La langue, les classes sociales, les
origines, le campus, le quartier
Autant de barrires qui ont toujours
divis les tudiant-es dans leurs
combats et continuent dafaiblir le
mouvement.
Language, class, race, origin, campus,
neighbourhood Tese barriers have
divided students in their struggle and
continue to weaken the movement.
Pourtant, noublions pas ce qui nous
rassemble: un ennemi commun, un
gouvernement nolibral qui fait la
sourde oreille aux revendications de
la population, des menaces concrtes
laccessibilit de lducation, une
emprise grandissante du secteur priv
sur les services publics, un systme qui
nous plonge dans lendettement.
Yet, we do not forget what brings us together: a common enemy, a neoliberal government deaf to the demands of the
population, a concrete threat to the accessibility of education, a private sector intent on seizing public services, a system
which forces us into debt.

Les vnements du 10 novembre
dernier nous convainquent que
tous les tudiant-es doivent dpas-
ser les frontires traditionnelles qui
les divisent pour combattre toute
hausse des frais de scolarit et la
marchandisation de lducation.
Te events of 10 November
confrm our conviction that
students must transcend the tra-
ditional boundaries which divide
us in the fght against tuition hikes
and the commodifcation of our
education.
Pour la gratuit scolaire, soyons so-
lidaires, coordonnons nos actions,
unissons nos voix pour combattre
ensemble le gouvernement!!!
For a free education we stand
in solidarity, we coordinate our
actions, we unite our voices to fght
together against the government!!!
Te solitudes in solidarity. Les soli-
tudes solidaires.

in low-paid work without union
protection especially young
women, aboriginal youth and youth
from racialized communities. Youth
unemployment is far higher than

Big business needs an educated

families to pay using credit cards,

More mass mobilizations on
and off-campus, sit-ins and strike
action are needed. Mass struggle
and cooperation between the
students and other movements,
especially labour, is the only way
forward that can effectively defeat
reactionary governments and win
accessible education.
By marching in the streets on
Feb. 1st, the students are joining
a struggle that needs to grow and
deepen.
Now is the time to act and
keep going.
Such an approach can
succeed, escalating the struggles

These student struggles in
Quebec and the rest of Canada are
connected because in Ottawa all
students face the Conservatives who
are tryi ng to smash basi c
democratic, civil and labour rights
with their agenda of police, prisons,
poverty and war.
Take the mass arrests at the
Toronto G20 summit, or last years
evictions of Occupy, attempting to
silence dissent.
Take the Tories omnibus attack
on human rights crime bill, or their
tearing up of Canadas Kyoto
commi tments. The Harper
government are also denying the
right to strike, like they did with the
Postal Workers.
Last week the Harper Tories
announced deeper and quicker
budget cuts and more major
transformations.
Stopping this attack and bringing
down the Harper Conservative
government is the first major break
towards a peoples alternative
agenda.
