Obviously an attempt by the secret conspiracy alliance between La Presse and the Liberal party to engulf protesting students as they walk down Sherbrooke St. I knew it!
I kind of liked the CBC’s headline “after student protest” – I suppose they mean “wow, what if that had happened when people were walking over it” but it does sound a bit implied cause/effect.
The obvious interpretation is that since a sinkhole is an act of God and since no students were hurt but the city is disrupted, God is a supporter of the protests. :D
How crazy would have it been if that hole had opened up a few hours earlier and swallowed 50-60 protesters? We would have been hearing stories about Tremblay’s evil mafia hit squad until doomsday.

I blame last September’s water main break at the top of the hill.

Blame His Lordship the Emperor Tremblay and a hundred years of winter/spring melts.

I wonder if your faith and trust in the Emperor is as solid as that wall of bricks that fell on a passerby last week.

There was also a giant dip in the street, filled with water, as we (the protest) walked by, it was already blocked off with those traffic cones.
@Ian
It was also wierd that it rained all day. Except at 2pm it stopped, and at 5pm it restarted. The sun must like the protesters too ;-)
