Episode Description

In November 2019, the Divisional Court of Ontario struck down the Ford government's Student Choice Initiative (SCI). Next week, on March 23 and 24, his government will be back in court to appeal the decision.

This week, The Journal's Editor in Chief Raechel Huizinga and Assistant News Editor Cassidy McMackon discuss the attempt to bring back the initiative, which had a significant impact on funding for countless groups on Ontario campuses. They look at the history of the SCI, the impact it had on the student experience, and Queen's role in next week's proceedings.

Today's podcast features original music provided by The Queen's Music Production Collective, QWAVE. Both songs, Collective and Taia were created by the producer thenheturnedaround
