Police Gas Student Protesters In Quebec
Earlier this week we reported that the Blockupy movement — supporters of which set fire to the streets of Frankfurt earlier this month in an anti-austerity protest timed to coincide with the grand opening of the ECB’s new headquarters — had apparently spread across the Atlantic to the streets of Montreal where students describing themselves as “an association of young communists and anti-capitalists” got tear gassed, sound bombed, and shot with rubber bullets after they failed to provide police with an itinerary as to what they planned to vandalize and when.
Just days later and aggrieved Canadian students are at it again, this time in Quebec City where hundreds gathered to protest austerity measures like shorter library hours. Here’s more from RT News:
Students in Quebec City were sprayed with tear gas by Canadian police after holding an ‘illegal’ gathering to protest the provincial budget. A brief scuffle broke out before law enforcement officers began randomly gassing the demonstrators.
Hundreds of students, some traveling from as far as Montreal, had gathered in front of the National Assembly to protest the Quebec government’s budget, which had been table on Thursday.
The demonstrators wanted to hold a protest in front of the National Assembly to show their disgust at cuts to services such as healthcare on campus and library hours. They were met by a line of riot police in full body armor.
According to reports, this group made the same mistake as the last group by not providing police with an itinerary thus rendering the whole endeavor illegal from the get go and so in the end, the outcome was largely the same: some folks got gassed..

I though that only the U.S. was a police state?
Its a worldwide phenomenon. The only thing left in the global ecomony that's growing like crazy,
Interesting how RT covers the riots, unlike most of the Canadian MSM stooges. But of course RT is a russian disinfo agency.. just ask Psaki.
BTW, notice how the Journalists are not being threatened or beaten by the police, unlike the USSA? Gotta give the Canucks credit, they are not in full fascist mode, yet.

Right in the face. come at me bro.
Cowards behind those masks.
Normally one would be outraged, but they are Canadian French liberal art students...
an association of young communists and anti-capitalists
they were protesting cutting library hours. but dont communists like it when the government makes them share?
Officer Safety says "Hands up slave!"
Watch 0:11 carefully.
That cop walks up to that girl and point blank fires that tear gas motor into her face.
Cops are heroes. Don't you know that?
They are finest or bravest or some sort of bullshit like that. Just ask them.
Of course some of us think this is just legalized thuggery. We'll remember when SHTF. We'll remember.
No.
Communists like it when YOU share with them.
They don't share shit.
Wait until they raise the drinking age over 18.
sacre bleu
Not to mention that pro-communists have nothing to learn in a library anyway - the gubmint takes care of everything!
Instead of using tear gas, would you have rather had them bash their skulls in with batons? Or how about a double tap in the chest once and for all?
The police where soft on them.
Well, when you tear gas someone in the face, directly, WITH A FRICKIN' EXPLOSIVE SQUIB...
That's a recipe for blindness, deafness, injury, and death, as sure as any other method.
Just let the cops shoot the protestors with real guns. Eventually, the protestors might learn something.
re “I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.” – Jay Gould
It says something about the cultural plus religious values of such a "working class". Specifically... this is historically accurate: You can always get Christians and Muslim to fight & kill among themselves and each other.
When was the last time in history that you saw Jews fighting and killing each other -- unless it was in the corporate boardroom? (I may be opposed to Zionists, but I have to respect the 'Jews' for their cohesion and support of each other -- unlike so many 'Christian' cocksuckers that I know, or know of). "Virtue is as virtue does", I say.
Something to think about. "We have seen the enemy, and he is us" comes to mind.
p.s. Some of you may want to junk me for pointing out this truth ("shoot the messenger"), but it does not change the truth itself.
Really?

PPS-For comparison’s sake, consider these other groups that make up 2% or less of the world’s population:

Jainism: 10 million

Er, I personally had to intervene when a Lubavich Rabbi infiltrated our anti-zionist demo in Trafalgar Square and proceeded to punch the face of a Neturei Karta rabbi who was stood with us in solidarity. Amazingly a line of pigs watched this assault and did absolutely nothing. The Lubie couldn't punch for toffee so restraining him was not hard, but he was absolutely raging. The Neturei Karta point out that their Rabbis have been systematically murdered for almost 100 years by zionist Jews. Oh, and let's not forget Yitzhak Rabin, assassination for a change of heart. Oh yes, the Jews are a civilised bunch, only murdering Goyim, NOT.
well Harper is every bit the zio stooge us prez candidates are.
he's also, presumptively, a Cylon.

The 'Grope and Flail' seems to reinforce your opinion: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/
(it might be in there somewhere, but my principles kick in after viewing their glaringly partisan quackspeak for more than 30sec; then I begin retching and black out- mb you can find it)
About G&M, I just love how they ask you to pay for their crappy content now...
These 'students' are only upset because their ancient black female studies in the 19th century major isn't living up to the expectations of today's work force.
They still pay the LOWEST tuition fees in all of Canada/USA. They're hippies, and should just be happy to be able to live off the tit that feeds them (aka regular taxpayers with decent jobs).
Indeed. Its nice to see some young communists getting their heads bashed in.
TrollFTW
Sadly I can only award you one upvote. I bet most of them have never set foot inside the library.
You're a fascist fk head. Watch 0:11.
See here the slime that turns up on ZH.
That's sombody's daughter.
You're not funny and you're not smart. You're a shill or your head is filled with shit. Either way, you should have tear gas fired at your head at close range.
Yeah, I watched the video at :11, turns out the broad (who is indeed someone's daughter, most likely of a harlot) decided she wanted to be in this mix of shoving showing her support for her precious Feminism and Vaginas 101 course.
I'd say you're an imbecile if you weren't a fuckface imbecile.
Naaaaa, Quebec has a long and colorful history of radicalism but it's usually the French speaking population trying to secede from Canada.Last time there were any real socialist radical's up there was the 60's-70's era....
The police state is healthy and growing in Canada.
If it was truly a "police state", wouldn't they have simply mowed them down and dispense with the weak unpleasantries that only tear gas can deliver?
Please child, get over your police state bullshit and go back to looking for Mossad false flag operations, at least it looks more scholarly.
FTW:
So where are the American riots?
(by middle class people)
I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... www.globe-report.com
As a student I prefer the gas more than the pepper spray. What I've found works best though is if the students can keep Yellen till the FED goes up their FAFSA.
It's best to order the deluxe combo with a side of fries. It's part gas, part pepper spray and it's FED up into your FAFSA using an enema bottle. And of course, you can have regular or sweet potato fries...on the side.
Braving tear gas and cop batons over library hours? I wish we were that kind of rowdy here in the states.
There would be full-scale riots here if they decided to stop televising March Madness. Different priorities...
Spring is always the start of riot and protest season and it looks to be a good season this year....
Those aren't tears, that's liberty rain bitchez!
pods
And that's not gas - it's happy clouds!
Are those protesters really students?
Probably quite a few on the payroll as is typical of "communist" protests. No doubt plenty of "Reds" reared with a silver spoon, then a small contingency of kids who probably cant spell red. Probably quite a few with politcal careers promised in the future, should it come. RInse, repeat.
Hey -1, I guess I'm supposed to be supportive of (reportedly) self proclaimed communists? Dang, I'm behind the curve.
You must be paid. I find it hard to believe a ZH reader could be sooo stupid.
" We gassed some folks. "
Give 'm free 2-year community college, a beer voucher for $200/semester, and some tail and they'll be happy.
No they are paid protestors because in west everything is fine bitchez .
Students protesting shorter library hours? Is that code for something else? I never went to the library when I was in college and that was.... a good while ago. They gotta be pulling our leg.
I went to the library on a daily basis.
It had the most comfortable chairs for sleeping in between classes.
We went to the library to steal furniture. Back then tuition
was cheaper than the tables we boosted.
Spring Breakers,,,,,,,,good times man ,good times!
"rovide police with an itinerary as to what they planned to vandalize and when."
WTF??
Yeah, when it's white people, it's vandalism (sometimes downgraded to just 'mischievous behavior'). When it's black people it's looting.
That's what you were asking about, right?
The difference between burning your own house down, or having a stranger light the match.
NAPA has no respect for property ownership because everything they have is given to them for free. (EBT, section 8, healthcare, etc...)
Vandalism = Breaking Shit
Looting = Taking Shit
Vandalism + Looting = US Foreign Policy
re:"provide police with an itinerary as to what they planned to vandalize and when."
Geezer, I think the author was tongue-in-cheekily referring to new laws dictating that all Canadian protests must have an official stamp of approval from the entity being protested, or else
I hope sweater chick can read braille.
I'll never understand why protesters don't wear safety glasses. You can get a good pair for under 10 bucks, and you know you're going to get pepper sprayed, so why not protect yourself?
you shoot me, I shoot you. a machine gun would do the job
Ice T lyric goes here
"We concussioned some folks"
Boy, didn't take long for the Canuks to catch up with the nazi u.s...
IS that you Alex Jones?
LOL....Don't need AJ to explain nazism / fascism to me.
Can't imagine what your doing here at ZH... Try fuzzy Rushbo's site. Ditto head might be more to your style.
Steroids have no borders
Non-lethal self-defense weapons like pepper spray and Tasers have become OFFENSIVE weapons used to deliver extra-judicial punishment.
When citizens use them, it's assault. But when the Praetorian Guard uses them, they enjoy qualified immunity.
IDF training...you can fire a tear gas canister at a kids head and if they die, well, it's an accident isn't it.
Leave it to the ZH fever swamp to somehow finger this as a Mossad false flag operation. What pathetic bullshit.
sacré bleu!!
Jumpin' Jacques Flash is a gaz, gaz, gaz!
They may be students to you but, they are OUR kids!!!!!!!
The French (incl. Quebecois) have balls. Feds keep cutting Corporate taxes (in order to remain competitive on a Global scale...click...whirrr...click...in order to remain competitive on a Global scale.....click...) and pay for the tax cuts by cutting public services, transfer payments etc.
And they shoved cops?! Way to go Kids!
Might be a video of some mouth-breather firing a tear gas canister directly into a girls face....perhaps the Quebec police recently received Israeli training in lethal-non-lethal tactics?
Not a single tax-payer in that mob for sure!
Citizens. Doing what they used to in the olden days.
Freeloaders that have bankrupted the province!
Looney left wing socialists from looney left-wing marxist universities ticked off 'cause the other guy ran out of $$$!
Ezra Levant is that you, and this what you have been reduced to?
Lol! Too bad they closed those dudes down. nothing but the plain unvarnished truth that nobody wants to hear!
... well, at least you got that very last clause right.
otherwise it seems Mr. Levant's plain, unvarnished truthiness = "libel"
http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/11/27/ezra-levant-loses-hate-speech-ca...
Looks like the freshly minted Sharia Law lawyer got his first decision!
Sure, a decision supporting the individual's right to not have defaming lies repeatedly posted about him; though I confess that doesn't sound particularly 'Sharia' to me.
But then I don't have to agree with everything someone believes in order to afford them the same rights that I enjoy.
All in the guise of "hate speech" laws. Oh yes, how very democratic!
Absolutists suck absolutely.
No 'guise' guy, just Justice.
Seeing as you appear to need a primer:
Disseminating lies about someone you disagree with in order to ruin their life: unjust
That someone receiving recompense from you for damages done: just.
(IE If your position is actually righteous, then truth will always suffice.)
And
Democracy to protect the masses from the individual
Plus
A Constitution to protect the individual from the masses
Equals
Just society (or as close as)
ahh, but maybe their parents are ... or did I forget that part of my life?
And even so, that entitles them to a tear gas canister in the face?
Nope but when mobs rule all bet are off! What the heck is that brainwashed kid doing there in the first place? Her union-run marxist schooling is subsized beyond belief! The only thing that socialist don't protest is socialism itself! These deluded kids are a product of their delusional/oblivious visionary teachers - who by the way have very comfortable protected careers & pensions!
Right on. If Ooe of these policemen's lives were threatened and started shooting, the howling and cackling we would hear from these yentas.
They go ahead and use the the non-lethal tactic, still ain't good enough for these lousy hippy fascists.
The best they can do is yap about Mossad false flag operations somehow being involved. The same old fever swamp nutcase act and it is surely getting ripe man.
Dependents of taxpayers who can't find work or afford a house.
Cue Joplin..."nothin' left to lose"
Those are the ones that scare the FCMP (Fascist Canadian Mounted Police) the most.
When did the feds ever cut transfer payments to Quebec?...Those kids pay tuition costs of pennies per day because of federal transfer payments. Whiney little phucks.
The Serre de Q are whiners too.
Just a warmup for the NHL playoffs!
Crybec worships a guy that dives. PK Embellishment.
I hope Krugman is paying attention, this could boost GDP,
exporting tear gas is an added benefit to busting windows.
Allons enfants de la Patrie..............................
It's time for police brutality to face justice.
Note to protesters: When you start pushing cops around bad things happen!
Canada has had it really good the last 5-6 years compared to the rest of the world. If oil stays below 60 much longer that country is going to turn into a bonfire. Canadians are some of the most spoiled, self entitled people in the world.
Long riot gear and police barricades on the TSX.
@Foodstamp...
You're either not from Canada or you live in Ontario!
Difference here in Kanada, is that we're screwed over by our gubamint, covertely, as opposed to in your face like in Amerika...
Like I say, we Kanucks are just too dumbed down to say anything or do anything, and our increasingly prominent police state is doing their very best to keep it that way.
I'm a duel citizen, born in Halifax Nova Scotia and raised in Burlington Ontario, where I lived till I was 30. Most of my family still lives there. I know exactly who Canadians are, thank you very much.
Apology accepted.
Halifax has been riding the coat tails of the rest of Canada forever ( see, welfare state) and Burlington (bourgeoistown) is so far removed from a major city center that they wouldnt know austerity if it walked around in drag with a bullhorn...
So, yah, I can see where you're coming from...
You're welcome!
I'm a Montrealer and born in Quebec...
The youth here are just as disillusioned as American teens.
They cant find jobs, they cant afford rent, they cant even protest (without first obtaining approval from police)...
They were protesting against severe austerity measures imposed by our provincial and federal governments...
We Kanucks are swimming in the same sewer as ya'll in the USSA...
Thank God our youngins have the energy and balls to protest, cause us older folks arent lifting a finger to bring about any change...like I've said before in my comments on this blogs, we're really dumbed down here in Kanada.
Another shining socialist success story!
Solution: Drastically reduce all forms of government to the most essential services only. Get the government out of education ESPECIALLY because all they have done is increase costs exponentially & use the platform for political means!Let people keep their money. Work & grow! Everything else sucks! Stop whining 'cause its gettin' on my nerves!
Er, apparently you have somehow failed to notice that over the last four decades Canada has been neo-liberalizing harder than Gary Allen coats the back of your throat.
Lots moar of this comin' down the pipe I'm afraid!
I'm out West in Kanuckistan. Wancouver.
The problem seems to be that a large contingent of Canadian society still seems to believe the fairly-tales taught in school. Trust government. Trust institutions.
There is a decent chunk of Canadian society that is too lazy or scared to pull back the blinders. I know some of those types. When shit hits the fan they will be in bed with government pronto. The next thing you know, your (former friend and) schoolmate is a guide. "This way to the gas chambers buddy..."
News flash for the FSA:
Governments all over the Western world are BROKE. So, you can stand up and create/get a job, or fight harder and harder over a smaller and smaller pie-encouraged by the elites of course.
I think your 'you can stand up and create/get a job' is the solution! Time for the pity party to end. Forget the blame game for lack of success. End the socialist nightmare!
shorter library hours?
Seriously why not just hire minimum wage librarians and keep em open 24/7?
Librarians got a waaay too sweet Socialist gig, well over $100K+ benefits a year for a minimum wage job.
Or protesting healthcare? When its 100% subsidized! The faculty of those wacky universities can shoulder lots of blame for putting crazy marxist thoughts into these kids heads! It is unreal what gets taught to kids today! I feel more sorry about that than any tear gas!
So.... students in Canada's version of Alabama are protesting because their ghetto province has no money? Maybe they shouldn't have such stupid fucking laws against business. Seriously, you can get fined because your store sign is written in Chinese or English but not in French. They try to make running a business as difficult as possible.
http://abacusinsider.com/marketing-advertising/canadas-worst-provinces-2...
They actually have a dedicated police force that is tasked with going around and measuring the size of the english letters on business signs. If the english letters are larger than the french you are fined repeatedly until its fixed. There are instances where people have done jail time for not fixing their sign. Total insanity! I hope the place goes up in flames.
No propaganda here, "we're russians and now we get free healthcare"
Riiiiight
self-described communist students? Use bullets on them. The last thing we need in the western hemisphere is more barack obama types who want to use other people's hard earned money as if it were their own. Time to pay the piper-time to be self reliant-which all those mis-informed, self described "communists" must learn. They think communism is their ticket to laziness-when in fact a communist regime would relegate every one of those able-bodied "WORKERS" to the coal mines. Stupid kids who have been brainwashed by their 60's retread moron college professors who fled to canada to escape the draft here. Communist utopia is a death sentence from black lung for every one of them.
More or less. Extortion of the tax-payer is definately their specialty! Incredibley sad the lack of 'values' that have not be instilled by these teaching wierdos. Self-entitled welfare state! Close those universities asap!
Either that or they believe in free sex for all, minus responsibility for the babies as our social programming has influenced us to want. Why? Because welfare is good for the government, and lack of personal responsibility makes you dependent on their hoard of stolen cash.
SO in essense these stupid proto-communist/fascist protesters are demanding more of their enslavement, because they cant seem to realize that dependency is not liberty.
I live in Canada, it's always a half-step away from being a police state. Fundamental rights don't really exist here, especially when the Notwithstanding clause is factored in. Its all about what the government (provincial or federal) wants to grant you at any given time. So it could be good, it could be bad, but that's largely out of your hands.
Canada = government 1st, citizens 2nd. Its always been that way.
Its all about big government protecting itself! Reduce the size & scope of government! Every socialist regime turns out the same way. Loss of privacy, liberty and freedoms!
Phhh...it's Crybec. The SQ and the students went to a protest and a hockey game broke out.
Good.. Get a job damn hippies.
The kids are fine. Most are very bright & promissing but have been demoralized by mindless institutionalized 'social' education. The root of the problems can be found in their 'textbooks!' Dumbed-down worthless 'liberal arts' education turning unknowing students into social zombies. Failed shamefully pathetic self-serving education processes is where you can start!
Well, at least yor screen name indicates which class of earthlings you are a member of.
Just incredible the heavy handed tactics used by Western nations, tear gas, pepper spray, steel batons, water cannons, rubber bullets and in some instances live rounds. Remember 2014 when the boneheads in Kiev were rioting and throwing molotov cocktails and beating police with steel pipes? What did the US and EU say to the Ukrainian authorites? Don't be heavy handed with the protestors. LOL LOL Duplicity and hypocrisy at its finest!!
FUCK THE FREE SHIT ARMY!!!
Next thing you know they'll create a hippie drum circle that will show them what government force really is.
However if you play death metal they will leave. Hippies hate death metal. And I hate hippies.
Eric Cartman..lol.
Cannibal Corpse, turn it all the way to 11.
Fuck the free shit army!
As much as they seem to rebel against the state and the powers that be, what they're really asking for is ever bigger state..from cradle to grave....Quebec's population has a sense of entitlement that is ridiculously high but the reality is that we - and I say we because I'm from Québec - cannot pay and have not really been paying for all the services we have been receiving. The socialist left is always chastising the right for not having a higher sense of Man's rights and Man's needs and Man's this and that, but they will burn everything to get all they want NOW and, as we say in French, après nous le déluge ( After us, the flood )...One thing is sure, these kids have not heard very often the word «NO!»....
On the other hand, the police everywhere have been getting frighteningly «New-World-Ordery»....
Make your own Chemical weapons they are easy to do. When they use chemical weapons on you return the favor.
It requires brains to weaponize chemicals and a delivery system to go along with it.
But you're not going to have the brain share to do so when the rabble have degrees in sociology and art history.
.
anytime "an association of young communists and anti-capitalists" gets their pansy asses gassed, im one entertained mother fucker.
It is the end of Democracy and freedom when you can't carry out a protest without obtaining permission first.
I was at work today and doing some banking at a branch off the corner of Bloor and Yonge St in Downtown Toronto.
At the moment I stepped away from teh bank machine I see the cops directing traffic on the street as the York University teaching assistants marched in a prosession protesting the fact that York University won't raise their pay. Not sure what the fuck marching down a busy thoroughfare will do seeing as it's the universities problem and not mine.
York University is one of thee WORST when it comes to breeding the next generation of pinko communist pricks!!!!!!
Fuck em all!
Government needs to get the fuck out of the student loans business. Just dump it!!!!! The problem will correct itself.
After seeing several videos of the same incident I'm convinced if they (or any protest group) organized and learned a few group tactics the police could be overrun. Thin line of bike cops? Where are the Berlin style petrol bombs?!
