Classes

Quebec students are reported returning to classes, as Quebecers take their battle to the polls in early September.  In the CBC clip below, students are interviewed still wearing the red felt, and stating they will "vote PQ," or Parti Québécois, and running Pauline Marois, who has stated that she is against the tuition hikes.  She recently debated Charest, the incumbent under heavy attack during massive student demonstrations and widespread community opposition to notorious "Loi 78," or "Bill 78," legislation also internationally decried by the United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, Navanethem Pillay.  Charest was satirized in the hit sensation Canadian hip hop number, Libérez-nous des Libéraux, or "Liberate Us From The Liberals" by Loco Locass, performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival to a wildly enthusiastic audience of 80,000 who observed a symbolic (and iconoclastic) "moment of silence" marking "the end of the liberal regime."
