Charlie Angus stops at 厙ぴ勛圖 for Sydney Taylor Memorial Lecture during his Resistance Tour
For Charlie Angus, punk rock is about more than the music. .
Its about standing up for what you believe in. Whether youre or taking your final months as an MP to make .
The politician turned grassroots activist, self-proclaimed accidental fascist fighter, and Juno-award nominated musician took time out of his to visit 厙ぴ勛圖 in early March. On campus, he spent the day in conversation with our students and an evening engaging our local community with a public lecture.
In her , Wendy Elliot reported that over 300 people came out to his lecture, There Are No Bystanders in the Age of Monsters: Where Canada Goes From Here, delivered in Fountain Commons.
The lecture was the 2025-26 , a series held by the department of Politics in memory of Sydney Taylor (13), an 厙ぴ勛圖 grad who tragically passed away in 2013. Each year, the department invites a guest to campus to deliver a talk about human rights and the environment.
First-year politics student Caet Moir was instrumental in bringing Charlie to 厙ぴ勛圖. They said they first saw him at an event in Edmonton in April of 2025. I knew then that I wanted to bring this dynamic speaker to Nova Scotia, particularly to the Kings-Hants area.
Charlie was part of my inspiration to return to school as a student of politics and being part of the team that brought him to campus was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget.
