There is quite the hub-bub going around Montreal lately about the city's new plan to crack down on graffiti "crimes". The focus of their war is on making it illegal for anyone under 18 to purchase spraypaint cans.
Unfortunately (for the city), the majority of those who crawl around the city at 3AM are in their 20s and 30s (and even higher!) Still, this attempt at cracking down on artistic youths is unforgivable, so let's fight back with a good ol' fashioned graffiti propaganda war!
So yes, this is a call out to all Montreal-area graffiti kids and adults to whip out your cans and start applying some lovely revolutionary motifs to any and all architecture here in the city. Only rule is USE YOUR BRAIN when choosing your targets... don't go riddling some low-income housing with graffiti, they have enough to worry about without waking up to find their front door has been repainted.. Instead focus your attention on federal targets, commercial targets, expensive cars and houses... invade Westmount and go nuts!
And for all of you not living in Montreal, feel free to do the same. We need to get the message out and show we are no longer an underground force. Tag your city up with symbols of the Revolution, show that we are still here.
