Scene: Students Rally for Lower Tuition
WHERE: Queen’s Park South
WHEN: Wednesday, February 1
WHAT: At a rally organized by the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the provincial legislature to demand that the McGuinty government’s new tuition rebates—which benefit only full-time students with family incomes at or below the low six-figure range—be extended to all students. Ironically, this occurred on the same day the first of those rebate cheques were sent out.
