Rank-and-file pressure begins to shift the Canadian Federation of Students: What are the tasks of student militants?
Over the past month, thousands of students across Canada have joined in massive displays of solidarity with the Quebec student movement. This solidarity movement has not been limited to just students; it has also included the participation of trade unionists, young workers, teachers, and parents. It has even caught the imagination of residents and onlookers who have joined in the casserole-inspired demonstrations marching through neighbourhoods in Toronto and other cities. There has been at least ten solidarity demonstrations organized in Toronto alone over the past six weeks. The largest of these demonstrations had 3,000 people marching on a single evening.
