The government in the predominantly French-speaking Canadian province, fed up with sometimes violent demonstrations, last week unveiled a tough proposal that would make protests more difficult to organize and impose stiff fines on those who disobey.

LAW 78
Last week, the government of Quebec passed an emergency law (Loi 78) criminalizing the massive demonstrations and assemblies in an effort to stamp out the strike. The new law restricts demonstrations and orders the closing of some universities. Among other things, organizers must inform police of the route of any demonstration that includes 50 or more people 8 hours before the demonstration. Unions and student federations are threatened with fines of up to $125,000 if someone is prevented from entering an educational institution.

>How many of these people protesting Bill 78 didn't have a problem
>Coulter being threatened with jail a couple of months ago?

Probably about the same number of Americans who would have a problem with a shit-stirring Canadian pundit being threatened with jail.

Except Occupy Wall Street are organizing demonstrations that are heavily influenced by Montreal demonstration tactics.

So what? Martin Luther King's demonstrations were heavily influenced by Gandhi's demonstration tactics.

When Bashar Al-Assad heard about a fruit man from Tunisia lit himself on fire, his first reply was: "ok and?"
