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

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Hate Groups Partied "For the Vets" In Failed PR Attempt
On Saturday a variety of hate groups (Yellow Vests Canada, Northern Guard, Proud Boys, C3) organized and attended the “Canada’s Patriot Party” in Estevan, Saskatchewan, a fundraiser for vets an attempt to generate positive PR and disguise their hate by donating funds from the concert to VETS Canada, a non-profit

This is late in coming not because ARC wasn't following it practically in real time but because we wanted to see where it was going. We do however have to thank the folks with Edmonton Against Fascism for covering this from the start and keeping us up to date. Oh,
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: After Being Shoved Tarek Fatah Strikes White Nationalist and Faith Goldy Supporter Derek Harrison With Cane At Bernier’s PPC Immigration Speech
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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Anti-LGTBQ and Islamophobic Extremist Chris Vanderweide is REALLY Good at Alienating People
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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Paul Fromm with Maxime Bernier: Pleased With PPC Immigration Platform
So rather than engaging in the usual long-winded lead up I engage in, let’s just get to the point on this one: Yep, white supremacist Paul Fromm, seen here with Max Bernier happily patting him on the back, is pleased with the PPC platform regarding immigration. Though he’s not as

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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Suspected Active Military Member of Northern Guard
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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Chris Vanderweide Arrested and (Wait For it) Far Right Infighting
As a result of his actions (assaults) in Hamilton at a Pride event and Toronto after a Pegida rally, Chris Vanderweide had been ridding rather high as a result of the praise he had been receiving from members of hate groups such as the Northern Guard, the Canadian Nationalist Party,
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Blood & Honour/Combat 18 Listed as Outlawed Terrorist Organizations
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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Ron Banerjee: "Let’s get into a big fight right inside the Eaton’s Centre." Attack After Pegida Rally Looks Pre-meditated
We’re still going over the events that occurred after yesterday’s Pegida rally. Ron Banerjee who was also in attendance (though we didn’t know it at the time) posted a grainy video of an attack inside a Toronto mall: We later learned that the mall was the Eaton’s Centre. Later in
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Violence After Pegida March: Northern Guard Attack Counter-Protester an Rick Boswick Admits to Assaulting People
Well, this didn’t take long: As counter-protesters were making sure the fascists left the downtown, this video shows two members of the Northern Guard assaulting one of them. ARC has heard of a number of instances of counter-protesters being isolated at attacked. One evidently ended up in the hospital. Rick

On June 7, 2019 a number of hate and patriot groups participated in a Yellow Vests Canada rally in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, including Soldiers of Odin, Wolves of Odin, Northern Guard, Canadian Nationalist Party, and Proud Boys. 1. We’re gathering what we can from #HamOnt today, but I wanted to

A few days ago I read an article written by the amazing Caroline Orr concerning the "weaponization" hate propaganda targeting especially Muslims under the guise of a "conservative news" source: By hiding behind the facade of a "news network," this Facebook page managed to stay active for 3 years 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

In light of PEGIDA Canada’s Jenny Hill’s failed attempt to crowdfund for her $11,000 judgment, we thought it prudent to bring to the public’s attention another PEGIDA related GoFundMe that deserves similar attention and action. Yellow Vests Canada members, PEGIDA supporters, general hatemongers, and self-professed “Domestic War Reporters” Rick Boswick and Derek

Sooooo, remember when these people claimed to be opposed to Islamic extremism, but not Muslims? No one believed that then nor does anyone believe it now: Here’s Andre Ch (Cdn Nationalist Party) Derek Storie/Rick Boswick (Yellow Vest), and members of Wolves of Odin, Proud Boys, and other Cdn Nationalist Party

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
