Montrealers held a dance protest, calling on Quebec to reverse its ban on dancing in bars, nightclubs
A large crowd of Montrealers held a large dance party on Mount Royal on Saturday to urge the Quebec government to reverse its ban on dancing in bars and clubs.
“We’re ready, we’re responsible people, we’re all vaccinated and we just want to be able to try to get back to normal a little bit and have some fun,” he said. Melanie Leeson said that after seeing some 20,000 people in the stands at the Bell Centre for a recent Montreal Canadiens game, she feels the government ban is discriminating against those who love the nightlife.
Quebec has said it’s taking a gradual approach to lifting pandemic-related restrictions, and experts have said dancing can be dangerous because of a lack of distancing and other factors. “It’s time for pleasure and joy, and that’s what dance is,” said Sophie Trolliet, who stood on the Mount Royal lookout holding a sign.
