Quebec tuition protesters clash with Grand Prix partiers in Montreal
A group of activists, protesting capitalism in general and Quebec’s tuition hikes in particular, tried their hardest last night to crash the party on the Montreal street most closely associated with this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.

On one side of the barrier they shouted about injustice; on the other they sipped beer and wondered what the fuss was about.

Thousands of Formula One fans flock to Crescent Street each year for the expensive cars, the free swag and the popular nightclubs. It is the focal point for scenesters, for those looking to see and be seen.

A protest march that began near a community center in one of the city’s working-class neighbourhoods projected an altogether different ethos.

1,2,3,4, this is f—ing class war,” the crowd of several hundred chanted. “5,6,7,8, overthrow this fascist state.” (Photos: Canadian Press; AFP/GettyImages; Reuters)

Incidentally, the former President of the FIA - Formula 1’s governing body - Max Mosley, was raised by the leader of the British Fascist’s Union. He is no longer president due to an embarassing leather-whips-and-chains incident with a prostitute.
