I.. the spring of 2020, the commitment to offer a voice and with implementing the IRP barred

McGill Daily published two
articles and a statement about
an anonymous complaint levied
againstaMcGill University student
and the then-recently-elected VP
Internal of the Students’ Society
of McGill University (SSMU),
Declan McCool.
The articles related to, and
commented on, the following
situation: shortly after the SSMU
clections were completed in
2020, the McGill Engineering
Undergraduate
Society (EUS)
received
an
anonymous
complaint of sexual violence.
The complaint identified McCool
as the perpetrator. Under the
Involvement Restriction ~Policy
(IRP) - a then-newly-implemented
process established to investigate
and act on complaints of any
inappropriate conduct, such as
discrimination, harassment, or
sexual violence - a hearing of the
complaint was conducted.
An
anonymous tip was
submitted to the Daily; informing
it that McCool had been found
responsible and sanctioned under
the IRP. The information was
accompanied by a letter from
the complainant, who did not
disclose their name. The Daily, in

safe space for survivors, and
finding the issue as accordant
with public interest, published
the information and the letter.
The publication was followed
by another published letter
from the complainant, which,
among other iterations, called
on McCool to step down from his
SSMU position
The information appeared,
at that time, to be factual. It was
supported by the outcome of the
hearing in question and accepted
by the Daily without deeper
investigation.
New facts have since come to
light with respect to the case that
warrant an update. Had these
facts been known or foreseen at
the time of first publication, they
would have materially impacted
the Daily's decision to run the
story or, at the least, affected its
tone and content.
For one, the IRP hearing did
not permit McCool to know what
he was accused of or by whom. His
sole participation in the process
centered on questions put to him
regarding
his
understanding
of consent by a committee of
students. No questions about the
specificallegations
were put to him

a Superior Court order unsealing

the material, with witnesses’
names redacted.
The
exhibits
and
full

investigation report contained more
facts previously unknown, shedding
new light on the complaint.
The full Lacroix investigation
report and its supporting exhibits
are now public. McCool deserved
fairness and was denied it. He
deserved due process, a voice, and
complete information 5o as to be
able to make a full and complete
defence. DPS regrets any distress
this situation may have caused.
The Daily is committed to
providing honest coverage
of news events and fair
commentary and, albeit a
stranger to the proceedings
which
impacted
McCool,
recognises its role in the

unraveling of his story. Public
opinion is a powerful court, and
as members of the media, we
strive to adhere to principles
of fairness and transparency —
the staples of impartiality. The
Daily is sensitive to the harms

experienced by McCool. This is
not a story due for repetition.

Faucet Debate Overh-eated

IIY j ENIFER PAUI.O ShT

1t seems that the December 2000 issue

of The Plumbers Faucet has become a
pringhoanl for a deeper look at misogyny
in Engineering. Well, being a woman in
Ill)' third year of the Mechanical
Engi neering program, I felt it maybe time
to put mytwo cents in.
To begin with, it is true that women
ha1·e a hard time in Engi neering. In fact,
you may he surprised to know that men do
too. Our faculty, lik any other faculiy at
McCiill , i a r 'rychallengi ngone. Any prob ·or or administrator I hare crer dealt
with h:c· ·xpected that erery student in
their program belongs there and will do
their hest,
of race creed, and
least of all g•nder. In other words, I have
nerer had the unfortunate experience of
haring to deal with th is disturbing sexism
that Erica Wei nstein and Peter Flcgel
speak of. You might think I're just been
lucky, hut I prefer to think that my c:L'iC is

CAMPUS

fairly common among females in
Engineering. I don't den)' that some people have had bad experiences here, as I'm
sure there have been plenty of in other
departments across c;unpus.
llowever, it's closer tobeing a series of
isolated incidents rather than the distasteful flavor of the entire program. As for the
Faucet, I cannot make statements as an
editor lx.'C ause we hm·e collectivelychosen
not to speak on this issue for now. If readers cannot
our sincere appologyfor
our mistakes, perhaps they can take comfort in knowing that tlm.'C issues from now
we will be gone, and a nL'W staff can start
with a clean slate.
I think what distnrils me the most in
all of this is the stance of Anjali Mishra. I
don't mind hercriticismofThe Faucet-on
the contrary! Anyone, including Anjali,
has the right to point out when something
goes wrong. What is bothering me is her
l:tck of upport for the faculty she represents. The fact that she felt our appology
belonged in The Daily, in tead of being
hidden in the folds of our own obscure
paper I she roughlyphrased it I disgusted me. lfThe Dailynt'l'tled to anunendfor
something publicly, woulll they print it in
The Tribune? This comment sounds eren
more idiotic when one gets to the end of
her letter, where she says we hare hundreds
of readers. I'm sorry, but I think between
the hundreds of readers ami the less than
flatterin):i publicity we've caused ourseh·es

pver the last month, obscure is not an
appropriate adjective.
Most disturbing out of all this though
isMs. Weinstein's and Mr. Ficgel's claims of
misogynyrunning through the veins of the
EngineeringUndergratluate Society. No
one, to the best of my knowledge, is trying
to silence Anjali. Again, she has the right
to saywhatever shewans as a woman and

Mishra's decision to write the letter to The
Daily was an inappropriate one.
"(Mishra] is the official spokesperson of the EUS, and when she speaks,
she does so on behalf of all of us," he
said. "lt is necessary then that the statements she does make shou Id be
approved by EUS council."
While DcSimini agrees that the
Plumber's Faucct article was offensive,
OcSimini thinks that Mishra did not need
to take her concerns public.
"The executives did not want to deal
with an internal matter on an external
platfonn," he said. "By going to The Daily
with her comments, [Mishral was not handling the situation in the best wa}', :Ls far as
we're concerned."
Alcx Whitchouse, one of the editors of
The Plumber's Faucct, agrees that the
"Earth Girls arc Easy" articlewas demeaning to women, but he says that it was not
intended to be mean.
" It is a sexist article, but we felt it
was in a grey area,'' he said. "While it
did make fun of women, it was not serious in its intent. The author didn't
mean it."
In the Fauccl's masthead, it reads,"Our
policy [sic[ is toaccept illl}1hing we rcccirc
unless it contains content that is racist,

homophobic, or sexist."
Whitchousc points out that the
Plumber's Faucct has issued an apology for
placing the offending article next to the
one about the Montreal Massacre, but not
for the article's actual contents.
"We would like the issue to be
dropped," said Whitchouse. "Whate\·cr is
done, is done."
Erica Wcinstein, a U3 arts student and
Events Co-ordinator at the Women's Union,
is outraged not only at the Plumber's
faucct, but also at the EUS.
"I though that the initial article was
abhorrent and irresponsible on the part of
the Plumber's Faucct," she said.
"The article was in no way satirical, it
were playing on stereotypes. If the editors
didn't rcali7.c that those comments were
racist and sexist, I don't know what planet
they're living on."
Weinstcin thinks that Mishra did the
right thing by "going public" with her criticismof the article, ami says that EUS

Catherinc arc still in a state of workplace limbo despite a legallyapprored vote
to unioni7.c in Norcmbcr of last year. The
franchise
appealed the legality of the
vote, and the workers arc left wailing for a
from the Quebec Labour Tribunal,
set for March 30.
During the interim period, executive
members from the Peel St. location have
been working with their parent union,
Confederation des Syndicates Nationaux
(CSN), on fundraising and training projects. Both union leaders and union organizers admit that the high employee
turno\'cr rates in fast food restaurants
mean that their hard fought victory at
Peel could sli11 away, and they know that
by appealing to the courts McDonald's is
betting on the same thing.
Seventeen-year-old Pascal McDuff,
an organizer of the unionization drive
and \'ice-president of the local. doesn't
see himself abandoning the· union he
fought to create C\'en if that means stayon at
after he finishes

T

CEGEP.

"Worki ng at .\tcDonald's is boring
and tiresome; nobodywant · to stay here

forever," he said. "But, of course I want
to stay and protect the union . I know
that they want someone like myself, or
one of the other organizers, to quit.
That would be a victory for them. But
we have fought for this and we won't
quit now."
McDuff says that it is lime for
McDonald's management to face up to the
union, and come to thebargaining table in
good faith.
"We arc a union now, but we still aren't
getting our respect. We won't have the
respect we need until we negotiate a collectiveagreement, the sort of agreement all of
our members want," says McDuff.
The workers' arc exp&lt;.'Cted to issue several demands, focusing on improved
salaries, safer working conditions, more
say in their working hours and a Clearer
policy on promotions. Currently, burger
nippers and cashiers who have been working at the Peel St. McDonald's arc paid
$7.15 per hour after one year on the job.
They said they will seck to raise that number to $8, the rate paid at a llarvey's
restaurant that is also represented the
CSN.
Under the stewardship of the
Quebec's l:ugest umbrella organi7.ation for
labour groups,
and a number of
others organized a union l'otc hl't summer, before filing for certification on

August 2. Of the store's 44 workers , 75 per
cent voted for unionization.
But the same day the application was
made, franchise owner Michcl Marchand
worked feverishly to bring in 24 new
cmplorccs and force a new vote, a move
CS officials call indicative of McDonald's
notorious disdain for organized labour.
CSN President Marc Laviolcttc says
that McDonald's rL'Cent court manoeuvres represent yet another attempt to
thwart the process of unionization of
their franchises.
"McDonalds is stalling for lime in the
courts. They arc hoping that by pushing
back the date (at which ]they have to negotiate with the union the large turnover will
allow them to deccrtify the union," said
Laviolctte.
But Laviolctte says that the CSN is
detcnnined to fight for its workers rights at
the Peel St. franchise.
"The union is secure," he said.
L.1violette says that he is not afraid that
McDonald'swill simply close down the Peel
St. franchise the \\"JY the St. llubcrt franchise was closed after a successful union
dri\'c in 1998. .
·'The McDonald's on Peel and St.
Catherine is the
largest in Quebt.'C .
They make money from it, theywon't shut
it down:·
La\'iolene says that
and

other McDonald's owners should stop wasting resources resisting the union, and
instead focus on hammering out a collective agreement.
"Marchand should bargain with the
union. He won't close his McDonald's
because people arc unionizing. He'll still
make money, but the young people want
their share."
He hopes that success at the Ped St.
location will encourage young people at
other location. to instigate a union drive.
"[The

right that is in the charter and yet you have
to go underground to fight for it," said
Laviolctte. "The youth across Quebec can

that we ha1•c the ability to unionize any
workplace, no matter how anti-union.''
CSN has a unionisation I'Ote pending at
another McDonalds franchise in the
area. at Rawdon injoieville.

location, refused to be illlcrviewed for this
story.

he news broke last weekend.
Rumours were circulating that the
QueOO: government was about to
reneg on a promise for S400-million. The
on-campus powers-that-be wasted no
lime. Student lobby groups prepared press
releases and protests to chastize the
province. University administrators
accused the education minister of outand-out lying. And SSMU? Thl')' wasted no
lime either. If the province had plans to
continue to dcpri\'e its unircrsities, SSMU
cxecuti\·es were not about to stand idly by.
Thursday afternoon, just days after the
rumoured cuts hit the papers SSMUexecu-

T

lives revealed their plan of action: hit students up for a fee hike, one more time.
In all fairness, SSMU executives V.'Cre
heard right alongside student lobby groups
and university administrators criticizing
the province. But just how mighty was that
message to the province when the SSMU
executives turned right around and
showed they had no reservations about
simply going to students for more money?
Our execs were talking out of both sides of
their mouth every time they said student
life would suffer without public rein\'esl·
men!, on the one hand, but that students
can afford another fee hike on the other.
With lobbyists like that speaking for us, it's
hardly surprising that the provincial and
federal governments feel that students can
withstand the continued retrenchment of
public funding.
One can only hope that students will
bear that in mind next Mar. 6-8 when a
referendum question asks them if
they are willing to cough it up for yet
another fee hike.

nCL&gt;d to clarifya ituation that inl'oh·es the
society. We feel that gcncraltiublicopinion
has been unfairly turned again t the EUS
council.
There h:t\'e been disagreements
amongst the EUS executive 01-cr certain
issues during the past year. The cxecutil'e
·finallybrought the matter to council in an
attempt to rectify the situation, although
\I'C are told that they did so onlv &lt;tS a last
resort, after havinganemptcd repeatedlyto

For this reason, theE Scouncil onJan.
30 decided to conduct its meeting behind
closed doors, since it invoh·cd an internal
EUS matter. The situation brought to us
that on numerous occ:tSions in the
past the EUS President had used her llOSi·
lion as a platfonn to voice her (X!rsonal
opinions and feelings on certain issues.
Whether or not her opinions were justified,
they were on sel'eral occ:Lsions not representatil'e of those of the EUSexecutil'e.
The final and most infamous case of
this concerned articles published in the
December issue of the Plumber's Faucct. 1t
certainly is the opinion of both the EUS

council and the EUS executive, that the
content of these articles were both offensil·e
and insensitive. Following the publication
of the paper, the E S executil'es
approached the Plumber's Faucet editors
and demanded that they publi h an apolo·
gy for the articles. The Faucct editors consulted immediately with POWE
(Promoting Opportunities for Women in
Engineering), as well as theAssociate Dean
of Engineering. lt was agreed by the EUS
executive and all parties concerned that the
apology hy the Faucct editors would be
published in their next i ue.Since this
\'iC\\cd ItS a faculty issue and the Faucet i

Faucet controversy.The demands included a
public apology froi)J the EUS and the editors
of The Plumber's Faucet, mandatory cultural sensitivity and anti-oppression training
for Faucct staff and EUS executil'es, and a
promise that racist and sexist material will
no longer be published in EUS-affiliated
publications. Most of the demands were met.
But after tensions ran high at the meet·
ing, some of the students said that they felt
that many at the EUS and the Faucct had
failed to understand just how deeply
offended they had been by Dec. 6 Faucct

speaking out against the Faucet.
