Federal NDP leader Jack Layton talks to U of T students Jessica van Vliet and David Nam in front of the SAC building on Monday. Layton’s appearance was in support of Rosario Marchese, NDP MPP for Trinity-Spadina. A crowd of several dozen students came to hear them speak about election issues like rent control, marijuana decriminalization, and tuition freezes. “We don’t believe that tuition should be a barrier to education, but it is,” said Marchese afterwards. “The NDP says it would reduce tuition.”
