Fédération étudiante collégiale du Québec

The Fédération étudiante collégiale du Québec (FECQ) (in English : College students federation of Quebec) is a federation of college student unions, created in March 1990 after the failure of the 1989 strike (its first motto was «Plus jamais la grève!», in English: The strike, never again!). The FECQ mainly use lobbying with political parties to represent the students interests. At its peak, the FECQ claims to have represented 23 student associations and over 72,000 CÉGEP students[1] - however, there is controversy about the actual number of members it has.[2][3]

Notable figures from FECQ history
gollark: Ah, but flash memory loses data if it's left unpowered pretty fast. ~~He~~ You overthought the wrong bit of it. Blu ray discs would be better.
gollark: Though websites being bloated messes packed with inefficient programming, JS all the time for no reason, and ads doesn't help. My site is optimized for load speed, and I got core stuff down to about 20kB a page and do aggressive service worker caching, but most sites do *not* do this.
gollark: Web standards are insanely complex and getting more complicated by the day as they pile on more extensions for USB and Bluetooth and WebAssembly (though I like that one) and exotic CSS features.
gollark: <@343573410531639296> Don't blame browsers for the horrible mess that is web standards. With Unicode even TEXT RENDERING is a nightmare. https://gankra.github.io/blah/text-hates-you/
gollark: The best naming scheme is obviously `openssl rand -hex 16`.
