    The 2012 student strike (printemps érable) lasted from February to September. It was not an encampment per se but it says something about student tenacity. Occupy Montreal lasted a month and a half, although not on university grounds.

    Does the end of term matter? Sure. This has been true since students have existed. Remember May 1968? Or Jagger singing “summer’s here and time is right for fighting in the streets”?
