A standoff between far-right groups and anti-fascist protesters along the Canadian side of the U.S. border forced police to temporarily shut down the crossing near St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Que., on Saturday.

A separate anti-illegal immigrant rally on Parliament Hill, held amid heightened concerns about the arrival of asylum seekers, also provoked a handful of skirmishes, as riot police stepped in to prevent physical violence.

Roughly 300 members of the Storm Alliance — a group that identifies as "ultranationalist," and claims to eschew ties to far-right white nationalists — arrived at the border crossing near Lacolle, where thousands of migrants have crossed into the country on foot without proper documentation.

The Storm Alliance was marching on a Haitian refugee camp. Somebody has balls.

48 percent of illegals come through the Canadian border.

Far-LEFT, anti-fascist protesters temporarily shut Quebec border crossing,

There, fixed it!

[wetgundog]

Go hang your liberal Prime Minister, he invited them in.

I misread the headline at first, too.
Read the comma as the word ‘and’ and it will be clearer.

[sparklite2]

No, they’re just stupid. Haitians aren’t muslims, which is what SA fights.

[Chgogal]

I think “Far Right” protesters are not any different from “AntiFa” protesters. Both parties are against Capitalism.

[Gay State Conservative]

Sounds like Canadian "ultranationalists" are individuals who believe that laws mean something and borders mean something.Also,IIRC...that was the very same border post that denied Brad Manning,not long ago sentenced to 35 years in prison,entry into Canada.

Having crossed the border...by car...a number of times I know that the Canadian officials are polite but *all* business which,presumably,reflects the country's determination to enforce their laws.

Author is using the terms “anti-immigrant” and “anti-illegal-immigrant” interchangeably. Also lumps all of of these groups into “far-right” category. It’s another typical leftist propaganda hit piece.

claims to eschew ties to . . .

One of William Safire's Rules of Writing was:

Eschew Obfuscation

[DoughtyOne]

It has come to the place (for decades actually) that if you support the rule of law, you’re a racist pig.

Good grief, these folk are mentally challenged.

[Jeff Chandler]

It is one of his “Fumblerules.”

[lizma2]

The left who were anti-fascist were simply just communist.

[sparklite2]

... and try not to immanentize the eschaton.

[Major Matt Mason]

I wonder how genuine this The Storm Alliance is. I'd like to see right-leaning news outfits investigate these groups to see if they are legit or phony, like the supposedly far right guy that organized the Charlottesville "protest" who ended up being a supporter of Obama.

[gnarledmaw]

Oops, you peeked backstage. Thats the game of the left and why they fight to convince others that Nazis are on the right. They have set the definitions in the narrative and regardless of which side you pick they still get the authoritarian socialism that fascism and communism embody. Freedom is not a compromise or balance point between the two, it is so far to the right of this skirmish that this border cant be seen.

Far-right, anti-fascist protesters temporarily shut Quebec border crossing

Oh, so they're "far-right"...like Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney...they're, right-wing extremist Republicans....right?

[jmacusa]

Anti-illegal immigration sentiment in Canada? How can they be? The Canadians always say how morally superior they are to us.

[FreedomPoster]

On that note, see the Hayek quote on my profile page. It’s the 3rd one down, 2 paragraphs.

You are 100% correct. They’re both Leftist Totalitarians at their core.

[VanDeKoik]

This group is preventing illegals that are in the U.S. from escaping into Canada!

They must be stopped!
