Understanding Student Protest in Canada:The University of Toronto Strike Vote\n\nJOHN H.SIMPSON*,WALTER PHILLIPS**  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nA behavioural indicator of student protest -voting in favour of a student strike referen-dum-is shown to be positively associated with two social discontinuities accompanyingthe student role:the weakening of ties with the family of origin and an uncertain future.Also,a student's commitment to the social order as measured by a variety of items isshown to be inversely related to favouring the strike.An argument is made that recentstudent protest in Canada and the United States differed in terms of the major issuesinvolved and that the difference can be explained by variation in the valued means ofsocial participation in the two societies.  \n## RESUME\n\nL'article démontre que la question d'un référendum de grève -mesure de comporte-ment typique dans les constestations estudiantines -est en rapport positif avec deuxdiscontinuités intrinseques dans le role détudiant:le relachement des liens de familleet un avenir incertain.De plus,Iengagement de I'étudiant à l'ordre social se presenteen rapport inverse avec un vote positif pour la grèveL'article soutient qu'il existe unedifference entre les raisons principales des récentes contestations au Canada et auxEtats-Unis.Cette différence s'explique en variant les formes ideologiquement établiesde la participation sociale dans les deux pays.  \nWhile the uproar of student activism and protest which swept across the college anduniversity campuses of North America during the late sixties and early seventies hassubsided,the need for informed interpretation of the phenomenon persists.Becausevery little pertinent scholarly material has been published on the topic,activism amongstudents in Canada during that period continues to deserve attention.¹This paper con-  \n*Assistant Professor of Sociology,Erindale College,University of Toronto.  \n**Assistant
