The article provides some very inspiring reports from observers of the mass uprising in Quebec. Clearly Quebecers are feeling their power and the joy of collectively fighting back against austerity policies of their One Percent. The article points to an excellent website where we can find and feel the spirit of this rebellion--here is one stirring sample of this Quebec fighting spirit:
The grandmother and grandfather found a bench to sit on. They tapped, trembling, on their casseroles [saucepans]. There were a hundred people, then two hundred, then a thousand. We started to walk. Police cars arrived on the street corners and in the alleyways. We crossed paths a few times. Young people looked straight into the eyes of police, without fear and without arrogance, but with conviction. I even saw police officers lower their eyes. I saw one in particular. He was the same age as the students. I got the feeling that he realized he had chosen a line of work he wasn’t passionate about. This night, I think, he wasn’t doing what he dreamed he would be doing.
Children, men, women, seniors, people in wheelchairs, people of all nationalities, the crowd took the path it wanted, and did so in spite of police, in spite of the law. All along the way, on the balconies, in the windows, people came out with their casseroles, and they made noise too, scratching away at the special law one tap at a time. People protests and laughed and shouted. People clapped. People tapped, loud. Loud. Loud.
