  Demonstrators protest before the arrival of Britain's Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, at the Institut de tourisme et d'hotellerie du Quebec in Montreal July 2, 2011. Prince William and his wife Catherine are on a royal tour of Canada from June 30 to July 8.

The British royal couple was met by the protestors as they continued their nine-day journey through Canada on their first official overseas trip.
The protesters consisted of members of the separatist group Reseau de Resistance du Quebecois, or Quebecker Resistance Network.
The group chanted, “A united people will never be vanquished,” as they waited for Prince William outside Sainte-Justine University Hospital Centre in Montreal.
They also carried signs saying: “Parasites go home,” and “Your fortune came from the blood of our ancestors.”
The protest, however, did not dampen the mood for hundreds of royal supporters that gathered to greet Prince William and Kate as they made their way in to visit cancer patients and the neonatal department.
