400k people took to the streets in Montreal a few days ago.  initially spurred on by tuition hikes, then the gov't passed a reactionary bill to try to shut down the student orgs behind protests and appear to have severely miscalculated, leading to a battle.

@Torie_$$: the view lurking behind your idea is that education is a product to be purchased like any other, in accordance with the market logic that has treated you so well.  many people do not believe this to be necessarily the case; still others of us would consider your attitude to be dystopian.  if it makes us "brats", we're done for.
