“MONTREAL — Across Montreal and in other cities in Quebec, protesters came out in a countless number of ‘casserole’ protests against the provincial government.

In some places by the dozen, in others by the hundreds, Groups of people stood on balconies, in parks, and in the streets to bang pots and pans together as a symbol of opposition to Bill 78, the emergency legislation passed last week to limit mass protest and permit students to return to classes..

“Les Casseroles” were heard in Quebec City, Longueuil, St. Jerome and St. Eustache.

“It’s a social revolution in Quebec, we need it,” said one protester.

The pot-banging protests originated in 1971 in Chile to oppose food and supply shortages caused by the policies of President Salvador Allende.

They resumed in the 1980s to oppose the military dictatorship of Auguste Pinochet.”
