There are a number of people who are covering this event. I'll see what I can do to provide up-to-date information:
Donc apparement le groupe d'extrême droite Storm Alliance a décidé d'aller au @IGAQC, 60 route 202 près de Lacolle, pour stationner leurs voitures.— Le Troupeau (@LetroupeauQC) May 19, 2018
Qu'est-ce que pense @IGAQC d'être le stationnement pour les gens de ce groupe d'extrême droite ? #onestpasracistes pic.twitter.com/kKTGyCMKCq
Anti-fascists and migrant justice organizers will be present at BOTH Lacolle and Roxham Road this Saturday to block the anti-immigrant racist far-right, and to declare: Open The Borders!

I'm at the Lacolle border, where dozens of anti-racists are waiting to counter Storm Alliance's demonstration. The far right group had planned to demonstrate at Roxham Road-the main site of irregular border crossings-until pressure from anti-racists and media caused them to move— Jon Milton (@514jon) May 19, 2018
Pro-refugee community groups have rallied at the Lacolle border to counter a protest scheduled for 1pm organized by an anti-immigration group, who are calling on stricter border controls. pic.twitter.com/nzFM0em6FH— Felicia Parrillo (@feliciaparrillo) May 19, 2018
