Quebec Crown Prosecutors Strike Protest - Day 1

A Big Fat U*U News Flash courtesy of the Canadian Press -

In what’s being billed as a Canadian first, Crown prosecutors and government lawyers have gone on strike in Quebec, adding a pile of delayed cases onto the backlog already plaguing the province’s justice system.

Hundreds of criminal cases were sidelined when 1,450 lawyers and prosecutors walked off the job on Tuesday, emptying countless courtrooms and inspiring memorable protests in Montreal and Quebec City.

About 350 lawyers in black robes marched silently inside the Montreal courthouse’s mezzanine, some with copies of the Criminal Code tucked under their arms.

That's right U*Us, Quebec Crown prosecutors went on strike yesterday demanding a very substantial wage increase amongst other demands. As strikers are wont to do. . . Quebec Crown prosecutors picketed in front of the Palais de Justice aka court house in Old Montreal starting yesterday morning and continuing indefinitely.

I saw the picket line aka peaceful public protest as I was going to the nearby McDonalds restaurant for a McBiskit and coffee for breakfast and decided to go and get my HD video capable Pentax Kx DSLR camera and tripod and come back and do a little impromptu peaceful public protest of my own, primarily for U*UTube documentary video and Photo-Op purposes.

More later. . .
