Major Quebec unions will rally in downtown Montreal today, protesting government cuts, underfunded services and what they call a shift to the political right.
Thousands took to the streets of downtown Montreal on Saturday afternoon to protest against François Legault's Coalition Avenir government and policies they say are eroding workers' rights.
Mayor Valérie Plante defended Montreal police after Premier François Legault offered to deploy Sûreté du Québec officers to help “re-establish order” following a protest that turned violent on Friday.
