and those supporting this violent law breaking action should be exposed and perhaps charged for supporting
insurrection or sedition.

Those profs or the unions that are financing the violence are enablers no less. I cannot understand how any Ontario dues paying union member that is perhaps putting their kid through university would be happy with the likes of Syd Ryan pissin their dues away.

The violence, throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at those officers attempting to maintain the law is not acceptable and should be met with equal force.

Shouldn't a person attacking an armed officer of the peace expect to be tasered or shot if they are threatening injury? I think so.

You attack an armed officer expect a busted head at least.

These 'students' are being expected to pay the lowest tuition in North America. An increase that just brings the amount when inflation is factored, to the same base it was 40 years ago.


I certainly hope the mob is incarcerated and kept in some enclosure for trial.

Democracy is that scary to you, eh?
All public opposition must be silenced!

"insurrection and sedition" ?
Indeed ... show me how democratic protests in the streets qualify for that designation. Our system DEPENDS ENTIRELY on the freedom of the people to protest.

Election fraud, on the other hand, certainly is an attempt to undermine and overthrow our system of democracy. Seditious indeed!

You expect to get charged. That's how the law works in Canada. Police brutality is illegal. Police don't have the right to give out punishment. That's a matter for the courts.

Ahhh! The good old days! When only the financial 'elite' went to postsecondary! How DARE those poor students expect to get an education, eh?!
How crass that they protest in the streets!
And OMIGOD! All those members of the PUBLI supporting them banging away on their pots and pans! SILENCE I say! DO NOT oppose your sovereign !

Those who've committed illegal acts know the risks they take, but undue harshness in punishment WILL ALWAYS BACKFIRE because it mobilizes more opposition. That is what has happened in Quebec and is reverberating all across the country. Attempts to crush dissent are anti-democratic and will always meet rising resistance.

It's quite humourous that the hardliners think that if they can just punish protesters harshly, they'll all run home in fear. That's just not the way it works. We aren't afraid. Determination doubles with every harsh anti-democratic action.

Harsh and violent suppression of democratic dissent is never a winning strategy.
As you are seeing ...

It's not a protest, demonstration or strike, IT"S ANARCHY! Plain and simple.

Bring it on. I think the same basic under-currents running through these student's protests also ran through the recent Occupy protests and will likely start surfacing more frequently and elsewhere given the cocked-up direction things are going in this country and the world.

Like I said, the more the merrier.

this strike against the wealthy elite is great. its about time young people like myself start to fight back at goverments that take away my rights. i should have the right to free education for as long as i want so that i can develop my skills properly. our brothers in quebec are the only people in this country who have balls of steel. we all owe them a debt of gratitude for their sacrifices. maybe if the rich paid taxes we would have the great countries that some of the forefathers envisioned. we owe alot to all the brave occupiers who are fighting for are rights. nobody even knows what democracy is anymore. the concept of democracy has been eroded. count on greedy capitalist pigs to screw us bigtime.

[Fletch 27]

The students protesting ARE the wealthy dude! They can take an entire year off and the parents still footing the rooming and board? THESE kids are the privelidged... Dont kid yourself.. The student in class understand that the sooner they are out, the sooner they can move forward in a rewarding career!!!!! Your idea of democracy (when only 1/3rd of the students are protesting) is VERY flawed

The students protesting are the "wealthy"?

Can you cite evidence for that outlandish claim?

Because it's pretty obvious that the ones protesting would be the ones paying their own way - ie, NOT wealthy.

Perhaps you still hold the delusion that postsecondary education is only for the "wealthy"?
That hasn't been the case for several decades.
However, as tuition escalated in the past decade, it has become increasingly difficult for any but the wealthy to manage.

That is the subject of the student protests.
Wealth, or lack of it, should not limit educational achievement.

look the definitions up. Their actions meet the test in many circumstance.
Election fraud, on the other hand, certainly is an attempt to undermine and overthrow our system of democracy. Seditious indeed!


Not your business, is it?!
So you want others to have freedom of speech, but deny me the same. Of course it's my business, I'm a Canadian and especially entitled to an opinion as is everyone else

You expect to get charged. That's how the law works in Canada. Police brutality is illegal. Police don't have the right to give out punishment. That's a matter for the courts.


Poppycock, police shoot or taser atackers on a regular basis. Try coming at one with a bat or knife or other weapon of choice.

Ahhh! The good old days! When only the financial 'elite' went to postsecondary! How DARE those poor students expect to get an education, eh?!

The Anglos at universities and colleges for the most part are still going to school, getting an education, and not rioting like buffoons.

How crass that they protest in the streets!
And OMIGOD! All those members of the PUBLI supporting them banging away on their pots and pans! SILENCE I say! DO NOT oppose your sovereign !

Those supporting them are enablers that are inciting riots. If they go past a demonstration, if they don't abide by the law,lock them up too.

We have laws. We have punishments for breaking laws. Those that would ignore,subvert or test the laws with anarchy, violence and destructive rioting deserve to be met with whatever resources required within legal authority. Those that defend law breakers are quite simply encouraging the violence and denying the crimes. I would therefore consider such as enablers and terrorist supporters.
Businesses are being threatened, other citizens, schools, students denied an education, tourism is suffering because spoiled brats want something no other Canadian or North American has, free everything. Who pays? the tax payer and those law biding citizens impacted by the anarchists.

My point is obvious. They are not hard done by. They have no tuition 'cause' but only childish 'wants' as spoiled entitled self centered anarchists.
