Report from Montreal's NYE Noise Demo

A discussion with two organizers of this year's New Year's Eve noise demo in Laval. We discuss how things went, prisoner solidarity organizing in Montreal, the value of noise demos as an anarchist tactic and tradition, and where we might go from here. 

Thanks to CKUT Prison Radio for the live footage.
