Protester on Jacques Cartier bridge |
Traffic was halted for several hours on the 3.4-kilometre bridge, which links Montreal with Longueuil on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River.
The man said he is a member of Fathers 4 Justice (F4J), which aims to "expose the injustice that the family-law industry has become in this country, with a series of high-profile stunts and actions."
The group's website says the family courts are biased against fathers, and systematically remove the rights of one parent — usually the father — to be involved in his children's lives after a divorce.
The man on the bridge said he had not been able to see his child for two years.

Spider-Man protest on Mount Royal cross |
The group said its members were behind eight stunts in May, across the country, including releasing crickets in courthouses and offices, and having a man dressed as Spider-Man climb the cross on Mount Royal in Montreal on Saturday.
Police said the protester will likely face criminal charges.
