Nearly three times as many people have been arrested in the student protests against Quebec's tuition hike than were arrested during the October Crisis: 1,201 between April 7 and 27, versus 452 in the fall of 1970.  It's something to consider...

And one place to consider it will be the book discussion I'm leading Tuesday, May 8 at Outremont's Bibliothèque Robert-Bourassa: La Constellation du lynx by Louis Hamelin.  It's a long, but fascinating read, so far only available in the French original.  But, as for all the causeries litteraires, you don't have to have read the book to join in this conservation about a book. 

Hope to see you there at 7:30 p.m.  And bring your ideas for next season's discussions, as this is the last one of the 2011-2012 series.
