Massive Student Protests Return to Streets of Montreal
<div class='node-body'><p>Thousands of protesters marched against planned tuition hikes in Montreal, opposing the Liberal government of Premier Jean Charest, two weeks before Canada's parliamentary elections. The students marched just as they have on the 22nd of every month, for the last six months.</p>
<p>Organizers of Wednesday’s protest said it was the largest planned demonstration seen during an electoral campaign and that it signaled the revitalization of the protest movement.</p></div><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-hp-image">
