THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS TO CREATING THE UNION OR WORLD WE WANT: HOW ONTARIO STUDENTS' UNIONS FOUGHT FOR THEIR SURVIVAL

The Student Choice Initiative (SCI) was a policy directive, mandating universities and colleges to create an online platform where students could optout of their membership dues to students' unions and campus groups. Ford purposefully made the opt-out of membership dues an online process because he did not want us connecting with members. The government tried to claim that the SCI brought along more transparency and choice but the court judges rightfully highlighted the fact that students already had that through democratic processes like students' union and campus group elections and referenda. [...]when we saw the Anal numbers of how many students remained members after course selection ended and we won our court challenge against the Ontario government we felt invincible.
