This chapter considers the Canadian student movement from 1964 to 1974, a tumultuous decade scholars refer to as the Sixties. It situates campus protests around rising tuition fees, access to higher education, student participation in university governance, complicity in the Vietnam War, and reproductive rights within the postwar context, characterized by the Cold War, the Keynesian Welfare State, the Baby Boom, and global upheavals. It outlines: (1) activists’ belief in their role as agents of social change; (2) their commitment to the (vague) postwar rhetoric surrounding democracy and human rights; (3) the simultaneous focus on issues immediate to their daily lives and broader economic, political, social, and cultural debates; (4) their use of both disruptive and non-disruptive tactics, especially after obtaining seats on decision-making bodies; (5) the relative tolerance of on-and off-campus authorities to student upheaval; and (6) the local and global influence of Sixties student movements.
