From the BBC:

 

Scores held as Montreal student protests turn ugly

 

Eighty-five people have been arrested as demonstrations in Montreal over rising tuition fees turned violent.

 

Police used pepper spray to quell the protest, during which windows of banks, businesses and cars were smashed.

 

Six people were injured in the riot, which flared as talks between student groups and the government broke down.

 

Students have been protesting for 11 weeks over plans to increase university fees by C$325 (£200) per year over five years.

 

The government said the talks had ended because Classe, a student group, had not halted its street protests, a condition for negotiations.

 

After Classe was expelled from the talks, other student groups also left the negotiating table.

 

Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, leader of Classe, told CBC News after the talks broke down: "All this does is pour oil on the fire."

 

But Education Minister Line Beauchamp said: "I regret that this Classe has chosen its camp."

 

The government of Quebec has made no indication that it will reconsider the proposed rise in tuition fees.

Okay, Obama has been talking about increased costs to go to college for a few weeks now.  Of course he has no plan to reduce the costs-the reason why is most of the costs to go to college are to pay expenses of the faculty and the campus facilities.  Although you have heard Obama talk a big game,  he is not proposing to cut salaries and stop the massive buildup of facilities, many of which are built by unions.  He is also not pushing for the Democrat written law that increases student loan interest rates to be enacted.  Guess we will see this on our campuses soon.
