J'ai appris aujourd'hui que l'assemblée générale des directeurs et directrices d'#IUT en 2024 se déroulera ... à Nouméa.
On va donc déplacer une centaine de personnes sur 33 000 km A/R et émettre 5,2 t CO2eq. / personne pour "une réunion" 🏖️ 🏄 🌊 sachant qu'il n'y a qu'un seul IUT en Nouvelle Calédonie.

I’m hearing rumours suggesting Poilievre’s fascist friends had a hand in the request to the Speaker that led to a Nazi scumbag being celebrated in Canada’s parliament.
