Strike to Win
After hundreds of international students at Algoma University in Ontario received a failing grade for an online course, they got no explanation. For most of them, the course is mandatory and it wasn't the first time they had been failed without knowing why.
As international students, their status is precarious and depends on completing school. Their financial situations are also typically strained, often the targets of exploitation by employers and landlords. They couldn't afford another go at the over $3,000 course - and they just knew something wasn't right.
So they started a strike - and they won. Listen in to find out how.
Topic 2: Israel on Trial
Israel is at the Hague, in the International Court of Justice to defend themselves against charges of genocide in Gaza.
Our hosts provide a rundown of the South African case against Israel, and the defence presented on Friday January 12th.
We also talk about the recent strikes in Yemen and Canada's involvement in it all.
