montreal residents partaking in "caceralazo" nightly at 8 p.m.
each evening, at 8 p.m., montreal residents reportedly step outside for about 15 minutes to bang on pots and pans in protest of "loi 78." this is called a "cacerolazo," a form of protest originating in spanish speaking countries, especially argentina and chile. according to wiki, the term (cacerolazo or cacerolada) comes from the spanish word cacerola, meaning "stew pot," and the suffix, "azo," denoting a striking or punching action.
