This is the location of the offices of the Ministry of Public Safety and its Minister Genevieve Gilbolt. They should start before 8pm, just before the curfew starts.

One of the protests was described as a “peaceful” event against an “abusive” curfew.

The second encourages participants to “challenge” the curfew, “thus showing the government that we will no longer submit.”

Invitation to civil disobedience

“The police definitely issue illegal tickets. Everyone can go to the cell to return home or to finally push our action to be with me and some patriots ”, we can read in the description of the second performance by one person.

“It simply came to our notice then. Civil disobedience has enormous potential, ”he added.

At the time of writing, nearly a hundred people indicated interest in participating. However, it is not known how many people will actually attend.

According to available information, there is no relationship between the two program managers.

At the moment, the Quebec City Police Department said it was unaware of the incident, but said it was ready to intervene if necessary.

Much damage in Montreal
