Political situation in Quebec

Good luck with your protesting, but try to stay safe, man!
Well thanks for your support! There was actually a small protest in NY, Paris and other cities in Canada in solidarity with the movement. Today, more than 200 000 people went in the streets and went against the law by changing the itenary they gave to the police prior to the protest. There was also many people wearing masks, which is now illegal too. Here's some pics:

There were some troublemakers that started to broke windows but they got arrested by the authorities:

Now there isn't much I can do. I can't go every night to downtown Montreal to face the anti-riot squad which become a regular scenario for the past days. Plus, I'm not for the use of violence like breaking windows and throwing rocks at the police, I'm more for breaking this law in a peaceful way, such as doing sit-in and random and spontaneous protests which are illegal.
