Abstract
Across the globe and throughout different countries, social movements are speaking out against neoliberal regimes. Québec’s Printemps Erable, the largest social protest in Canadian history occupies an important place among these social movements. This article aims to analyze the 2012 Québec Student Strike, which was sparked by the decision of the governing Parti Liberal du Québec to increase tuition fees by 75 per cent over the next five years. The student strike then developed into a social movement against neoliberalism as a whole. In other words, the students’ fight has become one front in a broader struggle for social justice and the reorganization of society. This transformation of the movement, from a student strike to a social movement against neoliberalism, is deeply linked to the repressive attitude of the Charest government towards students and its decision to choose violence over discussion. Bill 78, an emergency law that brought huge restrictions on liberties of expression, association and assembly, signified a major turning point for the Québec student strike. Following on from this, the strike has progressed, expanded its support base and developed into a popular uprising.This study will focus on the underlying reasons for the emergence of the Québec Student Movement and its evolution in relation to the state’s response to it. To this purpose, primarily, it will analyze the neoliberal phase of capitalism by putting emphasis on the increase in student debt and the commodification of education in the neoliberal age. Secondly, it will shed light on the enlargement and empowerment of the police force and the enforcement of emergency laws under the neoliberal Charest government. Here, the repressive attitude of the Charest government of Québec towards the student strike and its effects on the evolution of Printemps Québecois will be studied

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
