Over 100 days have passed since (some) Quebec university students took to the streets to demand that their tuition fees (the lowest in Canada) be kept at their unsustainable levels. Quebec’s efforts to raise rates by $350 per year to achieve—after 5 years—the lowest rates in the country (?) have been viciously attacked by a collage of students, professors, strident unionists and would-be Marxists reliving the unfinished escapades of a deprived youth they never experienced.

One in five Canadians between 15 and 19 is a pretty big number, but it varies widely by province and territory – in Yukon and Nunavat, it’s one-third of teenagers, in New Brunswick, only 14%. Alberta leads the provinces with 26%.
