If you can think of an effective method of getting your word across without protesting let me know. I can think of one: Terrorism.

This isn’t a bad idea but the problem is that the budget will be passed in april and it’ll be much harder for the government to dish out 103 million then rather than now. It seems to me that supporting the already growing strike is the best way to get heard right now. If we put enough pressure for 3 days or a week on the government, cause one day just doesn’t say enough, and if we don’t get the money then we could go ahead and not pay or tuition fees. But we have to try as hard as we can now because we can get our money back and alot of other schools are doing as much as they can while we aren’t. Nobody has any brighter solutions right now and even if you find strikes radical they work. </p> <p>Also you can’t say that Concordia students are just looking for any reason to skip and protest because 70 000 are already protesting others are joining and we have just began to mobilize with or 1 day strike. It took a long time before we began talking about striking and CSU pulled that assembly together at the last second and I was very disapointed by how unorganized the assembly was. Holding cardboards up and taking a rough appoximating is a pathetic way to hold a vote. Why don’t they use the concordia portal and hold the voting on the portal for a day. That way many more students would vote and the student would be better represented rather than by a 700 person quorum.</p> I went to to the assembly on Wednesday and somebody brought up a very interesting way of protesting the cuts; next semester we all register but nobody pays the tuition fees.
