QUEBEC — Several hundred people attended anti-G7 demonstrations in Quebec City on Saturday. Here are a few protesters describing why they chose to attend.
“Despite all the nice words of the G7 heads of state, inequality and injustices are rising throughout the world. Yes, unemployment is down but it’s precarious jobs, badly paid, and the gap between the rich and the super-rich and everyone else is increasing enormously.”
— Roger Rashi, social activist and co-organizer of Saturday’s event
“We (protesters) can’t do much. There is so much repression, there are 20 police for every protester, human rights are denied. There is such a huge sum of money that is invested in making people afraid, to tell them they don’t get to say anything, to portray the protesters as aggressive when most of them are peaceful.”
