People Covered Their Faces And Showed Up To Bus Stops In Montreal To Protest Bill 62

    The new law forces people to uncover their faces to receive government services — including taking the bus.

    Montrealers are covering their faces to protest Bill 62, Quebec's "religious neutrality" law that was passed this week.

    Dozens of people showed up to bus stops on Friday with their faces covered.

    The new law is so broadly written that scarves, hoods, and even large sunglasses that cover too much of your face can get you in trouble.

    Protesters held signs calling for the government to stop policing women's choices.

    Some looked like superheroes.

    According to CBC Montreal, other drivers showed their support by honking for the protesters.

    The union representing Montreal transit workers has said Bill 62 doesn't have enough clarity on enforcement, leaving frontline staff in the uncomfortable position of deciding who gets a ride and who doesn't.

    People have already been mocking the new law on social media.

    More protests against Bill 62 are already in the works.
