On my way back from getting a chest x-ray done, I saw a demonstration while waiting for a streetcar. It seemed to be Ryerson students petitioning the provincial government for lower tuition rates. I doubt they will have much luck with that, given the mood of austerity, but it’s good to see people making an effort.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

The protest is organized around the goal of having the 30% tuition reduction, which the Ontario government promised, apply to everyone. As of now, it applies to only about 30% of students. It excludes, most importantly, ME!
