Remember, remember the 10th of November: 20 000+ protest tuition hikes

Finally, after months of preparation and planning, Quebec students took to the streets to protest against tuition hikes. The number of protesters is estimated to be upwards of 20 000.

These students want a tuition freeze and a stop to the proposed sixteen hundred and twenty-five dollar tuition hike proposed in the Quebec budget.

Approximately two hundred thousand students were technically on strike on November 10th, but many still went to class. 

At UQAM and Dawson College though, students stood in doorways forcing the school to cancel classes.

Shafia trial resumes

The Shafia trial resumed Tuesday after a delay due to illness. It's been an emotional trial so far.
