Students 1-day Occupy Montreal Street and University

Last week ended in violence as police clamped down on students in Montreal.  The student movement in Quebec is in full career, now three weeks in, as protests escalate against rising tuition and other costs to education.

This week began with L’Université du Québec à Montréal students occupying a campus building and street. “When the administration caught wind of the students’ idea, they closed the building that the demonstrators planned on using.  They responded by breaking into the building, taking back their art supplies for the “creativity night” and moving the event to the DS building on Ste. Catherine and Sanguinet St.”  More at The Link.
