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 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.
