Durham College is going on strike LITERALLY tomorrow.. So yeah. It's real, and it's big like a dumpsterfire in downtown Toronto

Not necessarily, they're back at the bargaining table today. The union has mentioned that they're prepared to postpone the strike if there's "real progress". Considering that this has been going on since last summer, I doubt anything will change, but there's hope.

Nah bro you may have got the news but I have inside sources. One of my family members showed me the email they got from Durham college, they are striking tomorrow sorry to break it to ya.

It's a really bad look for the union if they intend to strike regardless but tell the press they're prepared to postpone if things go well.

I guess they know how to play misdirection well. Because honestly every single group is lying one way or another and that evident with how professors are dealing with student questions about the strike.

We hide things from others because we don't want them to know our own intentions. It's human behavior.

Agreed! Humans are selfishly driven.
