Ontario’s judiciary threw a pie in the face to Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government on Thursday, when a three-judge panel of the Superior Court quashed a ministerial directive designed to cut down on “crazy Marxist nonsense” on university campuses. Well, that’s the term Ford used in a fundraising email to describe some of the, shall we say, less conspicuously useful activities that Ontario’s student societies occasionally get up to. The stated goal of the “student choice initiative” was more principled, of course: To save students some money, if they so choose, by allowing them to “opt out of ancillary fees related to student associations, products and special services.”
