Despite having to skip class and brave the wind and rain, thousands of Concordia students turned out to march in solidarity with Montreal CÉGEP and university students on Thursday's day of action in protest against tuition fee hikes.
As promised, the Concordia Student Union will be delivering a good dose of the Canadian music scene to the students they represent. In a press release on Sunday, the union revealed that four-piece Montreal outfit Stars and Vancouver-based Mother Mother will grace the stage at the Loyola Quadrangle on Sept. 15, along with hip-hop artists Nomadic Massive and Lunice, two artists that had been announced last week.
A Progressive Conservative Ontario government led by Tim Hudak would cut $30 million in international student funding if elected. Canadian University Press reported that the party plans to reallocate money from the Trillium Scholarship fund to middles-class Ontario families. The scholarship fund was set up by Dalton McGuinty’s government last year.
