85 protesters arrested in Montreal

Over the past two months, college students in Canada have been protesting the exorbitant tuition rates of the colleges within the country. Yesterday evening, the clashes became violent in Montreal as police in riot gear hit the protesters with pepper spray and arrested many students.

Colleges and universities continue to raise the prices of tuition is intentional so that less people will have a chance to be economically dependent in the future. The hikes place students within the cycle of debt. The have's no longer want the have-not's to remain financially oppressed. Denying education is a form of intellectual manipulation.
