About

Reports on student protests at Concordia and McGill, two universities in Montreal, Quebec. Students opposing neoliberal austerity measures blocked a road outside of the luxury condo belonging to Concordia's president. Meanwhile students picketed on campus, attempting to bring a halt to normal university operations. Liberal premier Jean Charest is currently overseeing massive hikes in tuition fees. Students have joined the strike movement in record numbers and are increasingly turning to radical measures to get their point across.
