Quebec's 'Maple Spring' Protests
- Canada's Maple Spring - Student protests in Quebec grow to nationwide movement. (Video)
- Clanging pots and pans are sounding across the streets of Montreal as hundreds of thousands of Quebecers take part in what is being termed the "Maple Spring" - Canada's largest and longest protests ever. It all started three months ago when the provincial government announced an 75 percent increase on university tuitions.
