There were a number of Canadian participants at a violent white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., earlier this month, and there have recently been anti-Islam and anti-immigration rallies in cities such as Quebec City, Calgary and Vancouver.

-----

There are at least 3 false or misleading statements and omissions in one paragraph alone.

1) The number of Canadians participating in the rally has been confirmed at 2, out of a population of 30+ million.

2) The violence began when the mayor declared martial law, revoked the permit of the protesters, ordered the police to disperse the protesters into the waiting hands of antifa, then ordered the police to stand down.  All culminating in the tragic death of a young counter-protester.  By all accounts this was an orchestrated failure of policing that led to the violence and a lone wolf.

3) The recent rallies were protesting RADICAL islamic extremism and ILLEGAL immigration.  There were no racist overtones.
