Anti-Fascist Violence Spreads To Canada — Protesters Lob Fireworks, Deck Chairs At Quebec Police

A Quebec City “anti-fascist” counter-demonstration turned violent Sunday, and local police were forced to don riot gear to quell the public disturbance.

The demonstrators — heavily bussed in from Montreal — were countering an earlier protest by a Quebec group calling itself La Meute, who opposed the mass of illegal refugees entering Canada at the Quebec-New York border

The “far right” marchers allegedly didn’t even make it a block along the planned march before being overwhelmed by the counter-demonstrators who wore black clothing and masks to hide their identities.

Some threw beer bottles and other projectiles — including fireworks and deck furniture — at police and La Meute members.


The counter-protesters reportedly even assaulted journalists recording the event and tried to take over an underground parking garage in order to plan an assault on police, but they were blocked from entering the building.
