It was a peaceful gathering, with several tickets handed out for traffic violations, according to police.

About half-a-dozen transport trucks made their way to the Champlain bridge as part of the demonstration.

Several Montreal-area malls were also targeted by protesting truckers, who pulled into the parking lots beeping their horns.

The protest in Old Montreal was over by midnight.
