With no right to strike, Montreal police attire themselves in anything but regulation uniforms

"Montreal's 4,500 officers have been without a contract since December 2006, and no one is at the bargaining table. Since it's an essential service with no right to strike, the police say it's the best way they know how to legally show their displeasure"
...
"Officers are wearing just about anything below the belt, except uniform pants, that is. Jeans, track pants, pyjamas, parachute pants, and lots of camouflage, in grey, green, purple, even hot pink. One officer even tried to wear Santa Claus pants, another a kilt, until their superiors told them to go home and change – back into something more 'appropriate.'"


So let me get this straight. For a policeman, pyjama pants are more appropriate than kilts?? Well it's nice to see that kilts are at least as appropriate as Santa Claus pants.
