Hundreds of Lawyers Join Montreal Uprising to Protest Bill 78
<div class='node-body'><p>Hundreds of lawyers marched through the streets of Montreal on Monday in a nearly silent protest contesting the constitutionality of Bill 78, Quebec's latest law that attempts to bar the current student protest and strike. Many marchers carried copies of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.</p>
<p>"It is one of the first times I’ve seen lawyers protest in public like this…and I’ve been practicing for almost 30 years,” said lawyer Bruno Grenier during the march.</p></div><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-hp-image">
