"@sarilys13: guess what harper did!!! http://www.radio-canada.ca/nouvelles/National/2012/10/31/001-masque-loi-vote.shtml … it's illegal to wear a mask in a illigal protest now 5~10 yrs jail" #cdnpoli
Edit: Factor in the recent victory of the Quebec student movement with their casseroles pots and pans demonstrations and it becomes a bit clearer. Quebec passed Bill 78 which made protesting illegal. This caused more people to join the students, who were at it for well over 100 days. When the new government came in, they eliminated Bill 78 as well as the 80% tuition increase (over five years) against which the students had protested. Satisfied, they have now turned their attention upon Harper, the despot who is ruining Canada.
They want to jail the organizers and leaders.

@anonhive @net_anon In a protest few weeks back. They give $494.00 tickets for everything. It's hell. They are trying to squash.

@anonhive @net_anon Most of our protests are declared illegal before they start. Cops do what they want. 2 woman were arrested for singing

@Net_Anon @anonhive It just gives cops total discretion. We know what that means. Abuse, abuse and more abuse.
