Political situation in Quebec

I hope the situation gets better and no one else gets hurt.

V said: "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

I totally agree with that quote. V for Vendetta was quite an inspiring movie, for me at least. People don't realize for the majority that the power is in their hands.

As for the situation in general, everything took a peaceful but fragile turn for a week now. More people are going in the streets and everyone is banging on pots, from 7 to 77 years old. The student leaders are negotiating with the government since Monday, but from what I heard this afternoon, the negotiation are not going very well. The government is very stubborn on certain points. Good things came out of all that, because the youth is more politicized and the population in general trust less the mass media and inform themselves in alternative source of information.

Our society (and same thing is good for all society IMO need to take a turn to the left, but one big obstacle is the baby boomers and older people, which are the majority of the population. They are , for the most part, for conservative politics and don't like changes. The 18-35 years old represent only 16% of the population here, so we don't have a big impact, demographically at least. Let's hope for the best...
