Cartoon draws link between Pink Floyd and Quebec student protests

In honour of Roger Waters announcing a Quebec City stop, a Yahoo! Quebec cartoon is comparing the theme of The Wall album and the current student protests in Quebec.


Some people in Quebec believe what's happening in their province right now is similar to the theme of the album, which is about violent state attacking its own citizens. The album cover is shown with Quebec Premier Jean Charest. The hammers are in reference to communists and there is a red flag on Charest's tongue for the students on strike.

This probably wasn't what Charest was expecting his legacy to be.

The image has has gone viral on Facebook and Twitter and was reported by Radio-Canada.

Rogers Waters' revival tour for Pink Floyd's The Wall will make a stop in Quebec City on July 31 with a newly announced show on the Plains of Abraham. It'll be the biggest Wall show since his performance at the Berlin Wall in 1990.
