On Sunday, June 17, author and activist Judy Rebick spoke at a launch of her new book, 'Occupy This!' The event was held at the W2 Media Cafe, and sponsored by rabble.ca. Judy Rebick spoke about the lessons of the Occupy movement and also about the inspiring events around Quebec's student strike and 'Maple Spring'. In addition, to open the evening, Cecilia Point of the Musqueam First Nation spoke about their local struggle to save a sacred burial ground.

Roger Annis was there. He found Judy Rebick's talk "an interesting and often amusing look at the political transformations signalled by the spectacular rise of Occupy and more recently the Quebec student movement. But it was also a disappointment, for too little was said of the difficult challenges faced by these movements, particularly today in Quebec."
ETA: Roger remedies this "disappointment" with an excellent analysis of the challenges ahead for the Maple Spring.
Occupy still around? Really?
