There's a wall of bike cops, helicopters buzzing around and hundreds of ppl shouting in the street. Sirens everywhere... they boarded up the liquor stores, took away the mailboxes and are blocking off streets.

I gotta run outside and I'll be back with more details

Find a brick, and run as fast as you can to your local Starbucks, and....wait, that's been done.

I just got back from the protest... it was INTENSE. It started out peaceful until some random "Anarchists" decided that it'd be a good idea to flip over a couple police cars, light them on fire and start throwing bricks, smashing windows and generally fucking shit up. I took some pics but have yet to upload them. For now, check out these pics from the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp) website:

The media claims that no tear gas was used but they shot one barrel at us and fired a couple rubber thingies at us when the anarchists showed up to ruin the peace.

Good frickin' lord, man - I heard about the anarchists on NPR this evening and thought about you. Glad you made it out o.k. Crazy times.

I love Canada. I think every time I've been to Montreal there's been some sort of mob/protest group thing. "Let's wave to the little children"... "Welcome to Canada, eh?" ... and then Riiioooottttt!
