French unrest reaches Montreal

The warning signs are already there. France’s student demonstrations expanded into mass protests over living costs and public services, with clashes, looting and hundreds of arrests on October 17. That same day, hundreds gathered in Montreal to support the French students while raising their own concerns about housing, student finances and police conduct. Today, France is tightening restrictions ahead of more demonstrations, while activists in Montreal have openly warned that similar grievances exist in Quebec.
