Quebec students win!
Common Dreams reports the new Premier Pauline Marois announcing that the tuition hikes will be rolled back. Canadian writer and activist Naomi Klein tweets: "This is why radical movements are mercilessly mocked. They can win."
RT reports several hundred taking to the streets to demonstrate for free education through the university level.
A spokesperson for Pauline Marois also recently announced that Gentilly-2 nuclear power plant would be closed. Subject of a new documentary, the decision has been hailed by numerous scientific and environmental groups. Activists have been working to close the plant for decades, and since radiation poisoning to families in the surrounding community was discovered.
Quebec seems to be entering a very exciting period of progress bound to inspire further.
Once again, history is on the side of the People.
