Our Montreal Vacation This Week (Unexpectedly Awesome!) With

[Spazito]

2. I am so very proud of the people of Montreal...

they are standing proud for their right to protest, congregate. The new law is abhorrent, imo, and the Quebec government is going to pay a heavy price at the polls come the next election I have little doubt.

Here is an article about the marches, probably the ones you saw:

Massive Montreal rally ends with police clashes
Student leaders call emergency law 'absurd' as thousands mark 100 days of protest

Here is one snippet that's important to note, imo, given the headline of the article and in reference to who the police clashed with:

"Police said many of the protesters were from anarchist groups not directly connected to protesting student groups."

I love Montreal, beautiful city! I am glad you had a great visit.
