Episode Notes This Wednesday to Friday, over five hundred students at McGill University as well as nine thousand students at Concordia are striking in protest of the Quebec out-of-province tuition hikes. Those hikes will see students from the rest of Canada pay an extra $3,000 per year. CKUT spoke to Liam Gaither, VP External of the Students' Society of McGill University (SSMU), about the uphill battle to build momentum against the hikes, which will largely be felt by future students.
