Toronto student protest: Stand back, don't everybody crowd in at once
..On my way to a noontime event in Toronto, I came across this protest outside Bob Rae’s constituency office. [Correction: As commenter David Reed notes below, the office in question, while used by Bob Rae, is also that of Glen Murray, provincial minister of Training, Colleges and Universities. I should have mentioned this, and regret the oversight in my original post — JK]
It’s an anti-tuition demonstration, called in sympathy with Quebec’s student protesters. The Montreal strikers were able to block entire streets for a time, but then summer came along and the turnout has dwindled somewhat.
Probably not to the sad level of the Toronto event, though. I counted seven people.
Their slogan: “Students. United. We’ll never be defeated”
