(en) Canada, La Commune (UCL) Protest against the Plan Nord Montreal February 8, 2013 (fr)


Video http://vimeo.com/59288982 ---- Taken from printempsquebecois.com Shortly after noon, 
200 demonstrators braved the freezing cold and snow blowing in swirls to massage around 
the Palais des Congr?s. Salon of natural resources held in this vast building is for them 
a "Fair Plan Nord [version] 2.0," a repetition in the more bucolic name of the event 
organized in April 2012 by the Government Liberal Jean Charest (defeated in September 2012 
by the Parti Quebecois Pauline Marois) *. Under heavy police surveillance, the event aims 
to expose what she calls the "Death Map" economic plunder of Northern Quebec boreal 
rampage ecological resources (open pits, clearcuts) disregard for the rights and 
aboriginal claims. Facebook launched the call for manifest condemns "the development of 
the North [which] threatens us as parts of living" and calls for solidarity "with all the 
communities in resistance development model imposed on them , North and South, with the 
indigenous peoples who have chosen to oppose [...] **.

"Inside, a heavy police presence prevented demonstrators from entering the Palais des 
Congr?s. The entrance to the Salon of natural resources is free, but a proof of photo 
identification is required to enter the premises (an extremely rare practice of control in 
Quebec). Outside, protesters revolve around the Congress by typing in its high outer walls 
colorful as they can get close. Groups the riot "accompany" in their circular path.

Just the protesters they gathered their gathering was declared illegal on the grounds that 
they have not provided their route ahead to the police. However, the march would be 
"tolerated" as she remained peaceful. At 13 h, patrol cars were damaged and a window was 
broken and a few flowers graffiti on police cars ... At 13 h 10, the police ordered the 
dispersal of the crowd.

They repel demonstrators who move away a bit, then come back, do push a little further, 
disperse, and then come back ... Although only one arrest was reported (a man who tried to 
interfere in the Palais des Congress without showing credentials), the atmosphere is not 
the camaraderie between protesters and police - and it is certainly never fun to slide on 
a patch of ice to meet identified by anti- riot ... - * It will be recalled that Premier 
Jean Charest had then raised the fury of the people in the ironic discontent and popular 
student who spoke outside the same conference center. View Gallery: "Salon du Plan Nord:
