Antifascist

This text was produced by the Montréal Antifasciste Collective and printed in zine format to be distributed for a voluntary contribution at the Constellation Anarchist Festival in Montréal on May 16 and 17, 2026. Update—a Summary to This Point… Three years have passed since the last report outlining the state of the far- right was released by Montréal Antifasciste in the spring of 2023. To put it mildly, the situation has not improved, either in Québec or elsewhere. For the most part, history has continued to move in the wrong direction. ...

An anti-fascist source infiltrated the private chat room of Nomos-TV subscribers. What’s on the agenda and within the comfort zone of this “safe space”? The answer is: unbridled xenophobia and Islamophobia; open contempt for the people of Québec, seniors, civic nationalism, and progressive sovereigntists; misogyny and transphobic hatred; and, of course, a constant stream of degrading remarks about migrants and people of color. In a context where certain reactionary elements of the mainstream media, particularly the Québecor empire, play into the hands of these racist activists by offering them a platform, using the pretext of free speech, we are taking the opportunity to present some of the findings from this undercover operation, reminding everyone—once again—that we will never accept the spread of hate speech in our communities, no matter what the useful idiots and apologists may say. ...

Comrades of Montreal, we share this call from “la Zone” in France. The brown plague knows no borders. The neo-Nazi trolls harassing us use the same codes as the North American far-right. This creative resistance is an echo of your own struggles. Since 2001, laZone.org has been an underground literary site with a resolutely anti-racist and anti-fascist editorial line. Every year, we host Saint-Con: a call for entries based on a simple principle: “On April 10th, for Saint-Con, I burn an asshole (un con)…” and spread the word far and wide across your networks! ...

On March 3, The Tyee , an independent media outlet based in British Columbia, published an article by journalist Rachel Gilmore proving that activists from the Frontenac Active Club (FAC) regularly trained at Alpha Athletika, a gym in Saint-Léonard, apparently at the invitation of former Olympian Giulio Zardo, who was employed there as a coach. We welcome the publication of this article and thank Rachel for her work, hoping that other journalists will finally also start taking these issues seriously. ...

Zine: READ | PRINT Dedication Embarking on this historical mission, it is imperative to pay respects to those who have come before us, fought the most difficult battles and paved the path of struggle with their fortitude. Without them the proposals put forward in this text would not exist, nor the potential of liberation. Specifically we acknowledge Russell Maroon Shoatz, Safiya Bukhari, Carlos Marighella, Lucy Parsons, Kuwasi Balagoon, Lorenzo Orsetti, Yahya Sinwar, Sekou Odinga, Dedan Kimathi, and the many others unnamed for the sake of space, and all those whose names we will never know because they were so brave. ...

A teacher of Culture et citoyenneté québécoise (CCQ) who repeatedly posts homophobic, antisemitic, and white supremacist comments on social media . . . knowing full well that his students will see it. We’re not joking: this is almost a full-time occupation for Billy Savoie, a teacher at the Cité étudiante high school in Roberval. On October 17, he even invited his followers on TikTok and Instagram (including a number of his students, who are minors) to watch him “debate” another internet user whom he (incorrectly) believed to be a neo-Nazi. During this exchange, “Mr. Billy” posited that Adolf Hitler “was right about many things.” ...

Early this morning, autonomous activists in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle recovered a life-size replica of an MK-84 bomb made of papier-mâché and set it on fire near the Port of Montreal, on Notre-Dame Street between Dickson and Viau. The intervention of the fire and police services disrupted traffic. The MK-84 is one of the most devastating bombs in existence. Measuring 3 meters and weighing approximately 2 tons, it is the deadliest bomb on the market, with a blast radius capable of killing up to 1 km around its point of impact. During the first year of the genocide alone, “Israel” dropped more than 14,000 bombs on the Palestinian people. This bomb is shamefully manufactured by General Dynamics, which has a subsidiary in Repentigny. ...

The campaign to isolate Nouvelle Alliance (NA), led by various components of Québec’s anti-fascist movement, has finally borne fruit. First with the events surrounding their failed May 19 rally , where the nationalist identitarian organization showed its true colors by physically attacking anti-fascist activists, and more recently with their attempt to organize a large pro-independence demonstration in Québec City on September 20. This initiative attracted hundreds of independentists who acted to oppose and isolate Nouvelle Alliance, preventing NA from marching. ...

Early in the morning of August 23, the Heritage Village Scotiabank branch (111st & 23ave) in Edmonton had its doors glued shut and windows spray painted with the message “SCOTIABANK FUNDS GENOCIDE”, calling out the bank for its illegal investments in Elbit System, Israel’s largest privately-owned weapons manufacturer. Elbit provides up to 85 percent of the land-based equipment procured by the Israeli military and about 85 percent of its drones. ...

Semaine d’action en solidarité avec la Palestine Depuis 1947, le peuple palestinien lutte contre l’occupation et la colonisation de ses terres par l’entité sioniste (connue sous son nom colonial ‘‘Israël’’). Alors que la création de cette entité sur des terres volées est facilitée par l’ONU, les Palestinien·nes, dépossédé·es et déplacé·es de force dans des territoires de plus en plus grugés par l’entité sioniste, ne se laissent pas faire et résistent à l’envahisseur. Alors que Gaza était assiégée depuis près de 20 ans, la résistance a culminé le 7 octobre 2023 dans un coup de force. Déterminé à ne tolérer le moindre écart de conduite, l’entité sioniste en a profité pour accélérer ses politiques et pratiques génocidaires contre le peuple palestinien avec la complicité de ses allié·es. Bombardé·es et affamé·es délibérément par l’entité sioniste depuis deux ans, les Palestinien·nes à Gaza luttent pour survivre et continuent de résister, tout comme les Palestinien·nes en Cisjordanie et à Jérusalem-Est qui font face à une accélération des attaques des colons et du vol de leurs terres. ...

Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, August 18th, 2025 – it’s with a broken heart and rage in the stomach that autonomous militants targeted Quebecois media tonight, denouncing their biased coverage of the genocide of the Palestinian people, in particular the recent massacre of the Al Jazeera team in Gaza by the Zionist occupation forces. Tonight, we honour our martyred siblings Anas Al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohamed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa of Al Jazeera, Sahat Media journalist Mohammed Al-Khali, Saad Jundiya, and the 262 other journalists who have been killed in this inhumane affront against the freedom of the press. This autonomous action to redecorate the office of the Montreal Gazette (MG) was also in response to the call from the Palestinian resistance, published on July 20th, 2025, calling on international activists to escalate the pressure to open channels of humanitarian aid. ...

On the morning of “Patriot’s Day”, a day where Nouvelle Alliance (a québécois fascist and nationalist group) usually holds an annual show of force, we proved ourselves able to humiliate and claim victory over them. This group tried to assemble itself in front of a statue of Dollard Des Ormeaux, a figure of nationalist mythology whom Nouvelle Alliance tries to rehabilitate glorify and rehabilitate. Every year, they try to have an aesthetic gathering and bring in new members to rehabilitate their own image, tarnished by their venimous discourse and hideous hatred for others. ...
