Tonight's demonstration started from Emilie Gamelin Square at 21h like it has been done every night 27 times on the row. The march had barely started that Montreal's police forces (SPVM) declared it illegal according to the new law 78.
Things rapidly went bad as riot police charged the protesters half an hour after they had started. Several groups went in different directions, turning Montreal's downtown into chaos of riot police chasing protesters.
At the time of writing there are already 116 arrests according to police forces. Several people were beaten by riot police. One protester was seen unconscious on the ground after being beaten down in the face by riot police. His state remains uncertain. Rumors circulating on Twitter tell him dead but that remains unconfirmed by police forces.
The student strike started over three months ago in all major Quebec universities and colleges because of the tuition fee hike announced by the government. Weeks and weeks of negotiations did nothing to bring closer student representatives and the government. Last week Line Beauchamp, the Minister of Education, quit her job. Since then Jean Charest pushed for a "special law" to be implemented: the law 78. The latter prohibits any gathering of more than 50 people in Quebec. The law demands such gatherings to ask permission from the SPVM 8 hours prior to taking the street.

Part of a small photoshot I did at the Diefenbunker, while attending Ottawa Linux Symposium. This picture will be part of an article I'm currently writting on medical technology.
This piece of medical equipment was used as a vaporizer for N2O, a well known anesthetic and analgesic.
Color vibrance were modified in the post-processing phase. I tried to go for the same look they use in the well known Monocle magazine. Kind of "noble" type of photography, injecting defect that are the fingerprint of the great camera of yesterday.
Also posted on blog.pacharest.com. The picture was taken with a Sony Alpha 100. 1/80 sec, f/2, 50mm, iso 320, ev 0+.

250,000 people demonstrate against tuition fee hikes. Quebec has had the most student strikes against tuition hikes, and as a result, the lowest tuition in N.A.. U.S. students for their obedience, now have a $850 billion debt bomb. Mexico education is free.
Manifestation du Frapru: "Charest, Bachand, ça prend 50 000 logements!"
«Plusieurs centaines de citoyens venus de diverses régions du Québec ont manifesté au centre-ville de Montréal, samedi après-midi, afin de réclamer plus d'argent pour la construction de logements sociaux dans le prochain budget que doit déposer le ministre des Finances, Raymond Bachand.
Le Front d'action populaire en réaménagement urbain (FRAPRU), organisateur de la manifestation, demande le financement de 50 000 nouveaux logements sociaux sur une période de cinq ans.
Dans un communiqué émis samedi, le FRAPRU a dénoncé la réduction de 70 millions $ des investissements en logement social dans le budget de l'an dernier.
«Non seulement le gouvernement Charest n'a-t-il annoncé que 2000 nouveaux logements sociaux à l'échelle de tout le Québec, soit 1000 de moins que par les années passées, mais il n'a donné aucune espèce de garantie quant à l'avenir», a souligné le coordonnateur du FRAPRU, François Saillant.
L'organisme estime qu'à travers le Québec, 261 000 ménages locataires n'ont pas un logement adéquat : celui-ci est insalubre ou surpeuplé ou trop cher en proportion des revenus du ménage. De plus, il y a un manque criant de logements disponibles dans des régions comme l'Abitibi et la Côte-Nord.»

Here is a snapshot of St-Boniface church in San Francisco.
It was built in 1860 as the German National Church of San Francisco where father Sebastien Wolf was the Pastor. In the subsequent years (1887), the Franciscans took charged and had it rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake and fire.

The 33rd night demonstration in a row in Montreal. First it was defiant protests against the government's intention to raise tuition. The government then instituted Law 78 to essentially outlaw student demonstration and crush their militant associations. That backfired. All our demonstration are now illegal, and thousands gleefully participate in LOUD mass civil disobedience, taking the streets. Wednesday, 500 of us were arrested. Then the "Casseroles" (pots and pan) protest exploded. Now the protesters are mostly regular citizens. The police have backed off. How do you fight ordinary people armed with pots and pans? People from North America are coming here to experience this major uprising. What's next?
