CBC: Students mass in Montreal against tuition hikes

About 1,000 students rallied in the rain Thursday in downtown Montreal to protest against Quebec’s decision to lift a long-standing freeze on tuition fees.

The protest capped three days of student strikes in Quebec.

College and university students walked out of classes this week to fight a $50 per semester tuition increase that came into effect this fall.
