Two opposing demonstrations are converging on McGill University's Roddick Gates in downtown Montreal today, on the third anniversary of Hamas' October 7, 2023, terrorist attack against Israel.

A pro-Palestinian "Rally Oct 7" organized by SPHR Dawson and allied campus groups is set for 2 p.m.

Just ahead of it, at 1:15 p.m. in the same spot, members of Montreal's Iranian community are holding a counter-demonstration under the banner "Protect Quebec Against Terrorism," rallying behind the pre-revolution Lion and Sun flag with the slogan "Javid Shah" ("long live the Shah").

Rebel News' Montreal student team, Anastasia Zorchinsky and Drew Sylver, are on the ground bringing you live updates as the two sides meet. Follow their coverage below — refresh this page for the latest.
