Quebec s Fight Is Our Fight

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: ''The mass student strike in Quebec ... has metamorphosed into what must swiftly build in the United States, a broad popular uprising.... The Canadian students have gathered widespread support because they linked their tuition protests to Quebec s call for higher fees for health care, the firing of public sector employees, the closure of factories, the corporate exploitation of natural resources, new restrictions on union organizing, and an announced increase in the retirement age.''

In Montreal s Streets, the Movement Continues

Ethan Cox, Rabble: ''If there was any confusion over whether the suspension of strikes at most schools signaled an end to the broader social movement the strike generated, it was put to bed with an emphatic bang Wednesday in the streets of Montreal. The largest demonstration since the spring sent a strong message that this movement is here to stay.''
