EARLIER POST

On Sunday May 27 concerned citizens in St. John's protested in solidarity with the student movement in Quebec against Law-78. Here's the CBC coverage of that first event.


Since the first pots and pans (Concert de Casseroles) protest in Montreal on May 24th, the enthusiasm has caught on after a video of the action went viral. Show your disapproval of bill-78 by making lots of noise -- bring a pot or pan and something to hit it with! Wear your "red square" (a play on the notion that impoverished students are "squarely in the red") and a mask, both of which would be illegal in Montreal.

Join us as we participate in a Canada-wide Concert de Casseroles, to show our solidarity once again, on Wednesday May 30 at 8 PM at Harbourside Park!

i may just have to go to a public place in appropriate garb with a sufficiently loud pot/pan and hitting device and make a little noise at the appointed hour.

good luck with the event.

So good to see this! Keep up the pressure, and stay peaceful (I know you will!)
