Protestors took to downtown arteries

Tuition Hike Protest-0321

It was scene of deja-vu on downtown streets Monday afternoon.

In a report by CTV News, a protest march was called in opposition to the P.Q.'s intention to raise tuition rates by about $70/year.

Riot police and protestors clashed in Griffintown in a scene right out of last spring's "erable printemps." The SPVM announced that two people were arrested for armed assault.

It wasn't the only protest on Monday, as two marches with 20 people each took place earlier in the day.
