Quebec student strike widens By Guy Charron 1 April 2005
Quebecââ¬â¢s student strike, which began with the walkout of 30,000 university and CEGEP (junior college) students February 23, has now entered its seventh week.
Well over 150,000 students are currently on strike and students at virtually every university and most CEGEP campuses in the province have participated in the strike for at least a day. With polls showing that more than two-thirds of Quebecers support the studentsââ¬â¢ demand for the restoration of the $103 million a year that the provincial Liberal government has cut from the grants (bursaries) given to low-income students, the strike has grown more militant. How do students go on "strike?" :blink:

They'd have been brighter to go on strike before they paid their tuition for the present term.
Do you read Trotskyite news sources often, SST? :biggrin:

Next week, I suppose the hobos will go on "strike."
