Forget tuition fees: If anything calls for a riot, it’s Harper’s stealth governance

Too bad they are distracted by an annual $400 raise in tuition, which they could have easily earned by now picking up another part time job instead of burning their city every night.

The hike is $1778/year.
The protest is now about more than just the hike - we have our very own PATRIOT act to combat.
This is something a lot of Québécois care about, I'd appreciate if you didn't just bash it casually.

What I find ironic, is that the youth of Quebec, who are some of Harper's biggest opponents, are actually helping deflect attention away from the democratic joke that is this omnibus bill.

Yeah, and it's so sad that Libya is deflecting western attention from the rest of the western world, right? This is only happening because we moved our fat asses and worked for what we believe in.

USA had their 9/11, look where it's led them.

I say no tragedy, we do this right now. Our lives won't last forever, and if you want to see change anytime soon you have to start working now.

Except in Quebec, apparently. You guys keep saying we're one country with one culture, fucking act like it.

Also,

Fuck you. It's a bit like if you told Murka "Forget about the Koch Brothers (re: Wisconsin protests): If anything calls for a revolution, it’s Barack Obama's plutocratic politics." We have a lot invested in this, it sounds like it's just a trivial bit of pop/intellectual culture to you.

T'as raison, mais juste ce soir, si on regarde les nouvelles, c'est le SPVM qui a foiré.

The tears are from the workload, a lot of engineering students develop substance abuse problems and emotional issues/burn out because of it.

Je suggère "carré rouge à l'étranger" :]

mpierre · 2012-05-20T22:50:33.870100+00:00

Le Carré Noir est soit anarchiste, ou réfère à la censure reliée à la loi 78.

Vouloir des élections est sous-entendu par pas mal toutes les couleurs de carré considérant que la nouvelle loi est fasciste.

mpierre · 2012-05-20T22:48:58.610647+00:00

Que j'en voie un downvoter quelqu'un à cause de sa couleur. Tant qu'à moi tu peux être rouge, vert, blanc, carroté, je m'en câlisse, t'as le droit à ton opinion tant qu'elle est présentée de façon respectueuse.

This law applies to ALL protests, putting so many holds and bars in place that if you even try to legally organize a protest, you're making yourself liable for fines going up to $125 000 if there is the slightest amount of violence.

Before the special law, only student protests were systematically illegal. Now they all are, with enormous fines if you're associated in any way with them - even wearing the red square is "potentially illegal" according to our honoured Education Minister.

Les manifs de nuit ont TOUJOURS lieu. Beau temps mauvais temps.

i_ate_god · 2012-05-20T22:01:49.935184+00:00

C'est du PR.

i_ate_god · 2012-05-20T22:01:26.740493+00:00

Cependant, j'estime que le comportement de la police en général est moins reprochable que les manifestants en général.

De toutes les manifs de plus de 10 000 personnes, je ne me rapelle d'aucune qui soit tombée dans la violence. Ça fait BEAUCOUP de manifestants pacifiques, et quand il y a une vitre cassée, elle a été cassée par une seule personne. Quand une balle de billard est lancée, elle l'est par une seule personne.

Pensons à Victo. Il y avait quoi, 10 000 manifestants? Pratiquement tout le monde a mangé une volée, du gas, du poivre ou une balle en plastique. La violence offensive du côté des étudiants, c'était quelques roches et possiblement une balle de billard - même pas 1% des manifestants ont agi de façon violente.

I'm from Quebec, on average people lose their virginities around 15, some earlier, some later.

TFTS tl;drs are a meme.

Great story! However, punchline shouldn't go in the title :P

-jackschitt- · 2012-05-20T20:21:38.153520+00:00

From 12 to 17, I routinely browsed "CP" websites, really just girls or couples my age doing it in front of a cheap camera/webcam.

Now that I'm 20 I'm not into it anymore, but I tend to think that there's no ethical dilemma to producing your own porn for private use, especially if there's nothing for you on the interwebs.

-jackschitt- · 2012-05-20T20:18:21.069131+00:00

12 is about right for making out topless, if a bit young. I'm a LOT more concerned about the graphic rap music than the pictures, that shit can corrupt your soul.

-jackschitt- · 2012-05-20T20:16:37.835730+00:00

Incredibly dark?

If the girl was three years older I'd barely raise an eyebrow.

I mean, don't get me wrong this is bad, but there are darker stories that pop up here nearly every day.

One of the benefits of having a Linux server: no GUI :D

Ya absolument aucune excuses qui justifie ce genre de comportement.

En fait je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi, j'essayais juste de donner le point de vue des manifestants plus radicaux.

C'est certain que dans n'importe quelle manif étudiante (j'exclus ici le Plan Nord, le 1er Mai et la manif contre la brutalité policière), il y a au moins 95% des gens qui sont pacifiques jusqu'au bout.

i_ate_god · 2012-05-20T20:04:55.558202+00:00

Je dirais plutôt depuis le 22 avril, parce qu'il y a eu énormément de débordements policiers dans le mois qui a suivi le 22 mars - pris au ratio, les policiers ont usé de plus de violence offensive que les manifestants, entre Victo et les manifs de soir qui dégénéraient plusieurs fois par semaine. Ceci dit, ils sont nickel depuis un certain temps.
