Three months after the last protest in Quebec City, far-right groups and far-left groups are preparing to face off once again on Saturday, each side renting buses to descend on the capital from Montreal and other regions.

This time, La Meute, the most prominent of the far-right groups, will be joined by Storm Alliance, a splinter group formed out of the Soldiers of Odin, as well as other marginal groups like the Front patriotique du Québec, a separatist “identity” group.

Anti-fascists and anti-racists, largely from Montreal, have vowed to disrupt the protest.

What are they protesting against?

Two months ago, La Meute announced it would be protesting against the Liberal government’s hearings on systemic racism and discrimination. Those hearings have since been cancelled and were replaced by a “forum on the value of diversity and the fight against discrimination.” Still, La Meute members have continued to say they are protesting against the “systemic contempt of the Couillard government toward the people of Quebec.”
