It’s no secret Montrealers love to protest. Amidst a string of corruption scandals, anti-GMO sentiment, and tuition hikes that led to last year’s student strike, the site of a angry people marching through the streets holding banners and screaming half-rhyming slogans is familiar to most citizens. However public dissent has a new adversary in the form of bylaw P6. The bylaw was amended last year during the so-called Quebec Maple Spring. The purpose of P6 was to regulate demonstrations and force protestors to disclose their protest route in advance, while also prohibiting protestors to wear masks under any circumstance. Under the P-6 bylaw, Montreal police can declare any protest, assembly or gathering illegal, arrest people, and give them tickets of $637 up to several thousand dollars just for being there. We joined Montreal’s annual May Day protest to see the bylaw in action.
