We haven’t really done a bits and bites article in some time but we thought we would do so now. Please forgive our omissions in this purposely irreverent look back at the month of bigots behaving badly, often towards each other. In the last article we discussed the antics of

There has been a lot written about the QAnon conspiracy theory since it began, especially with violent acts perpetrated by its supporters so we felt it was important to discuss the movement, and how it has spread to Canada. Pre QAnon: Pizzagate Before QAnon another conspiracy theory popped up concerning

Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was shot and paralyzed by police last week, which set off major protests in the city. It was during one of these protests that Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17 year old boy from Antioch, Illinois, who is a member of a right-wing militia, shot

It’s not a surprise that the far-right have latched onto every conspiracy under the sun with respect to Covid-19; this is where they live. It’s also not a surprise that they’re willing to put people in danger in order to bolster what they believe to be the truth, while maintaining

This article is cross-posted with Anti-Racist Sudbury, and can be found on here. ARC has wanted to cover the extensive harassment being suffered by Fierte Sudbury Pride for some time and as our friends at Anti-Racist Sudbury have been writing about this extensively, we felt sharing their work was the right

As ARC enters our third decade, welcome to 2020 folks! I have to admit that I’ve been a little lazy with regard to keeping up with what is happening in Alberta these days. I’ve certainly been meaning to look back at some of the groups and individuals this blog has

It has been more than a year since Ricochet published a piece linking a UCP staff member to an overly racist online military surplus store: Adam Strashok (left) with former Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall The story of Adam Strashok turned out to be a bit of a rabbit hole in

It has been quite some time since we’ve heard from Kevin “Poodle” Johnston which is odd since rarely have we seen someone who liked to hear the sound of his own voice than him. We did however catch a recording in which he claimed nefarious individuals in the GTA had

Our research into Canadian members of Iron March based on the leaked forum information is ongoing. Suffice it to say we’ve been finding some especially interesting individuals who will be profiled here on the blog in time. However November has been an especially eventful month so I thought I’d do

A few days ago while collecting screenshots for a future article on billionth and one example of far-right infighting I came across this post on Canadian Combat Coalition leader Dan Dubois' Facebook profile: It behooves me to mention that none of what is claimed here is actually true. "Truthful." Remember

On Saturday long time hockey commentator Don Cherry went on a racist rant during his Coaches Corner segment on Hockey night in Canada: You people … that come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Initial Reaction of Far-Right to Election: Meltdown
Since 2015, the far-right in Canada focused on a few key issues including opposing immigration, embracing Islamophobia, perpetuating anti-Globalist conspiracy theories that were both subtlety and overtly anti-Semitic, and promoting racist canards about their fellow Canadians. At the core of many of these groups’ and individuals’ rage — Nouns of

In late August, Jayme Knyx and Jay Riedel hosted the Canadians’ Patriot Party in Estevan, SK. Inevitably, it was attended by multiple hate groups, such as C3, Northern Guard, PEGIDA, Proud Boys, and of course, Yellow Vests Canada. It caused quite a stir, since we alerted VETS Canada – a

Alternate title? “Everyone I Don’t Like is a Libtard Antifa!” For the remainder of his life, Chris Vanderweide will be known as the guy who sucker punched people attending a Pride event in Hamilton and wildly swinging a helmet while wearing what looked to be ill-fitting paint ball gear. This was

I think this is going to end up being a different article than readers might be used to. So before I start I’m going to include some links. If you think someone you love is or is at risk of being radicalized by extremist propaganda or you yourself have fallen down

The Canadian Yellow Vest members in the Hamilton area continue to hold their Saturday rallies and they’ve been as wacky as anything YVC has organized so far. On August 10th Yellow Vest and very troubled man Martin Brousseau drove his destined-for-the-scrap-heap bus onto the sidewalk towards counter protesters. Dubbed the

I know there's a tendency for ARC to highlight the rampant dysfunction and infighting of the far-right groups we cover on the blog (as our friends with Yellow Vests Canada Exposed did in our last article) and as a result we've been accused of being a bit of a gossip

As a result of Yellow Vest Canada Exposed's efforts to bring attention to a far right concert hosted by one former and one (maybe) current member of the white nationalist Northern Guard, the mainstream press has taken an interest. For example Mack Lamoureux of Vice News Canada published a story on
