'We Could Be on Our
Way to a Canadian Spring'

“People see that what the students are fighting for – while centered
on tuition – is all about inequality and accessibility.”
– Sid Ryan, Ontario Federation of Labour

You've Made the Canadians Angry.
You Shouldn't Have Made the Canadians Angry.

Over 100,000 protesters marched through Montreal on May 22nd in 'the
single biggest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history'
against tuition hikes and the draconian Bill 78

'If the Government Wants to Apply Its Law, It Will Have a Lot of Work to Do'
"There are tens of thousands of citizens who are against this law who think that
protesting without asking for a permit is a fundamental right. … That is part of
the objective of the protest today, to underline the fact that this law is
absurd and inapplicable." – CLASSE spokesman Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois

'Ten Points Everyone Should Know About the Quebec Student Movement'
"10. The student movement is part of a much larger emerging global movement
of resistance against austerity, neoliberalism, and corrupt power."
