Park Ex shows solidarity against #CharteQC

One of this city's most diverse neighborhoods took to the streets to echo the growing public dissent against the proposed Charter of Values. 

Seventy people showed up at Montreal's Park Extension on Sunday afternoon. 

It was held by various religious and cultural groups. People who both wore religious gear, and didn't, were there expressing their solidarity. 

They had placards that read - “We are here for good” and “No to the discriminatory charter.”

A few attendees spoke to The Gazette to share their thoughts.

Jatinder Singh Bhandari was one the organizers, says he believes that the Quebec government is dividing Quebeckers apart. 

Meanwhile Park -ex resident Guy Tassé was also there. 

He says he's closer to his ethnically diverse neighborhood more than his fellow Quebeckers. 

A similar protest to endorse the proposed Charter was scheduled to happen that same day in Quebec City. 

However, it was instead pushed to November.
