Streets of Montreal

streets of Montreal: The crowd may have been smaller than at an anti-charter rally that jammed the streets two weeks earlier, but it appeared to be more diverse, according to Times Colonist. The earlier protest didn't have the support of a major Jewish group because it took issue with the organizers and the march was held on a religious holiday and MONTREAL - Hundreds marched through the streets of Montreal on Sunday to call for an "open Quebec" and, once again, denounce the Parti Quebecois government's proposed charter of values. The rally was organized by a group of young, multicultural Montrealers and brought together Muslims, Sikhs and Jews to protest against the ban on religious headwear in public institutions.
