	Quebec: Student strikes exemplify mounting social discontent
		In the weeks before the 2003 Quebec election, hundreds of thousands of workers and youth took to the streets of Montreal and smaller Quebec cities to oppose the impending US invasion of Iraq.
		According to press reports the cabinet is presently drafting a further $500 million in emergency cuts and has indicated to negotiators for the 450,000 Quebec public sector workers who have been without a contract since July 2003 that their wages will be frozen in the coming year.
		The immediate cause of the student strike—Quebec’s largest since 1968—is outrage over a $103 million per year cut in the provincial government’s student bursary program, which provides grants to the poorest post-secondary students.

		The document says that poverty in Iraq is a result of Saddam Hussein’s mismanagement, namely Saddam’s decision to nationalize certain industries; Iraq’s war with Iran; the invasion of Kuwait; and Saddam’s refusal to comply with the requirements for the suspension of UN sanctions.

		CAIRO, April 16, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) – The dreams cherished by the citizens of the northern city of Halabja of a prosperous life in post-Saddam Iraq continue to be dashed by the US occupation authorities who shifted billions of dollars from reconstruction to security, a leading American newspaper reported on Saturday, April 16.
		The Halabja project, worth around $10 million financed through the US Projects and Contracting Office, accounted for a small fraction of the $18.4 billion that Congress approved in 2003 for the reconstruction of Iraq, including $4 billion for water and sewage projects.

	TAPPED: March 2005 Archives
		The nucleus of what calls itself Kifaya today began organizing five years ago in response to the Palestinian uprising and picked up steam in March 2003 when about 10,000 Egyptians took to the streets of Cairo to protest the US invasion of Iraq.
		To me, that cuts against the notion that invading and occupying Iraq was somehow essential to sparking a renewal of the wave of reformist agitation that we saw in the 1990s and tended to fade during post—September 11 clampdowns.
		Nevertheless, one of several reasons to think it would be a good idea to start moving toward bringing the deployment in Iraq to an end is that it might focus the minds of the various groups inside the political process on the task at hand.
