"A nice peaceful demonstration against the neo-liberals as part of protests against rising tuition fees are very smoothly yesterday in Montreal. We estimate the scene, there were about 80,000. LCN-VAT was careful not filmed with their helicopter to get easier to fool people with a misleading figure of 10,000. Ha ha ha! The famous mass media! What a bunch of hypocrites."
