Masked men stormed into the Montreal office of the Vice digital media company Wednesday, apparently in an effort to intimidate journalists and show their dissatisfaction with a recent article about the far-right group Atalante Québec. A half dozen members of Atalante — a group considered extreme even by other far-right organizations active in the province — ran around shouting and throwing papers at the employees, Vice reported. They then tossed leaflets and clown noses all over the floor," Vice reporter Simon Coutu wrote on the Vice website. "The group went to my office to offer me a trophy they had tinkered on which read 'VICE media trash 2018.'" The group reproached Vice for what it describes as "provoking an open war" between the far-right and anti-fascists.
