Close to 1,000 Montrealers took to the streets on Friday, Jan. 11 to participate in Idle No More’s global day of action.

Those in attendance donned red feathers in support of the movement, which opposes the omnibus Bill C-45, among other political action by the federal government. Many consider the bill an attack on Aboriginal rights, as well as potentially disastrous to the environment.

The demonstration lasted for around three hours and was entirely peaceful.
