Isabelle LeBlanc, Director of Communications at Mount Allison University said that students and faculty are in mourning after the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. “We honour his sacrifice by lowering our Palestinian flag to half-mast,” Ms. Leblanc said.

“We are also upset at the killing of other leaders in Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Revolutionary Guard such as Fuad Shukr and Mohammad Reza Zahedi. These resistance fighters are pushing back against the Zionist colonialism and settlers, similar to the colonialism right here in the Tantramar Region. We want the same “river to the sea” result here as will be in the current Israeli-occupied territory since we all know that we are on unceded and unsurrendered territory. In a word we want decolonization!”
