There will be violence if the two sides are allowed to get close to each other..
Why not have one extremist side march and yell one weekend and the following weekend the other equally wacky and violent group and can have their turn..
Quebec City's emergency services would probably welcome the idea.
Montreal Antifasciste says in a statement it's calling on anti-fascist and anti-racist groups to head to the provincial capital to oppose La Meute's demonstration.
The call comes after at least two Quebecers were identified participating in a white supremacist rally last week in Charlottesville, Va.
One of them, outed as a member of La Meute, was suspended from the right-wing group pending an investigation.
Quebec City police say they are aware of the possibility of duelling protests.
Police spokesman David Poitras says that while the right to protest is a constitutional right, authorities won't tolerate violence, vandalism or other criminal acts.

Oh yeah, duelling is legal here in Canada now, this should be entertaining :punish: :bash3: :t0135:

Not for me it won't..
But, it will be the same thing as South of the border with politicians milking it to shame opposing politicians into saying the problem is only one side and not the other..
Keep this circus in the USA please.
I think they should cordon off a section and let them just have at it..

I'm sure you are not alone in that opinion realgrimm.

I don't think it really matters. The result will be rocks and piss filled balloons thrown.
I checked and several Quebeckers participated in the riots in Charlottesville on the far right side. I don't know if any people from Quebec went down for the far left side.
I'm really sick of violent anarchist protesters period.

We've had mix ups in Calgary and both sides are equally intolerant..
Perhaps realgrimm's suggestion has some merit.

Then let's start treating everyone as equals.

Double standards.
Isn't tolerance as long as you only tolerate what the elites tell us to.

NO!
Tolerance is not hating on people just because they are black or Jewish or Muslim.
You are Canadian FFS! Why don't you know this????!?
Grimm, that black girl is smart and funny too.

I think you mean intolerance. But, you have a point.
Two hate groups fight each other in public. Only one side gets blamed.
Why?
Because the media is part of one of the hate groups.

You can't argue with that. For being such a smarmy little shit, sometimes you make sense.
An anti-racism counter-protest that turned violent has resulted in members of a far-right group being pinned in a Quebec City parking lot.
A group called La Meute organized a march to call for stronger border controls amid a sharp increase in the number of asylum seekers crossing illegally into Quebec from the U.S. About 200 people showed up.
Before their protest had officially started, however, they were forced to retreat to an underground lot by opponents.
The turn of events prompted one of the group's leaders, Stephane Roch, to question the way the two sides have been portrayed.
Why does everyone call us far right when they're the violent ones?" he said in the parking lot, where people were passing around water bottles and complaining of the heat.
Claudia Rochette, one of the people joining in the far-right protest, said Mayor Denis Coderre's decision to declare Montreal a sanctuary city was a turning point for her.

So now people who disagree with the recent spike in refugees crossing the border are silenced with intimidation and violence. More unnecessary work for emergency services which means more money wasted by Quebec City. It's cheaper and less dangerous to let the far right have their little protest. Antifa groups, you're making things worse. For Christ sakes, just stay away.

Antifa is like a bull in a china shop.
Stopping peaceful demonstrations by force really offends my libertarian sensibilities.
