I was reading up on the national CUPE earlier and was surprised by a couple things, such as how many members they have and their stance on Israel and Palestine. 570,000 members? It was Wikipedia though, so it's very likely not 100% correct.

Wikipedia is surprisingly less inaccurate that people think.

Yeah, I heard there was a study that said it was almost as accurate as the Britannica but I still hesitate to trust something that anyone can edit. I mean, I have an account on there and though I only use it for discussion I am no expert in anything.

Britannica isn't a scholarly source.

And I've heard that Wikipedia is as accurate as Britannica! |
