Following up on an epic @constellation anarchist bookfair weekend, this morning's fête populaire contre le fascisme with @montrealantifasciste was a resounding success, completely holding the space around the statue of Dollard des Ormeaux where the fascist group Nouvelle Alliance planned to gather for Journée des patriotes. The statue of the French colonist who waged war on the Haudenosaunee was draped in anticolonial symbols, a BBQ served up delicious free food, kids played and got their faces painted, and a dance party got going. The much smaller Nouvelle Alliance group stood meekly by the street corner protected by police.
