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

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Canadian Far-Right Responds to the Murder of Two Protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin
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

After more than 12 years, in January 2020, the founder of the ARC blog, Kurt Phillips, stepped away, passing the blog to new writers. Since then, he has contributed the the Canadian Anti-Hate Network as both a writer and a board member. This is Kurt’s first guest article. You can

February has been a ride. We’re still working on collecting the worst of the worst with the far-right’s response to Wet’suwet’en, which we’ll publish in other article(s) as it deserves. For now, here are some highlights from the last month. A video was posted to YouTube by Hamilton Ed (last

The RCMP raids of Wet’suwet’en territory set off a series of rail blockades in defense of the First Nations’ community. Some of the blockades have been in place for over two weeks, and regardless of how illegal the RCMP actions are far-right groups have begun to show impatience with the
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

Jayme Knyx of the Yellow Vests is best known for organizing a fundraising concert called Canada’s Patriot Party – that was loaded with hate groups – for veterans with donations intended for VETS Canada. While doing so, he set up a (presumably) phony GoFundMe campaign for aforementioned concert without VETS Canada’s knowledge. VETS Canada

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

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

In 1947, a short film was produced by the American War Department warning Americans to be wary of racist demagogues and the dangers they pose to democratic institution: The film was produced in response to horrors of a global war still fresh in the memories of the American public in

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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Concert Organized By Extremists Connected To Northern Guard Collapsing; Extremists Whine In Response
Back in 2018, the Nick Gallant of the Northern Guard was claiming to be in the process of organizing a concert to benefit veterans: First, I don't think System of a Down was ever in talks to appear. Second, think Nick might have been a little disingenuous in suggesting ARC

I created the blog in November 2007 in large part to monitor the Aryan Guard, a Calgary-based hate group founded by Kyle McKee that I saw as having an incredible potential for violence. Eventually the Aryan Guard “patched over” to become Canada’s first official (though there had been individuals affiliated

I'm going to provide an update on what occurred when members of a number of hate groups attacked participants at a Pride event in Hamilton momentarily, but I first need to discuss events that took place in Vancouver at an anti-SOGI rally: And a scuffle breaks out between a few

In the aftermath of the events earlier this month, hate groups in Hamilton have escalated their campaign of harassment and violence. Today the target was Pride celebrations in the city. A group of protesters including hate street preachers Philip Ness Thomas and John Mark Moretti, members of the overtly racist and

It began in Constantinople — well, to be fair it actually began somewhere along the silk road in Central Asia — in 1347. By the time the Black Death had run its course between 1/3 and 1/2 of Europeans who contracted bubonic plague were dead. While some kingdoms, duchies, and

This is going to be long and disjointed. I'm also going to miss a lot of stories others are covering. Still, I thought it appropriate to provide a brief summary of what is happening on the far-right during the latter month of May. For starters, this happened: Marc Lemire, the

Yesterday I posted an article detailing a thread on the reactionary Yellow Vests Canada Facebook page which discussed the murder of 49 worshipers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Given what has been published here and by others (Yellow Vests Canada Exposed and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network) readers will

Well it seems the efforts of Yellow Jackets Canada Exposed and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (and perhaps to some small extent my own) have resulted in a statement regarding David Selvers from someone who looks to be an organizer for the convoy: Well that's just lovely, however his Facebook post

Back on January 28, an off-duty RCMP officer heard a man calling for a lost dog. When he tried to help the man whose name is Tony Green, this happened: When the officer attempted to help the man locate his dog, Green allegedly pulled out a pistol and pointed it
