If the army wants to recruit, it should open recruitment centres and "leave schools alone," said Réjean Parent, head of the Centrale des syndicats du Québec (CSQ).

"A spokesperson with the Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre in downtown Montreal argues that what it does in schools isn't recruiting. "It's information that we give to youths. We don't recruit in schools," said Capt. Lucie Rosa." [Montreal Gazette]
[Note: Two years ago, an initially successful effort to kick Canadian Forces recruiters off of the University of Victoria campus was overturned following an aggressive pro-military propaganda counter-surge.]
