Grasshoppers unleashed on HEC campus

A guerilla action at HEC Montreal business school more than creeped out students and administration there. Hundreds of grasshoppers were let loose in the halls of the campus allegedly by pro-strike activists.

A letter left behind allegedly from the culprits said that HEC was being punished for voting against the strike. The letter claimed that the grasshoppers were meant to represent the vermin unleashed on the Egyptians in the Biblical story of Exodus. 

HEC spokesperson Jacynthe Alain said that the action was not only aimed at students but at the institution as well.
