“La Meute failed. Only about 150 of their members were able to mobilize from all over the province to Quebec’s major metropolis, Montreal, on a holiday Sunday. They were not able to march anywhere on Montreal’s streets, as they intended. They were forced, instead, to spend hours baking in the sun, or hiding in the shade, pinned in on St-Antoine Street West, between de la Cathédrale and Peel, in front of the federal Immigration Canada offices. Their (by all appearances) “whites-only” demo was surrounded by riot police and, on either side of St-Antoine Street, a total of more than 200 anti-racists held both sides of the streets, defiant, and refusing to allow any attempt by La Meute to march. Essentially, the self-described “best demo in our history” involved La Meute members stuck behind police lines, limited to one block for three hours until they dispersed under police escort. Some of their buses were apparently also vandalized. One attempt by La Meute security to get by police lines and try to take the streets was met by chants, an anti-racist smoke grenade, and some well-aimed projectiles. La Meute members were forced to retreat. They never tried to take the streets again.”
