ultranationalist groups: We want to send a message, we want the government to send a message to anybody that wants to cross over illegally, unlawfully that there's going to be people looking out for you, said Dave Tregget, the national president of Storm Alliance, according to CBC. As dozens donned black T-shirts and patrolled the crossing Saturday morning, they were met by a counter protest organized by a migrant advocacy group. Storm Alliance and La Meute, self-described ultranationalist groups, organized a demonstration in time for the nation's 150th anniversary at Roxham Road to protest would-be refugee claimants crossing the border on foot. Popular crossing spot for would-be refugee claimants raises concern among 'ultranationalists' Holding up colourful posters welcoming refugees, Solidarity Across Borders members also gathered at the popular spot for asylum seekers. They say they're defending the charter of rights well if you're really defending the charter of rights defend the rights of refugees to cross and make their claims. They are a group that's enabling racism and hiding behind other issues, said Montreal-based activist Jaggi Singh.
