Police soon rushed the crowd, prompting dozens of protesters to scatter and cause mayhem down the cobblestone streets of Montreal’s tourist district. Marwah Rizqy, a Liberal member of the provincial legislature that represents a Montreal riding, tweeted her disapproval of the protestors’ actions. The curfew ostensibly at the heart of the protest was imposed to curb COVID-19 infection rates that have spiked in several regions in recent weeks.
Residents in those regions who leave their homes between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. without a good reason could face fines of over $1,000.
Look at all those conservatives

About time. It’s time to put an end to this nonsense. 99% survival rate. Just isolate those at risk and stop ruining our economy

What is wrong with people!
seems government heavy & lazy approach has brought the society to a breaking point, question is how authorities navigate from here, b in control,defuse tension or wash their hands, hide, escalate, delegate 2 police & put police lid on pressure cooker?! Put police vs ppl?!
Love a picture of The Big Owe and “city’s tourist area” in the same story.

Who knew there were so many dumb, asshole Canadians? What part of killer pandemic do they not understand? Can they read?
Who do they think is going to pay for this vandalism? It will be taxpayers and there are plenty there I'm sure.
This did not have to happen if JustinTrudeau had did his job a year ago we would not be in this position today TrudeauMustGo
Never good when people destroy property. Not impressed...
Time for the feds and military to step in. Enough is enough.
Absolute idiots.
