The strike again
Merely seeing the titles of these two articles made me write this. Okay, that’s only two people on the students’ side, but they are pretty big figures in this matter. Aside from them, school administrations are on the same side as the students. The only people who may be against the students are probably those who wanted to access the port of Montreal or highway 40 when students were blocking it some while ago. Those are fogettable facts that lasted only for a few hours, but the facts that remain on the surface is the many people who have been supporting the students since the beginning and those that add up every day. I wonder what the government is trying to prove by holding back. If it doesn’t want to lose face, I think we all agree that that is too late. If it’s trying to show off as a strong bold government, it’s actually going in the opposite direction. The last offer the government presented involved about 41 million CND instead of the 103 million that students want back. And that offer was only applicable for about 30% of students. I don’t know what else to say.
By the way, it’s Easter! Have a good day. Give a chocolate bunny to some kid, that will make their day. Oh, and get those Easter eggs, they’re so good.

I think it’s also to Qu
