The protests also reached Canada: in Montreal, the police dispersed students with tear gas.
The CBS reports that students demonstrated against the increase in the costs of education, housing and food. They demand increased funding for colleges and universities, as well as reform of the student financial aid system.
The protest quickly turned into clashes with the police. The protesters threw various objects at the police, who fired tear gas.
Windows of buildings and cars were also damaged in the city center. Three people were arrested.
