Diane Francis: Greece Must Go -- and Quebec's Students Too
Quebec's unruly students are no different than the Greeks. Both have enjoyed free rides for years, both are being asked to pay their share of the tab and both are refusing to do so. The Greeks are going to fall behind the Romanians in living standards in short order while the students are making a fuss over a pittance. That makes the Quebec students, in a sense, even more irresponsible.
Supriya Dwivedi: Charest's Death by Bill 78
The Charest government brought the students to the negotiating table and made concessions to their cause, while simultaneously and ineffectively enforcing the majority non-protesting students' right to go to class. So, they turned around and tabled legislation that limits one's right to peaceful assembly, grants an excess of powers to the executive branch of government and employs vague language throughout.

Peter Worthington: How to Avoid G20 Violence Again? Let the Police do Their Jobs

Omar Alghabra: Mulcair's Misdiagnosis of Dutch "Disease" Won't Help our Economy
Thomas Mulcair's prescription is to make "polluters pay" and that the natural resources industry should fully account for its pollution. And then what? How is that going to reduce pressure on the dollar? How does that help other industries? Does he want to implement a selective "polluter pays" policy that target only the natural resources sector and exclude the manufacturing sector?
