Reply #25: They really were agents provocateurs! [View All]

[Ravachol]

The SQ (Sûreté du Québec, Quebec's provincial police department) just admitted it this afternoon. I only have french links for this, trying to look for a couple english-based ones.

First they denied it but after the Opposition's call for an investigation, they changed their tune and admitted it today. But they also said that the three were among the protesters to identify violent people (!) and that they got caught when they refused to throw stones.

Lies and more lies. It's all over Quebec's mainstream media, at least online. Let's see if it makes tomorrow's newspapers headlines.
