The city of Montreal passed a bylaw, which makes it illegal to wear a mask during a public demonstration without "a valid excuse" and requires organizers to provide authorities with demonstration routes, could go into effect as early as Saturday. Montreal police chief Marc Parent told city council on Friday his force would use "discretion" when applying the law. - Global News.

If COS harassment can be set as a precedent for an excuse for wearing a mask,
that would make an interesting news item in itself, and it would make it easy to get the exemption. There could be an official form where "likely hood of COS harassment"
could be ticked off in a box and the form shown to cops who show up at demos.

Yep, there's a "valid reason" alright.
Short of that, I guess it's back to wigs, sunglasses and stick-on mustaches for the girls.

Are the masks even still necessary? They became unnecessary in Sydney some years ago. They know who Pyro and I are and made no effort to harass us.

Can you wear a jock strap (preferably new and clean) on your head, claiming you're such a dick-head you'd get arrested for public nudity otherwise?
