It was bad
There were people who came out to counter-protest all across BC it seems, and in some places it looks like they managed to outnumber the fascists, which was really good to hear. In my city, it was like 200 to one against us
Not only that, but the people there were convinced we could talk it out with them. Obviously, they were extremely lost in the sauce of right wing conspiracy theories, so that wasn't going to happen. I got tone policed for the first time in my life, and I can now confirm that it is in fact a very shitty experience!
I'm pretty shaken by the whole thing but I'm happy that I was there. It looks like we have a lot of work to do ahead of us

It's scary how quickly all this happened. I was sure nobody would come I only learned about it last Saturday. I wanted to put up posters and shit but I didn't have the time.
I hate to think that I'd need to start following right wing media to get ahead of this sort of thing. I also hate to thing these people have so much energy they'd be able to organize things of this magnitude at the drop of a hat. I've never seen the Canadian right this amped up in my life
