Protests, the people involved say, came about because the government isn't doing anything to answer the questions and concerns they have.

A grandmother to 45 (15 of them great-grandchildren) Chalifoux takes all of her responsibilities seriously.

That is where she began to live by her credo "just carry on". And that is what Chalifoux does everyday.
