"Quebec's provincial government has passed an emergency law restricting demonstrations and shutting some universities as the government seeks to end three months of protests against tuition fee increases. Outraged students reacted by calling it an act of war... the government introduced the bill to quell the most sustained student protests in Canadian history" -

How can not giving people free money be called an "act of war"?
Really? I thought war was crawling along a battlefield through a barrage and putting your hand in the goo of what used to be your best mate's face. Students = sheltered upbringing with an overzealous sense of entitlement.

the provincial government if outlawing peaceful protest against the tuition fee increases. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" and all that.

Do admit its overly dramatic language, but not complete hyperbole .
