Pro-Palestine students in Quebec went on strike to demand divestment in Israel, coinciding with the opening of the NATO conference. The main protest took place at Concordia University and was joined by students from McGill and Dawson college. The protest involved 85,000 students across 13 university campuses. The protesters chanted slogans, distributed flyers, and vandalized property. Pro-Israel protesters were also present, leading to confrontations between the two groups.
