INTRODUCTION: Hamilton is in crisis. It may seem alarmist to use that word, but when we review the events of the past year, it is impossible to come to any other conclusion. I believe I can speak for all of us at ARC Collective when I say that we are

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Hamilton Ontario: A Troubling Timeline
INTRODUCTION: Hamilton Ontario is in crisis. It may feel alarmist to use that word, but when the entirety of the year’s events are reviewed, it’s impossible to come to any other conclusion. I believe I can speak for all of us at ARC Collective that we are deeply distressed that,

After James Sears was led away in handcuffs last week, the sentencing of LeRoy St. Germaine to one year house arrest for promoting hatred against women and Jews is anti-climactic at best. While he received the maximum one year penalty (6 months/count), he avoided jail time because, according to Justice

As the sentencing hearing for Your Ward News editor, James Sears, and publisher, LeRoy St. Germaine, resumed this afternoon, I started taking bets with friends about whether it would drag on longer. It was clear after my last post that Paul Fromm, if no one else, maintained his enthusiasm and

On August 12th, 28-year-old Toronto resident, Talya Davidson, was videotaped hurling racist insults and spitting on a man in Nathan Phillips Square while holding a sign supporting CPC leader, Andrew Scheer. She was subsequently arrested and charged with one count of assault and 3 counts of assaulting a police officer.

The victims are tired. The journalists are tired. The judge and crown attorneys are no doubt tired. I’m tired of writing about it, and heck, I think even the racists are tired. But the sentencing hearing for Your Ward News’ editor James Sears, and publisher, LeRoy St. Germaine, has been
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Sears and St. Germaine’s sentencing delayed yet again
Here we are with yet another chapter in what seems like the never-ending saga of the James Sears/LeRoy St. Germaine sentencing hearing. Those of you who have stuck with me through this mess will recall that Sears and St. Germaine of Your Ward News were convicted of wilfully promoting hatred

Something stinks in Barrie Ontario. In March of this year, on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Barrie City Councillor, Keenan Aylwin, called out two local CPC MPs, John Brassard and Alex Nuttall, for remaining silent after Scheer spoke at United We Roll. He also pointed out

Today was supposed to be a good day. James Sears was supposed to be sentenced, which would likely have meant handcuffs and jail for him this morning, May 31st, 2019. But then, yesterday news broke that it wasn’t going to happen. At least not yet. I thought maybe it had

While trying to piece together media reports and accounts from ARC supporters of the Your Ward News sentencing hearing this morning, one word keeps coming to mind: circus. Sears answers media questions outside court, flanked by skinheads and other supporters. April 26, 2019 (Photo submitted by an ARC reader.) Your

Christie PitsWritten by Jamie MichaelsIllustrated by Doug FedrauDirty Water Comics I realize book reviews are a bit of a departure for ARC, but occasionally a book comes along that captures important moments in Canada’s history of racism and antisemitism earning itself a spotlight here. Christie Pits, which tells the story

ARC would like you to meet Darik Horn. Here he is getting settled in at a Canadian Anti-Hate Network event in Newmarket, Ontario this week: Darik has a lot going for him compared to many of his colleagues. For one thing, he's book smart. Or should I say, computer smart.

The discussion — and by “discussion” I mean valid and harsh criticism — of the Canadian media’s treatment of white supremacist events, ideas and personalities has been heating up in the first few months of 2019. It is astonishing that in an era where we have access to more information

We last saw James Sears and LeRoy St. Germaine of Your Ward News enjoying the media spotlight on January 24th after being found guilty of hate crimes against women and Jews under S319(2) of the criminal code. If you hop over to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, you can view Justice

NOTE: This is from ARC’s newest writer, officially making the ARC Collective actually a collective again. Those following along this week know that Paul Fromm is being investigated for publishing the Christchurch shooter’s manifesto on his CAFE website. ARC has since learned that Fromm also published the manifesto, and the
