Strength in Numbers in the Student Movement

We here at WSU were all very excited to hear that John Milloy was present at the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario’s weekend general meeting for a lobbying session viz. the province’s impending release of a renewed post-secondary education strategy.

The presence of executive members from the over-thirty students’ unions represented by CFS-O meant that the Minister was able to hear how, all across the province, tuition fees are creating unjust barriers to education. I’m sure if Milloy does his math, those schools represent about 300,000 university and college students from across the province.

All Carleton, University of Ottawa, and La CitĂ© collĂ©giale students were represented at this meeting, and, frankly, it makes me happy that we’re adding our sway to the collective leverage of most of Ontario’s post-secondary students.

So much better than trying to go it alone…
