| You are talking from what you are seeing on the TV and the Internet. I live in Montreal and went downtown some times with friends while there was protests. Not to participate but just to go downtown in bars. I saw the riot police following the protesters marching in the streets. The riot police in r... |

| From what I've seen, read and heard from others(anecdotes) who have lived or are living in Quebec, the SDQ is not very exemplary of Canadian police or policing tactics. Well I guess the SQ is like the OPP in Ontario. They are dealing with little municipalities and long roads. They are not as equipp... |

Personally, i think it's funny. That's freedom of expression. It's just a painting and he's not THAT bad. I think he has a bigger belly than that in real  |

A riot is not a lawful activity. That's what the law is about. Not peaceful manifestations. |

| I know you are talking about the process but I will add a case that happened in Montreal: Basil Parasiris. His home was stormed by police officers at dawn and thinking that it was a home invasion, he used a gun that he held in his nightstand to fire at what he thought were attackers to 'protect his ... |

| I'm not talking about the militants. I'm talking about the collateral damage. Those who just wanted to educate themselves and could not go to their courses for 12 weeks. I don't care about the spoiled militants who are playing revolutionaries. I care about the normal people who go to school. Well, ... |

So would you say the protestors that have been skipping classes are short sighted? It would point to their gullibility, which does not speak ... |

| People tell me the reception in the far-left French media has been a bit different, but over here in Anglo-Canada almost all commentators are near-universal in their dismissal of the strike as little more than an economically illiterate exercise in youth self-absorption. Yes, so much for the left-w... |

| JJ, I've read your post and watched you on your CBC link and I understand your bubble analogy. When I'm talking with some people here, it's almost about revolution and class struggle while we are living in the most egalitarian and progressive place in North America. The term 'spoiled child' is the o... |

I kind of miss his sullen assholic former self... at least he HAD a personality. At that age, giving psycho stimulants should be accompanied... |

| If it works, that's great. But you're doing speed. A lot of ADHD kids that get put on these drugs turn into addicts as adults. Maybe that's less likely for an adult just starting on them. You should research whatever drug you're taking, look at the downside, not just the upside. Speed will sharpen ... |
