For long while, the Republik still control our major streets. Still controls our water. And we have no vote on STM council (only one suburb does).

O had also though it was done by local cities especiually as the notice of events was posted on the local city,s web site.

(batteries form UPS).

Yes, the republik of Montréal organized those events outside its territory.
