Arts students at the University of Quebec at Montreal threatened to shut down the Canadian Grand Prix next month, an event that generates $80 million in economic spinoffs.
An email entitled 'Notice to Grand Prix Visitors' has been sent to more than 100 people who bought Grand Prix tickets online, warning that roads to the circuit will be blocked, that fires would be started at the track, hotels in the city may be attacked and people using the city's banks might also be targets.
The AFEA-UQAM suggests that the C.L.A.S.S.E. (the student federation the faculty belongs to) organize a weekend of disruptions in order to cancel the Formula 1 Grand Prix and its jet-set events of June 8–10 which represent sexist, anti-environmental, elitist and economic values that must be abolished.
On Wednesday, Montreal anti-capitalist activist Jaggi Singh warned that visitors to the annual event should prepare for more than loud cars. "Grand Prix website brags about 'jet set' coming to Mtl," he wrote on Twitter. "Rich douchebags are going to be disrupted by night demos." In another Twitter comment he said that if Montreal's "capitalist class" is worried about the disruptions of Grand Prix parties downtown, "then maybe there should be disruptions!"
