    Students have taken to the streets across London today to protest rising tuition fees there. More than 4,000 police are also on the streets to maintain order after the riots there last August. Estimates put the number of student demostrators at 10,000.

    The banks seem to have colluded with the Universities to rob students of their futures by tripling the tuition fees, making it out of reach of many who would otherwise get a University education. This exact scenario is playing out in the US as well.

    It's much worse in the US. Canada has really good government funding for education and the arts, etc. We should all move there.
