Nothing is Impossible or impossible is nothing?

Posted on 10 March 2010

At this point, I feel as though I am a victim of this power struggle and as York U’s admin encounters the CUPE 3903, the possibilities that attack me are wearing me down. As York U puts it, the power to redefine the possible. Or, to be more precise, as CUPE 3903 puts it, demand the impossible. Continue Reading
