Protestors took to the streets of Montreal over Thanksgiving weekend to denounce racism and a law being proposed by Quebec's incoming premier that plans to ban civil servants from wearing religious symbols in the workplace.<br /><br />According to local media, protesters chanted "Legault has got to go" and "François, Quebec belongs to me" as they marched from Place Émilie-Gamelin​ along René-Lévesque Boulevard, according to local media. Many held anti-racist banners and lit smoke bombs that sent red smoke into the air.<br /><br />Coalition Avenir Québec won a majority in last week's provincial elections. A representative for the government said Wednesday that those who don't comply with the coming law could be re-assigned or lose their employment altogether.
