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

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

*sorry, they're calling themselves the "groupe de secruité patriotique" now, not the III%

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.
