MONTREAL Several hundred citizens marched Saturday in the streets of Montreal s Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (MHM) borough to protest the Ray-Mont Logistics container yard project. Quebec Solidaire (QS) MNA Alexandre Leduc and Liberal MP Soraya Martinez Fernandez joined the many families and people supporting the citizen group Mobilisation 6600 Parc-Nature MHM,who organized the event. The festive march started at Place Simon-Valois on Ontario St., before moving eastward to the future site of Ray-Mont Logistics. The borough of MHM tried to prevent the realization of the industrial project by initially refusing to grant the necessary permit for the construction site. However, Ray-Mont appealed to the courts and won the case because of the zoning regulations in place at the time the land was acquired.

MONTREAL A demonstration against the imposition of the curfew in Quebec is scheduled this afternoon in Montreal. Organizers from the group No police solution to a health crisis and others are denouncing what they call a police response to the crisis. The curfew will have at most a symbolic effect, the group wrote in a news release. In reality, we are witnessing the continued degradation of the social safety net and the creation of a climate of fear. The demonstration is set to take place at Place Simon Valois in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough in Montreal at 3:30 p.m. An organizer confirmed to CTV News that the winter weather would not halt the demonstration.
