    Quebec’s National Assembly adopted emergency legislation last Friday that imposes draconian restrictions on the right to demonstrate and criminalizes the fourteen-week, provincewide student strike against plans to raise university tuition fees by more than 80 percent.

    Passed in less than 24 hours, the Quebec Liberal government’s Bill 72 includes a series of police state measures:

    Striking students and their supporters are banned from picketing within 50 meters of university and CEGEP (pre-university and technical college) buildings.
