In the early evening of May 1st,100 people were arrested in Montreal: 75 for participating in an illegal assembly and 25 for breaking windows and such (charged with mischief). The police responded to the breaking of windows by firing rubber bullets randomly into the crowd and chaos ensued. That evening, the protesters again convened in the usual spot at Berri metro to begin their nightly march around the city. For the time that Arron and I were there, all was peaceful. The police were visibly tense at times but kept their cool despite various taunts from the protesters.
