Find out which story Global Montreal’s viewers had the most to say about this week on Your Say:
It was a huge concern to the Irish community when they found out this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade could possibly be disrupted.
The group who organizes the annual anti-police brutality protest have announced they’ll be protesting at the same time and place as the festive family event.

Representatives from the United Irish Society told Global’s Domenic Fazioli they’re not going to stop the protesters form demonstrating – but Scouts Canada has already dropped out of the parade, saying they’re worried about safety.
“We are disappointed,” said Kevin Murphy, a spokesperson for United Irish Societies of Montreal.
“It’s a non-political event. It’s for families.”
Safety is a big worry for many families – especially since the anti-police brutality protest is known for its violence and vandalism.
Sheryl Balleine – “The number of children – plus not to mention the amount of alcohol that is consumed that day. This won’t end well.”
Louise Pearson Bernier – “They talk about brutality. They cause destruction and looting and vandalism. Let families enjoy a happy day. Children don’t need to see their antics.”
Shawna Walsh – “I will not be attending if this is happening, won’t subject my children to that! Very sad!”
