a politician in the national assembly of kill back says the canadian government spends billions of dollars on its military to side with the us second flies in the needs of its own people. all these policies of the canadian government. are now heavily relying on defense defense policy with billions of spending unique. almost more than five billion dollar of spending announced. with contracts with. american farm builders and in the same time the transfer to the provinces and money needed for the transfer of education for example has been curtailed so in those circumstances governments like the government is holding back on its social spending this is just unacceptable by back in two million standards it's almost unbelievable what was what has happened in the last three months because the police reacted so violently in a very disproportionate manner to some disturbances which would have been very easily. controllable by the government being on their very harsh. i would say pressure from all parts of society to come out of the crisis i think has lost control over its police force. russia's rep

past few weeks has been billed seventy eight this was passed in combat sledger sleeves for the national assemblyy the liberal party and. this was supposed to give people the sort of idea that. this is the protests have come to a point where we need to start enacting laws and restrictions the restrictions are is that if you're fifty or more people and you've gathered for a protest you need to tell the police in whichever region of québec you are beating to big city or montreal that you are going to be protesting that evening or later on the day eight hours beforehand and the you have to provide a map now when this started months ago it was primarily a student protest but at this point it looks like it has become much more than that . very much so you have labor unions involved you have the everyday people in quebec society involved and this is become not just a back sort of revolution or a maple spring this is spreading across the world and it's interacting with other revolutions that you've seen either in in syria or in libya and even in the united states and say with the occupy movement and the

relationship and not scare the system at the same time what no one's talking about is he's facing national assembly elections in france in june so his party's up election basically a month from now so he can't do the right or center too quickly he's got to stay somewhat in his progressive left stance and that means both on the economy on on basically saying these wars are crippling not extending power that he's got to basically hold the line where the pride of a lot of interesting interesting to see it right i mean he's already got a lot of invitations to come to the white house and hang out the obama's got he might get some some pressure from this i guess what i had to do so i want to i want to talk about this plot from getting with the double agents that in. was working for us and the saudis and that in fact that there would have been a plot because it was our guy that we knew that was going to do it the whole time i mean these details keep getting very complicated than twisted but what's your take on the entire thing what we know is that there's an organization out there that wants to blow up pl
