Tonight in Montréal. Protest against bill 78.
3 journalists arrested.
300* protesters arrested.
CUTV, independant media, was attacked 5 times by the riot police.
BILL 78 :
NEW QUÉBEC GOVERNMENT RESPONSE to tuition hike crisis and student strike.
After the batons, now they take away our civil right to protest and our freedom of speech.
« C’est pas une loi spéciale qui va nous arrêter! »

If only Québec Police could : not follow the orders, put flowers on their batons and take the streets with students and citizens against that corrupt government!

Québécois students don’t give up! Protests are happening every night since a few days..
I went to the student protest in Montreal tonight and took a bunch of photos. I will be uploading a few more in the coming days. From my experience, it was peaceful and had a nice atmosphere. It was also declared illegal…? (the protest is over tuition hikes that have resulted in student strikes lasting 10 weeks and counting)
Message from the population to our Prime Minister. This isn’t even photoshopped.
Actually, it is photoshopped!

Mais encore, FUCK YOU CHAREST!
« The Government of Quebec wants to increase university tuition fees by 75% over the next 5 years.
Most students are on strike since February 13th (over 60 days!) to show their disagreement with the decision.
Show them your support if you agree that education is a RIGHT, not a COMMODITY. »
« As an act of solidarity and a symbol of our escalation campaign as a student movement in New York, we are launching a “Red Square Campaign” in which allies wear the very same red squares pinned to their chests as the student strikers of Québec. We do this in solidarity with
the student struggles in Québec, and to signify our shared struggles against the neoliberal corporatization of our institutions of higher learning. We will wear the red square because we share a common vision of a truly free university.
Thank you for being an inspiration to students everywhere, despite the colonial borders that separate us. We are together in this fight. Nous sommes ensemble.
Solidarité,
Brooklyn College Student Union »
