Police receiving calls about all kinds of gatherings
In the spirit of “tell Vic everything” people have been phoning the police to get permission for all kinds of gatherings – “On a une réunion de famille demain et on s’en va de tel coin de rue à tel coin de rue”…

The student associations also didn’t take any chance and already informed the authorities of the path the May 22nd protest would take

That’s quite a hike.

If nothing else, Quebec’s youth will be the fittest in the country at the end of the summer (tear gas fumes notwithstanding).

Kate, I think you need to look a bit more carefully at the outline of the route… I think they might be trying to send a subtle message.

Adam, I’m actually not a complete idiot, you know.

Kate, breathe. I just thought you’d missed it. I did at first, it took me a minute to notice.

Anyway, if it helps rehabilitate me around here, I’m horrified by this law. It’s a grotesque infringement on freedom of speech and freedom of association. I’m glad that people are taking notice and fighting back. Although the reports of molotov cocktails being thrown tonight are not encouraging. Hopefully people stay peaceful and creative, like these phone calls.

I wonder what they mean by “molotov cocktail”. Are they actually referring to bottles of booze, with a sock (or whatever) in it on fire, which blow up on impact? Cuz that would be pretty fucked up. In any case, protesters need to stop throwing shit.

@ant6n: I wonder as well, because they used that term earlier in the protests to describe simple liquid filled bottles, with no fire involved. Whatever it is, I hope policemen arrest the criminals and let the rest protest peacefully.

True. Thing is, the use of the term ‘molotov cocktail’ invokes images of civil war and war zones.
