00:00:00.269 --> 00:00:05.109


00:00:05.109 --> 00:00:09.320
for over four months students and their
allies to cover the streets of Montreal

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:14.019
everyday to protest a tuition hike
imposed by the Liberal Party of Quebec

00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:18.100
on September 21st at this year the newly
elected premier of Quebc

00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:21.279
scrap the tuition hike and repeal the
controversial law

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:24.990
that effectively ban public
demonstrations well this has been touted

00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:27.098
as a victory by many in the student
movement

00:00:27.099 --> 00:00:30.960
one element that made the success
possible is already been overshadowed

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.960


00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:46.940


00:00:46.940 --> 00:00:52.900
street politics were huge aspect of the strike and of it becoming

00:00:53.350 --> 00:00:56.490
what it became. people lost the fear

00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:59.680
and they didn't have any problem, any
trouble

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:02.850
standing their ground in fighting back
and waiting to be actually

00:01:02.850 --> 00:01:06.940
beat enough to ?? for pepper spray
before they moved and

00:01:06.940 --> 00:01:11.200
this was really inspiring and that's how
in my opinion that the movement

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.500
increasing got bigger and got more
threatening to the government or to the establishment

00:01:15.830 --> 00:01:19.090
obviously there's the the process of
escalation of repression,

00:01:19.090 --> 00:01:22.210
of criminalization and all
that

00:01:22.210 --> 00:01:26.539
but that probably wouldn't have happened
without the street politics,

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:30.280
without the daily blockading, the pickets the
hard picket

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.990
and the radical element and the fact
that is just like eventually it was not

00:01:34.990 --> 00:01:39.539
only about the the tuition hike but all
these other social issues that

00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:42.550
you know that our brawl up by other
social

00:01:42.550 --> 00:01:46.100
for the actors but also by the
radicals in your

00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:51.050
the radicals one other things that the
authoritarian and I guess the anti-colonial

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:55.060
activist and their the radicals in
general are trying to do is to show that

00:01:55.060 --> 00:01:59.380
all these issuesare interlinked they're not
separated

00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:05.750
and that sort of translated into all these
different people this the the profs,

00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:09.370
the teachers, the students,you know, all the people who are,you know,

00:02:09.370 --> 00:02:11.700

usually involved in specific sort of struggles

00:02:12.540 --> 00:02:15.940
on a day-to-day basis to come together

00:02:15.940 --> 00:02:20.670
and make this movement more they have a
coalition movement of getting together

00:02:20.670 --> 00:02:23.290
of all these groups to go back to
street politics

00:02:23.290 --> 00:02:26.730
that show like all these direct
action

00:02:26.730 --> 00:02:29.750
and also there was eventually those..

00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:34.360
there's a big debate among the the
movement as part of the movement whether

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.150
or not direct

00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:40.140
action or respect for diversity of
tactics was appropriate after even

00:02:40.140 --> 00:02:43.450
just of a couple day or a couple of weeks at
the bait was moved

00:02:43.450 --> 00:02:48.950
and the the notion that a diversity of
tactics is very beneficial to a movement

00:02:48.950 --> 00:02:49.510
like this

00:02:49.510 --> 00:02:54.030
a sort of wonder argument because it was
pretty apparent that going down

00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:58.739
in the streets, and fighting back, and show ... and
attacking

00:02:58.739 --> 00:03:02.440
capital and attacking the institution in
the symbols of capitalism

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:06.190
and fighting back against the cops with
very much

00:03:06.190 --> 00:03:10.870
integral to work to a successful
social movement or to a serious social movement

00:03:10.870 --> 00:03:13.280
if you're serious about
changing

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.840
if you're serious about transforming you
know society and

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.859
and hand gaining things and
fighting back against you know cuts and

00:03:21.859 --> 00:03:25.220
things of that matter, of that nature
you have

00:03:25.220 --> 00:03:28.810
at eventually you have to put yourself
physically in the way

00:03:28.810 --> 00:03:32.859
of repression and of the reactionary
agenda

00:03:32.859 --> 00:03:36.370
so I think there's no doubt that the
street politics

00:03:36.370 --> 00:03:40.870
that was to a large extent brought
by the radical element

00:03:40.870 --> 00:03:44.900
was an integral part in a very
important part in making this movement

00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:47.049
as big as it was but also as

00:03:47.049 --> 00:03:50.150
militant and intransigent as it
became

00:03:50.150 --> 00:03:53.660
to support this crap on the report this
it

00:03:53.660 --> 00:03:57.150
