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: A Deep Dive into The Federal Conservative Party
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

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.

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;
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Far-right Canadian Yellow Vest Reactionaries – Promoters of Violence and Conspiracy Theories, Already At Each Others’ Throats
As they did last week when they unoriginally co-opted the French Yellow Vest protests (Mouvement des gilets jaunes), the far-right reactionaries organized another Saturday of protests in a number of Canadian cities. In most cases the numbers were down significantly from the previous Saturday (and even then outside Ottawa, Calgary,
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: Canadian Connection To Man Who Murdered Heather Heyer
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
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

This past Saturday, members of La Meute traveled to Kanesatake (Oka), PQ to hold a rally…. or something. Ostensibly claiming to be trying to forge some sort of ties with First Nations’ people there, given they showed up uninvited strike me more as an effort to intimidate. If that is
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer Plays The Racist Card. Again
When Mad Max Bernier stormed out of the Conservative Party to begin his racist crusade, the failing Andrew Scheer had a big choice to make.He could repudiate Bernier, and try to fool Canadians into believing that his Cons are a moderate party attuned to Canadian values.Or he could try to

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

The fallout from Le Troupeau‘s expose of Diane Blain and her association with the Storm Alliance and Front Patriotique du Québec continues to reverberate in Canadian political news. To recap, Blain and other members of a the far right Front Patriotique du Québec managed to get into a Liberal Party event. Ms.

I suspect that all of this is in part a fallout from the failed WCAI rally in Toronto last Saturday. If there is any consolation for members of the Canadian far-right, they aren't the only ones having a lousy time: Exclusive: Leaks show how Boston ‘free speech’ group acts as

This article is going to be rather screen shot heavy. I think it's worth it though. Hey there readers. You remember when Joey Deluca of the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam posted this article on their then website (which appears to have been deep-sixed) about their planned march in Toronto on

It has been a little over a week since the horrible tragedy in Toronto's Danforth area occurred that resulted in the murder of a young woman and a child with more than a dozen injured. Right now this is what is known: 1. Because I love you, I spent the morning

ARC has a number of individuals to thank for this article, however one provides the blog with the bulk of the material that follows. I would like to thank her/him, as well as all of those others who assisted in this work, for the invaluable contribution that made this article

Any objective analysis of the Canadian Combat Coalition rally on Parliament Hill this past weeks could only conclude it was an unmitigated disaster and no amount of spin can change that fact. Brief Recap of Canadian Combat Coaltion Rally in Ottawa: "No Show" Goudreau Show Day Two of Canadian Combat

I was actually out for much of the day and didn’t have much of an opportunity to follow the events in Ottawa. I had surmised that it would likely be about the same size of the Million Canadian March organized for Parliament Hill the previous summer, perhaps in the range

This is the eve of the Canadian Combat Coalition rally in Ottawa. Personally I’m not sure exactly how well attended it will actually be. No may be some III militia members, Proud Boys, Northern Guard members, and the Soldiers/Sons/Wolves of Odin. Yep, there are three groups now that “____” of
