http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/...ve-public-support-for-charest-s-emergency-law Because the quoted poll was done with self-selected Internets participants, it's basically worthless. Let's redo, with a better set of sample data. The maths demand it.
Fees should be raised, and the students have done intimidation of those students who were against the strike and did stuff like planting smoke bombs at a montreal metro station, hard to support them with such actions. That being said, the emergency law is clearly anti democratic and I cannot support it in good conscience.
Where were these emergency laws during the past 500 public labour strikes in Montreal? I seem to recall lots of public vandalism (buses and ambulances damaged) during these strikes in the past, presumably by union demonstrators. It's easy to vilify students.
As I said I'm against the law itself, but the students don't have my support, I think the fees have reasonable reasons to be raised. I intend to speak out against that special law nonetheless because I support freedom of speech first and foremost.
