A protest march by students and their numerous allies.
Black-op helicopters and policemen spraying and beating random people.
Every night, since May Day or so.
Chicago just wishes it could be as cool as Montreal. lol

(3,687 posts)4. Fasciste.
A new law was passed a few days ago making it illegal for protesters to cover their faces. But the cops can wear riot gear and smokescreen helmets.
300 arrested yesterday.
Just heard a small explosion one street over; the constant sirens and copters are driving me a little nuts these days.

I don't know why I keep thinking Canada is any different than the US on civil liberties.
Vigilance!
