So many great shots but my favourite is the lone protestor.... Sometimes it just takes one voice to make change happen. Congrats to Ontario students able to receive 30% back on university tuition.

Nice pics. But... It's 'mannequin', NOT 'manikin'

[Karen Russell]

I like the lone protestor as well. lThe composition of the photo, the back drop and the clothes he wears helps support his message- lower tuition.

[Bob]

There is no such thing as "Canadian Geese". They are Canada geese.

I like the pic of Rajai Davis' play. It made all the highlight reels that night and was talked about for a while.
