A recent article from Omar Mosleh detailed a number of racist poster campaigns across Canada, focusing on the latest shift from ID Canada towards ecofascism. From The Base to Proud Boys to ID Canada, to more generic (on the surface, anyway) posters and stickers, the issue has grown – and

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: A Re-examination of An Old Story: Jake Logan Findell
It has been more than a year since Ricochet published a piece linking a UCP staff member to an overly racist online military surplus store: Adam Strashok (left) with former Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall The story of Adam Strashok turned out to be a bit of a rabbit hole in

On September 29 Maxime Bernier held a PPC fundraising event in Hamilton, featuring Dave Rubin. There were a number of scuffles at the event, and eyewitnesses informed us that not only did the Proud Boys assault multiple people, but that Hamilton Police Services refused to take any statements and instead

It has been two weeks since ARC published the list of members of the Canadian Nationalist Party, a list that includes neo-Nazis Paul Fromm and Jody Issel, Faith Goldy supporter (and Max Bernier bodyguard apparently) Darik Horn, and Islamophobe Kevin Johnston among others such as this fella who sent us

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

Alternate title? “Everyone I Don’t Like is a Libtard Antifa!” For the remainder of his life, Chris Vanderweide will be known as the guy who sucker punched people attending a Pride event in Hamilton and wildly swinging a helmet while wearing what looked to be ill-fitting paint ball gear. This was

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

Racists apparently don’t take long weekends off, and neither do we. PEGIDA held their monthly hate-rally in Toronto, and it was decidedly quieter than usual. @VestsCanada damn 8 huh? Oooo. 1 more and you can field a softball team! pic.twitter.com/pBVstudPUS — Alex Oliveira (@OlivesXander) August 31, 2019 PEGIDA is reportedly

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

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
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

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

ARC spent the weekend covering the Pegida rally in Toronto and counter-protest as well as the events that resulted afterward, however we neglected other important news of the day. In Hamilton, the Yellow Vesters continued to protest outside city hall as they’ve done since the winter. The extremists who attacked

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

Because I've decided, at least for the next few weeks or perhaps months, to limit the amount of research and writing I've been doing (trying to create a bit of a balance between real world work, anti-racist activism, and a social life) there will be a few articles that are

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
