Quebec City police said they arrested 44 people in two waves. They took 21 people into custody around 12:45 p.m. near the convention centre and confiscated disguises, a sling shot, a billy club and bottles containing an unknown liquid.
"It's tough to say to which group they belonged, but it's clear they intended to counter La Meute's demonstration," said André Turcotte, spokesperson for Quebec City police.
A further 23 people were arrested when they failed to follow police orders to disperse later in the day. Officers used tear gas on counter-protesters who were throwing snowballs at them.
The far-right groups organized their own security for the protest. Members of the Three Per Cent — which fashions itself as a militia — were spotted earlier in the day wearing camouflaged bullet-proof vests and carrying billy clubs.
