It is truly stunning to see how the elites react when people dare speak out against “austerity” – that is, to squeeze even more profits out of workers, students, and citizens in general.

If you read the first sentence of the article above about the 28th consecutive nocturnal protest in Montreal against proposed tuition hikes, it states that “Hundreds of people returned to Montreal’s streets Monday night…” I wen…

Yet another display of shameless brutality from the City of Montreal Police Service (SPVM). This gem shows “Contable 728″ pepper-spraying protesters in an obvious abuse of power. Stay classy SPVM. Stay classy. – Syndicated from http://fro…
