March 15 marks the International Day Against Police Brutality, along with the affiliated march planned for tonight in Montreal by the COPB (Collective Opposed to Police Brutality).

We all know how spring works in Montreal, right? Very soon we’ll be thrust into summer without much warning, but if you just can’t wait for the summer vibez, how about a bikini fashion show?
