We tried to focus more on the rhetoric used as well as the "sources" they are basing their argumentation on rather than doing the critic of the ideology itself ( you can find another one made by some anarchists from Wales and England here : https://libcom.org/library/anarchy-lockdown-crypto-eugenics-critical-res... .

THE GROWING ANTI-CURFEW MOVEMENT IN QUEBEC
A new anti-lock-down movement is emerging in Quebec.
In Montreal, anarchists and other radical Leftists have begun to protest the draconian curfew law which essentially has put the entire province of Quebec on house arrest. The first demonstration was held in the neighbourhood of Hochelaga. A report-back can be found here: https://mtlcounterinfo.org/anti-curfew-march-reportback/

To give a quick overview of the day on Monday, in Los Angeles rebels set fire to a shopping center and looted many stores; in New York, the rebels took possession of the streets of the Manhattan district; in Saint Louis, they clashed with the cops for hours; then, around midnight, gunshots wounded four police officers who had to be hospitalized.

The twenty-first edition of the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair has to look radically different this year, but we’re striving for as much connection across distance as we can during our daylong gathering on Sunday, May 17, 2020. To that end, rather than our usual Art and Anarchy exhibit in the physical bookfair space, we’re calling on people to physically share anarchistic art and banners on the streets of cities across the globe. It’s a way of embodying our love and solidarity for each other, and also illustrating quite literally that we’re still here, that anarchism is still alive and well.

Thus, on Friday evening, I attended a demo in Montréal’s Gay Village that a number of anarchists, including friends of Cedar (the first person arrested, on Saturday, June 22) and other anarchists affected by the repression in Hamilton, swiftly organized in the short amount of time between Tuesday and Friday. I wasn’t meaningfully involved in the organizing myself, although I had an opportunity to be. My intention with this text is to offer some critical comments about different aspects of the demo to other anarchists in Montréal – which is a project I feel a little fucked-up about, actually.
