day 100

québec students marked the 100th day of striking with a huge montreal demonstration estimated by some observers on twitter at 250,000.

demonstrations were planned in new york, paris, and vancouver, b.c. with students also mounting a challenge to "loi 78" in court.  by saturday, students had gathered 150,000 signatures on a petition opposing the bill, and the legal clinic handling the case had received 500 emails from attorneys offering assistance.

canadians are posting pictures of themselves with protest signs at this website challenging the government to arrest them for disobeying the bill.
