Student leaders in Nova Scotia are intensifying demands related to tuition, housing protections, and divestment. Saltwire reports that the Canadian Federation of Students–NS has announced a provincewide student strike for March 2026 calling for a 20% tuition cut and the elimination of differential fees for international and out-of-province students. They are also calling for divestment from fossil fuels, arms manufacturers, and non-consensual projects on Indigenous land. Meanwhile, student unions at Dalhousie University and the University of King’s College are urging the province to strengthen rent control and deliver a promised student housing strategy. NS NDP Leader Claudia Chender stated that without swift action, the province risks driving away students and undermining its university-driven economy, reports CBC.
