Montreal, Canada

On this postmark is the new REM train (Réseau Express Métropolitain): an automated light rail system covering the greater Montreal area. In the background is the city of Montreal. Only one line is currently operational and it passes through Montreal's central train station which is also the location of the Montreal B Post Office that applied this postmark. The stamp commemorates the 1977 raid on Montreal's gay bar Truxx. The resulting public outrage and support led to the first laws in Canada aimed at preventing  discrimination based on sexual orientation.
