do we have a thread for Quebec protests?

Strange. I saw that on TV and a big part of protesters aren't students.
I suppose it's a vent against Charest, with the support of the population, according to polls, despite doubts expressed about that by some poster.

Population has nothing to lose from protesting, as far as I know.

Yes, I saw French news covering it and there was a support demostration in Paris this week.

Have you done any protesting, Max?

I did the March 22 one and one in Sherbrooke with the FAÉCUM in Sherbrooke.

The one with all the arrests? Good that you didn't get in trouble.

No, Sherbrooke in early April.

Apparently a bill was passed whereby protests of more than 80 members are supposed to inform the police before doing anything.

Talk about authoritarian laws.  Power to the People of Quebec.

Unfortunate that Jean Charest would basically have to murder someone on Quebec television for the PLQ's support to consistently stay below 30%.

Even then, Liberals would over 30%, they would just change leaders.

And I associate the Conservative "tough on crime" crap as left-wing... in the sense that it costs an irresponsible amount of money

The worse is than it costs next to nothing to federal government, because the cost are to be paid by the provinces, which is terribly hypocritical.

Especially when those governments are struggling to subsidize the unrealistic education demands of a bunch of angry students.

Oh, if only...
The cost of cancelling the hike are lower than all money lost in patronage, gifts to Liberal donators, various shaddy deals with construction industry, fake reports and overbilling.

I'm not opposed to the idea of an hike, but, given all the mismanagement scandals in universities in Quebec and all the money given by government to its friends/donators, I fear than more money isn't wise.

That government should doesn't have any moral authority to increase any fee or taxes given all its scandals.

I don't mind paying for services, but I do not want to pay gifts for Liberal donators.

Reducing the current crisis to scolarity hike is wrong, as it was only the flame which ingnited all the resentment against Liberals.
