There's a massive student protest today in Montreal. It starts at 1:00 p.m. at Place du Canada in downtown Montreal. It's part of the student strike against the neoliberal policies of Jean Charest's corrupt Liberal government (Maurice Duplessis certainly would have been proud of him). The student strike has been gaining quite a lot of steam over the past month and now more than 200,000 students in Quebec are refusing to attend classes to protest rapidly increasing tuition fees and the utter lack of intergenerational equity. If you're in Quebec or close to it I encourage you to show up and support the students in their struggle for an affordable post-secondary education system. Check out the video below for more information on the situation:
