Storm Alliance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Storm Alliance is a Canadian anti-immigration group. It describes itself as "ultranationalist" and opposes the Canadian government's immigration policies, which it calls "collective suicide".[1] The group has drawn attention for staging protests at Lacolle, Quebec, against asylum seekers entering across the Canada–United States border at Roxham Road.[2] It has called them "illegal immigrants"[3] and has demanded the Government of Canada reimburse the province of Quebec for the costs incurred for handling them.[4]

Storm Alliance was founded in December 2016[3] by Dave Tregget, who had earlier founded the Quebec chapter of the Finnish far-right group Soldiers of Odin. The group denies any connection with Soldiers of Odin, and Tregget is no longer president of Storm Alliance.[2] The group has participated in protests alongside other far-right groups in Quebec such as La Meute and Atalante.[3]
