Tension is mounting over the scheduled appearance this weekend in Montreal of a controversialAmerican blogger known for his anti-feminist stance.

Daryush Valizadeh, who goes by Roosh V, is a self-proclaimed pickup artist and writer. Valizadeh, 35, has said rape is horrible and “not something I believe in,” but has also called on his website for it to be legalized on private property. He has also written that “a woman’s value significantly depends on her fertility and beauty.”

Valizadeh is holding an event on Saturday in Montreal at an undisclosed location as part of his world tour. Among the topics he promises to broach in the four-hour event, is “seven tips to meet women and experience intimacy in 2015.”

“The second I want to do two events in Canada, in Montreal and Toronto, I am facing a whole bunch of resistance and censorship efforts from the degenerate freaks on the far left, the militant left,” said Valizadeh in a video posted on YouTube. “And they are trying really hard to shut me down and prevent me from even entering the country of Canada.”
