 hi guys, this isn't really WLS related. i'm just worried because i have a planned flight to montreal next week (i live in FL, in the US) and i'm worried about safety because of all the protests going on. is it isolated? can i avoid it by staying out of certain locations? should i cancel my trip. i'm 9 weeks pregnant so i'm worried about not only my safetly but the safety of my baby.  i don't want any trauma or to get roughed up for being in the wrong place, or inhaling smoke from smoke bombs or things like that. 

should i cancel my trip or will i be ok? HELP!!
thanks in advance!!

 I'm headed there tomorrow for the weekend with my kiddos and hubby. I'm not worried since the protests have all but ended and the events today did NOT go over well with the public. 

I can let you know how it goes once we are there if you would like. :)

 Hiya!!!! We had a blast! Tons of people all over an our hotel was right inthe heart of where he majority of the protesters were. A few pro-back to school students gathered on Saturday night but it was very quiet. )

 I live downtown and the protests have been calming down lately, I feel very safe. 98% of the time the protests are planned and the routes are posted online. It's more of a inconvenience than anything. Where are you staying?

 You'll be fine! It's by McGill, a very safe & quiet area. Have a great getaway :)
