Over 200,000 Students Protest Tuition Hikes in Quebec 
------------------------------------------------------



Tens of thousands of students rallied in the Canadian province of Quebec
on Thursday in the largest demonstrations so far in a strike against
planned tuition hikes. The government plan would increase tuition by 75
percent over the next five years. The largest rally came in Montreal,
where a massive crowd of around 200,000 students took to the streets.
