Massive Protest Brings Montreal To A Standstill

I've read some reports that as many as 200,000 participated in the strike. Looks like many of them may have made it to the protest too.

Kudos to the youth of Montreal for keeping it peaceful. They could teach Vancouver a thing or two.


I think it is a different situation. Vancouver hockey idiots angry over losing vs Montreal students that have a genuine issue.

It was so lame when the police were saying 'this wasn't the hockey fans, it was a group of anarchists' when every damn news station and youtube video was clearly showing jersey wearing hockey fans destroying the city. Off topic but yeah... hockey idiots vs students with real issues... lol

$2500 a year? Try $800 a course (science)

I'm glad they're fighting so they don't get to that point but hell, I can't feel sympathy still slugging at my Uni debt. I wish we had set annual fees, that would be amazing.

Oh, we have plenty of hockey idiots here in Montreal, and we had quite our share of riots and post-game vandalism (especially after winning, go figure... Well, we'll be safe on that count for another few years, likely...). Also, I recommend you do a little research on our yearly Anti Police Brutality protests... The cause is relevant, but the results are rarely Gandhi-esque.
