"Montreal police handed out more than 100 tickets and made several arrests after a Sunday night protest against the city's newly adjusted curfew turned violent.

Police spokesperson Const. Véronique Comtois said the preliminary tally includes seven arrests made and 108 tickets handed out — 107 for breaking public health rules, and one for contravening a municipal bylaw.

Dozens of acts of mischief and criminal fires are still under investigation, she said.

Hundreds of protesters gathered in the Old Port, a tourist district, for the protest against the 8 p.m. curfew. It began in relative calm — a mostly young crowd danced to music from loudspeakers while lighting fireworks and chanting, "freedom for the young."

But eventually, a few protesters lit a garbage fire in Place Jacques-Cartier, which was met with tear gas from riot police. Some also seized projectiles from city streets, hurling them at nearby windows and shattering many.

Police soon rushed the crowd, prompting dozens of protesters to scatter and cause mayhem down the cobblestone streets."

I for one applaud their defense of our civil liberties, these measures are unwarranted.

As Long as They are Scheduled, I'm Ok with it.

Nobody wants an Unscheduled Protest......... especially The White House.

Quote from: Newbeeee™ post_id=9456 time=1618260050 user_id=157That's surprising that your curfew is 8pm.
In Spain it's 10, so perhaps the Rona appears at different times in different countries 🤷‍♂️
Could be worse...could be Chile where you're only allowed out for 2 hrs twice a week ro go shopping and need the local police permission.
And you're not allowed to buy non essentials - not even on line.
But remember...it is all about the virus and only the virus.
No power grabs going on at all.
That's tin foil hat Trump loving flat earth conspiracy chit thinking that....


Ya Figure??

Now they are going after Brazil.

Canada is special. But I have heard they are breaking the border in untold fashion. Why?
