As the United States barrel towards an election which may very well decide the future of the democratic experiment in that country, extremists such as the Proud Boys (among others) have ramped up the violence in both rhetoric and action with Portland being one of the key flash points: Patriot

Recently, we heard about more antics of the Rebel Media terrorizing everyday Albertans they don’t like (seems to usually be a person of colour or science supporters). Rebel Media, a far right outlet pretending to be the news, has been pushing out conspiracy theories and skewed “news” stories for a

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

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

The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them … To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so

Over the past year, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, the husband of alt-right campus activist Lindsay Shepherd, has received recent coverage for his previous work as an editor for Charles Bausman’s Russia Insider.

Given the election date is fast approaching I thought I’d do a little bit of a deep dive into the federal Conservative Party: Not surprised he stands by those people. @AndrewScheer is unfit #elxn43 #cdnpoli https://t.co/ykkShF5hqf pic.twitter.com/O0d8ZsgTZk — Tanner (@tanneralford1) September 15, 2019 ARC has spent a great deal of

Just a quick reminder that when Travis Patron says he isn’t a Nazi…. that he’s really a Nazi: Patron didn’t like our previous article which was a continuation of our follow-up on the release of the Canadian Nationalist Party membership list: The obvious problem for Patron being that the “defamation”

Anti-Racist Canada and Yellow Vests Canada Exposed are publishing over 250 names of members of newly registered Canadian Nationalist Party.

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

I’m not sure I can articulate how big a deal this is. The National Alliance was founded by William Pierce and under his leadership became the largest hate group in the United States. He is also infamous for having written The Turner Diaries which depicts a violent revolution in the

When it comes to right-wing media in Canada "The Post Millennial" has become an increasingly important source cited by conservative politicians, conservative pundits, your angry uncle insisting taxation is theft during Thanksgiving dinner, the lady who shows up to Parliament Hill at 1:00 am to scream at tourists about chem

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.

A Las Vegas security guard was arrested this past Friday in relation to a plot to attack a number of targets including synagogues and a bar that he believed served primarily the LGTBQ community in the city. The arrest came during the aftermath of two mass shootings in the United

So one of the bigger stories in the world of Canadian far-right personalities was that Faith Goldy willingly gave up on Twitter to spend more time in thoughtful contemplation. However this might be more meaningful if (a) I was convinced she will stay off Twitter and (b) didn't have nearly

Late last month Max Bernier pledged that if elected his government would reduce immigration to Canada to no more than 100,000 to 150,000 though given the parameters he sets out one would be hard pressed to see how this number would be achieved so the actual number would be far

I had been planning on writing an article for the blog detailing Umberto Eco's fourten hallmarks of fascism and even started gathering some relevant screenshots (some of which I have included). However last month I saw that Twitter user Seussterhoff had already posted a series of tweets providing an outline of

I decided to follow up the article I posted yesterday concerning the Canadian far-right’s celebration of Trump’s overtly racist Tweet attacking four Congresswomen of colour (followed by a rally in North Carolina where he reveled in the crowd chanting “send them home!” before lying and claiming he didn’t like it
