      Today is the "vague bleu" in Montreal, maybe the largest far right demonstration in Quebec in a long time. It's a demo in favour of the prov. gov't's ban on hijabs for public sector workers. A few hundred people are assembled for a counter demo. Will post updates through the day

      The counter demo is moving. Chanting "tout le monde deteste les racistes," or "everybody hates racists"pic.twitter.com/UAlTxzhHdq

      Some far right activists are already at their meetup point, an hour early. Under heavy police protection, both local and provincial police.pic.twitter.com/99ET8tO8qr

      So the counter demo got close to the far right, amd the police immediately tear gassed the counter demo. Will check my video later but it all happened very fast

      Just got chased through an alley by cops on bikes, they charged straight into a crowd of people. Also almost got hit by a riot van. Shit is chaos

      The counter demonstration is pretty dispersed. I'm with a guy who was shot in the face with a tear gas canister, on his nose right between the eyes.

      Having been to multiple counter demonstrations as a journalist, I've never seen a police violence like this. As soon as anti-racist protesters got within shouting distance of the far right, police immediately and brutally attacked the counter protest, to cheers from the far right

          Despite being brutally dispersed, the counter demonstration is regrouping at the original meetup point. Few hundred people here again. Not sure what's going to happen, lots of cops around.

          The counter demonstration is right at the far right. No police dispersal happening yet. Seeing decent III% militia presence on the far right side, including Robert Proulx, the guy in the first photopic.twitter.com/s48FZJCT96

          Occasionally straddlers from the far right demo accidentally walk into the counter demo, very confused. In most cases, anti-racists are just talking with them and explaining their opposition to the far right. One known far right dude who was provoking anti-racists got chased out

          Among the far right demonstrators still in the Vague Bleu is Maxime Morin, also known as DMS, a open neo-nazi anti-semite youtuber who participated in the Montreal Storm group chat with figures from the Daily Stormerpic.twitter.com/9XBFZM4h5W

          Looks like this is over, the far right protesters have mostly left. Anti-racist counter protesters are leaving as well. Overall, while far right numbers were larger than usual, it wasn't the mass mobilization that worst-case-scenarios predicted.

          The far right were able to march after police violently attacked anti-racist counter demonstrators, a really dramatic escalation in police violence compared to previous counter demonstrations.

          Maybe these idiots shouldn't have shown up just to cause trouble. Being a domestic terrorist group has is its downfalls after all

          I managed to miss that @SPVM police violence. I did see 2 counter-protesters who had traces of #CSgas on them when they showed up at the east side of #TVA to confront the pro-#Loi21 protesters, but was unaware of the violence of this #Police "dispersal" of the #Antifa protesters.
