Students at Concordia, McGill strike to protest tuition hikes for out-of-province students

Several students at Concordia University and McGill University recently went onto strike against the Government of Quebec’s tuition hikes for out-of-province students. Students stepped out of their classes from Wednesday to Friday last week to call on the government to reverse the tuition hikes. “By striking, we’re hoping to create a big disruption to the system and show the lengths we’re willing to go to, for the betterment of future generations of students,” said Arts and Science Federation of Associations mobilization co-ordinator Lily Charette.
