Such a mob scene because of the police spying controversy. McGill trying to secure overflow space #SnowdenMcGill

Striking AMUSE union at McGill picketing Snowden talk and hoping to discourage people from crossing the picket line #snowdenmcgill

Given the crowd waiting to get in, the casual and temporary employees' union isn't getting a lot of takers #snowdenmcgill

Striking students blocking the entrance to the auditorium; do you really want to cross a picket line, they demand #Snowdenmcgill

But they aren't forcefully blocking anyone who wants to enter #Snowdenmcgill

Meanwhile, the crowd is getting angry. Chants of "Let us in!" echo throughout the campus #Snowdenmcgill

People still streaming in; going to be very late. #snowdenmcgill

Striking students stating their case are booed by the crowd #snowdenmcgill

Apparently a lot of disappointed people couldn't get in. Room holds 600 and there are overflow rooms #snowdenmcgill

How to get the crowd to clap: tell them you're starting in 10 minutes #snowdenmcgill

Director of Media@McGill says they underestimated the interest in the event. Ya think? #SnowdenMcGill

Thunderous applause for Snowden. Thunderous. #SnowdenMcGill

Surveillance technologies have outpaced democratic controls #snowdenmcgill

Glitches and technical difficulties. Snowden has disappeared from the screen #SnowdenMcGill

A lesson in Internet trolling #snowdenmcgill

He's ba-a-ack!! #SnowdenMcGill
