The Canadian Federation of Students is planning major rallies at provincial legislatures across Canada today to protest rising tuition fees and the increasing privatization of university campuses. Both the Canadian Union of Public Employees, who represents thousands of university employees, and Ken Georgetti of the CLC are supporting the CFS.
Hopefully these rallies will be successful and will force governments to add increased financing for post-secondary education, which they've been cutting over the last few decades.
Sadly, this students organization (I hate calling them a students 'union') is not affiliated to the CFS.
