The number of students on strike in Quebec dwindled considerably Monday as people at several colleges voted to end a civil-disobedience campaign.
After three more votes Monday to end the strike and one vote in favour of continuing student protests, the tally now stands at six to two among junior colleges, called CÃGEPs in Quebec, in favour of returning to class.
Some university faculties will remain on strike after votes in favour of continuing demonstrations. Some CÃGEPs and university students have yet to vote.
But the vote results prompted a few student protesters to lament the demise of the cause.
