This article was actually commissioned back in October but I decided to publish it here now. Up to this point I haven’t written a great deal about Atalante owing in large part to my struggles with French despite the hate group being one of the more significant movements in the

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Far Right Rallies and Counter-Rallies: Montreal and Toronto
I’ll be updating this as more information comes out. Two rallies are ongoing. In Montreal members of La Meute and other hate groups are rallying in support of the illiberal policies of the current Quebec government targeting religious minorities. In Toronto Pegida Canada is trying to march. In Montreal Jon

I’ve worked at the same job for close to 20 years and I really do love it. However there are drawbacks. On the one hand, my employment allows me to pay my mortgage. To buy a new car when the old one’s motor explodes in the middle of rural Manitoba.

Not long ago, members of the far-right in the United States were inexplicably confident that the man who struck and killed Heather Heyer and injured several others in Charlottesville would be acquitted despite…. you know…. the actual evidence. On December 7, he was instead found guilty of first degree murder

Quebec correspondent here. It’s been a while. Are you ready for a roundup of what’s been happening here in 2018? Here we go: When we last spoke, Dave Treg (formerly of Soldiers of Odin Québec and Storm Alliance) had quit activism (now he calls himself JUG for ‘Juste un Gars’

Those of us who followed the failed La Meute march this past Sunday expected that they would attempt to spin it as some sort of success despite what was obvious to all involved: Ouin Sébastien Chabot de la Meute (qui va sûrement commenter ci-dessous avec son compte @TrutHurtU) va avoir

UPDATE: The leader of the neo-fascist group Atalante Quebec, Raf Stomper, has been arrested and charged for his role in storming the VICE Quebec offices on May 23rd. The charges are “breaking and entering, mischief, intimidation and criminal harassment.” https://t.co/CMTSj26s0n — Evan Balgord (@ebalgord) June 19, 2018

I spent part of Sunday watching Ronny Cameron’s live feed of the protest by a collection of racists and xenophobes in Quebec near the Lacolle border crossing that was organized by Faith Goldy: Long story short, with references to the “14 words,” “1488,” the “JQ,” and referring to First Nations’ peoples

May is not yet over but it has been busy. As such I decided to combine some of the smaller stories I had been collecting and compile them into one large article. It is long but, believe it or not, I haven't included everything. Before I start, this afternoon members

It appears that the article posted on Sunday showing the federal Conservative leader chatting with Steven Myatt (member of the white nationalist and increasingly antisemitic Northern Guard) while at the UCP's first AGM has garnered some significant interest if the ol' Twitter machine can be believed. One individual did make

I've never made it a secret that ARC's Quebec intel has historically been awful. Thankfully ARC has been able to bolster this deficiency to a degree through the invaluable assistance of a number of Quebec activists over the past year. However when journalists asked for assistance in determining the real

Looking through the photos taken of the anti-Muslim "Christian freedom" protest at Calgary City Hall from last Saturday, I couldn't help noticing some familiar patches on some of the participants. For example, this one comes from fundamentalist nutbar Larry Heather's Twitter account: Yep, those would be Northern Guard members. Truth

A couple of days ago Storm Alliance founder and president Dave Tregett posted a video touting the planned march by the Storm Alliance and La Meute in Quebec Cty. He also expressed confidence in the numbers of those who would be attending which seemed to me a wee bit optimistic:

We’re in the process of collecting information about the Islamophobic protests that took place across the country today, paying particular attention to the counter-protests that opposed them. Thus far it would appear that in most cities, those who came out to support Muslim-Canadians and oppose the Islamophobes were in significant

Yesterday an anti-immigrant rally took place in Quebec City featuring some groups we are well aware of and a few that are knew to us (yes, our Quebec intel still sucks): Anti-immigration groups are heard in QuebecPUBLISHED Saturday, October 15, 2016 13 H 38 About 75 protesters marched in Old
