It's not looking good for Syria. Not only is it tense in Syria with the opposition being more heavily armed then before, with sectarian undertones, but this peace plan has not been adhered to. Not really. The army seems to go there the UN isn't kinda thing. Then there was those elections yesterday. How can they say these were democratic elections?
So although I will keep hoping for Bashar Al-Assad and his regime to fall, I'm not sure how long that will take and if it will take the whole region into war, or if it will stay inside Syria. Hard to tell, but it looks grim. It doesn't help that even the activists outside Syria don't see eye to eye on certain issues and it creates tensions even in Montreal.
Then there's the student strike in Montreal in it's 13th week. The students aren't backing down. It sucks however that they want to ban people from protesting anonymously. As a friend pointed out, she always has a bandana with her and she will put it over her face if she sees police using pepper spray. Now it will be illegal? I'm noticing our rights being eroded just a little bit at a time, this way no one really pays attention. Soon it will be completely illegal to protest just you watch?
North Carolina has banned gay marriages, but you can marry your first cousin, just not your double cousin..... and it's weirder. I had a good giggle. I don't ever intend to live in North Carolina.
