just west of McGill College (Peel metro)

The Coalition against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA)-Montreal calls on all 
allies to join a picket of Indigo Bookstore every second Saturday. The 
majority shareholders of Chapters and Indigo Bookstores, Heather Reisman 
and Gerry Schwartz, established the Heseg Foundation for Lone Soldiers, a 
program of financial support for former "lone soldiers' in the Israeli 
military who stay in Israel. A Canada-wide boycott of Indigo, Chapters, 
World's Biggest Bookstore, SmithBooks, Coles, The Book Company or 
Indigospirit has been called until their controlling owners publicly 
announce that they will cut all financial ties to Heseg - the Foundation 
for Lone Soldiers.
