Here's an independent report of what happened in Montreal, too exhausted to add more details but the essential is there.

EDIT: Reddit text removed. Basically I was at the secret meet point meeting some of the guys when 30 girls with masks swarmed me, completely surrounded me, pushed me around on the streets, tried to get strangers to get in on the action, would attempt to grab my phone from my hand. I went down into the subway to get assistance from the subway police who separated me in a utility room until the real police came.
In the end, the police escorted me to a taxi, and i did a few rounds in it before going to the final bar that my current group members were gonna meet up in, i joined them and had a good night even if I was shaken. I'm glad the final meeting place wasn't leaked, that layer of protection did work.
For the record I heavily filtered all the 6 additional dudes that were to join the group for the first time, I had their pictures, social media and telephones. I interviewed them each and spoke to them until i was certain they were one of us. Only 1 out of the 6 did not show up, so I basically heavily suspect him. That is unless the email account got hacked, which I think is rather unlikely in comparison. I really did not expect this however given how careful I was with the filtering.
I wanted to film them but they tried to grab my phone away so i had to keep it in my pocket, i managed to film some of them once i got police protection though, will post later.
