Students to Protest in Toronto Streets

Posted By: Michelle Rosa · 6/5/2012 6:18:00 AM

If you live near George and King Street, your quiet evening will be interrupted.

College and University students from across Toronto are being urged to wear as much red as possible for another protest march in solidarity with Quebec students and to say the tuition problems here have to be resolved too.

The biggest march is expected to start at 8 o'clock Tuesday night from George Brown College downtown, then they will make their way over to Ryerson University.

According to one Facebook posting, more than 50 separate marches known as 'casseroles" are being planned nationwide.   They're called "casseroles" because students, labour groups and others are expected to march while beating pots and pans.

    I saw the ads for this protest, and they were calling for everyone attending to wear a mask. What could you possibly need a mask for, unless you're planning for your protest to turn into a riot? I hope that the police do the right thing and crack down on these delinquents at the first sign of trouble.

      @Richard Collins Do you know what TIs are? Obviously not. Spend the last 7 - 10 years doing research on this sort of thing or cease having an opinion, please. People like you are why this country is screwed to begin with.
