You know, it I once thought that making fun of the Aryan Guard/Blood & Honour name change as well as the rather lengthy and ostentatious Steven Blah Blah Myatt was sort of funny in my own “I’m-secretly-a-two-year-old” way. But, my god! In Edmonton we now have the Soldiers of Odin/Wolves

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: III% Militia: Purveyors of Conspiracies and Mired in Paranoia
Since many of us who are watching developments on the far-right in this country have been focused on the reactionary Yellow Vest protests I thought I would take a look at how other extremists are viewing the movement. There is a great deal of overlap of course as groups and

Imagine that a political party has emerged which condemns secularism and the separation of church and state, promotes the recriminalization of homosexuality, strong censorship of what it deems to be blasphemous, adherence to strict gender rolls, and which advocates the for their religious views to become the law of the

I've been offline — at least on the blog — for over a week now in part due to finishing up some work-related projects (the work I'm actually paid to do), prepping for the holidays, and a long, long, LONG, drive back to the mother province to visit my family;

When ARC learned that, in addition to the $50,000 legal bill owed to her lawyer, Faith Goldy would also be hit with an additional $43,000 in court costs to Bell Canada I knew that she would face this challenge with grace and dignity…. if by grace and dignity I really
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: My Observations Concerning Saturday’s Anti-UN Migrant Compact Protests
As I watched protests in a number of Canadian cities which were ostensibly about opposing the UN's non-binding agreement setting up guidelines for the orderly and safe movement of people as a violation of Canadian sovereignty but which were in fact anti-immigrant (read: non-white) and Islamophobic in nature, I couldn't
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Maxime Bernier No-Shows Anti-Migrant Protest He Was Set To Headline In Ottawa
Last month we saw Faith Goldy and roughly 40 alt-right (including ID Canada) supporters hold a protest opposing Canada signing the UN Migration Compact. Today in Ottawa was another anti-migrant rally which also features a whose who of racist and Islamophobic groups including La Meute, Storm Alliance, III% militia, Northern

It has been a pretty lousy fortnight for the Proud Boys. While the beginning of the collapse goes back to October which has resulted in a number of arrests, it really picked up steam two weeks after the FBI designated the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalists.

Almost the entirety of this article is the result of the hard work of a source who asked to remain anonymous. I would like to thank this individual their hard work over the past several months Well, I've done an especially lousy job of taking a break. More information emerges

To write that I was gutted as a result of the November 8, 2016 presidential election really undersells how I felt about it. Then again I suppose there were a lot of like minded people in North America and the world who felt the same way. I knew that the

Last week one of the big stories I was following involved the removal of the Proud Boys on Facebook, both group pages and personal profiles. Now one can still find a few there still, but of those that have been removed Proud Boys Canada and Ontario member Tim Kelly are

On October 29, Ricochet broke a story regarding a group of men running a white supremacist website who were also active members of the Canadian military: A Ricochet investigation has unmasked the operators of a white supremacist web store, and they’re active members of the Canadian Forces. Our military says there

Given the events of today especially as well as the preceding days, to write that it has been a bad week would be a horrible understatement. On October 22, a package was found at the home of financier George Soros containing a pipe bomb. Soros has been set up as

As we wind down the municipal election season, I thought it would be instructive to remind ARC readers that both Mississauga mayoral candidate/hate crime chargee/ narcissistic attention seeker/habitual liar Kevin "the Poodle" Johnston and his election volunteer tag along Rick Boswick are both racists: Stay classy you two. A few

There have been a number of stories in the news regarding candidates for the United Conservative Party of Alberta being caught echoing far-right talking points; some of those candidates were disqualified by the party but others remain. It seems that is a feature, and not a bug, of the new

Conrad Peach, the Vancouver Island chapter leader of the Soldiers of Odin, was first discussed in some detail on the blog regarding the SoO's efforts to intimidate homeless people living in a tent city in Nanaimo, BC and subsequent threats to force the residents violently: Well now Peach has taken

One of the claims that the far-right groups make to deny their bigotry is the presence of the odd person of color in their ranks. For example in Washington State, Tusitala “Tiny” Toese acts as an enforcer for the far-right and neo-fascist Patriot Prayer group and is a member of the

Back on August 25, ARC published a story about this guy: Lukas Danford from Barrie, ON was the only person to show up for "No Show" Goudreau's September 30, 2017 rally in Peterborough: The only racist to make themselves known in Peterborough ON (Photo by @lancerlens ) pic.twitter.com/BQF3d52Ae6 — Alissa

I didn’t post much about it since I didn’t want to give them any oxygen, but right now PEGIDA Canada is holding a rally in Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square, ostensibly to memorialize the 2001 9/11 tragedy…. on 9/8 I guess. In reality, it is a cynical ploy to exploit the

Well, the past week has certainly been interesting if you are interested in fringe alt-right Toronto mayoral candidates: Looking forward to @marksaunderstps @TPSOperations & @JohnTory being loud & clear that police are not permitted to campaign in uniform (for anyone, but especially for Nazi sympathizers) and that these guys were
