As I lived in Québec, I was there last night with maybe 4000 persons. It was relatively pacific, until some people tried to shut down the wall, as they did in the afternoon, but they failed this time. After that, it was gas, gas and gas. Despite of that, the atmosphere was almost cool, between fiesta and rage.

Today, I was at the big walk, very pacific, organized by the unions and other group. There was between 30000 and 60000 persons, depending where you take your information (!). But in the old city, many thousands people continued to protest under the gas, and it seems not so cool today. They closed the Congress Center for the second time, a little victory.

All this must not cover the message: we do not want the FTAA - as stated the People Summit of America, who closed yesterday. It's just a weekend, but the work remains very big, and must be done after the Summit, with everyone.
