  • BED-IN FOR PEACE: MY KIND OF PROTEST

    Posted by

    In May 26, 1969, after being turned away from the USA and Toronto, John Lennon chose to come to Montreal for his famous “Bed-In for Peace.”

    It was in his room at The Queen Elizabeth Hotel that he recorded the anthemic peace song, “Give Peace a Chance.”

    Click “more” to connect with the hotel…

    Check out the Wikipedia article “Bed-In” for more information on this comfy form of protesting.

    And call me if you decide to do a protest.

    I’m good in bed.

    Insider Tip: If you end up staying at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, ask for a room with the view of Montreal’s most iconic landmark, Mount Royal. The autumnal colours are majestic.
