My new Job, which just ended about half an hour ago, has kept me cooped up in an office on the corner of Mont-Royal and Clark for the last two weeks.\u00a0 While working shifts that sometimes take me from the late morning of one day to the early morning of the next,\u00a0 a myriad of sounds drift into my window from the street.\u00a0 From the voices of partying college students on weekend nights, to car alarms, to loud sound systems, to drummers on Mont-Royal on Sunday afternoons, there is rarely a totally quiet moment.\u00a0 Three times, over the last week, these sounds have been joined by the sounds of celebrations.\u00a0 This corner is a popular one for parades, something I’m not used to on my sleepy street up in Villeray.<\/p>\n

The first parade was brought to my attention by the sounds of a marching band.\u00a0 Indeed, if not for that bit of sound, it would have been easy to not hear the somber parade of Portuguese Catholics marching up Clark and then back down St-Urbain, presumably toward their church on Rachel.\u00a0 The next day, on the Journ\u00e9e nationale des patriotes, the Jeunes Patriotes du Qu\u00e9bec marched by, chanting and waving banners and flags (about half Quebec and half Patriotes flags). I didn’t get photos as I didn’t have my camera on me at the time.\u00a0 A few days later, I was brough<\/span>t to the window again by the chants of “QU\u00c9BEC! IND\u00c9PENDANT!” over and over for the grande marche vers l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>.\u00a0 The scene was of a sea of blue and white as the large crowd marched toward Mont-Royal.\u00a0 Much of the rest of the afternoon was spent with the the distant roar or pro-sovereignty chants in the background.<\/p>\n

Below are a few photos of the first and third parades from the window of my office.<\/p>\n
