I went to Quebec late last month to cover the huge, militant student protest movement that the American media has been studiously ignoring. Right now I’m working on a comics journalism project for Cartoon Movement and The Los Angeles Times about what I saw. Here are some photos I took in Montreal during the run-up to and during a huge demonstration on July 22.

You can SMELL revolution in the streets!
I’m glad you came up to see that. Unfortunately, we Canadians are used to being ignored in the American media and educational systems (I love watching contestants on Jeopardy attempt to evade Canadian categories!) so anything that helps increase awareness of each other is a good thing.
I look forward to your comic journalism project.

Quick, what are the Canadian revolutionaries’ demands?
Free poutine.
To exkiodexian:
Cute, but then they fail your own test and the smell must be something besides revolution.
