Thousands of protestors hit Montreal's streets on November 12, 2017. Their goal was to denounce racism and hatred while promoting tolerance and inclusivity. They gave speeches on Berri Street, between Ste-Catherine Street and De Maisonneuve, while police in riot gear stood nearby.
Many of the protestors held signs denouncing Bill 62. This is Quebec's legislature regarding religious neutrality stating women can't wear a niqab in public. While women understand that the niqab can oppress certain women, they feel oppressed by the government telling them they can't wear what they choose.
Xenophobia is another topic addressed throughout this rally. They feel this is something that will strengthen Canada in the long term.
Unfortunately, a statue
