Anecdotal evidence suggests that despite Maxime Bernier's claim to reject the extremists who have been attracted to his new right-wing party, the PPC in fact has been courting those very same people. Bernier with Georges Massaad Certainly there are the dog whistles regarding multiculturalism, immigration, and identity politics that Bernier is

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: The Media Enablers, Q1 2019 Edition
The discussion — and by “discussion” I mean valid and harsh criticism — of the Canadian media’s treatment of white supremacist events, ideas and personalities has been heating up in the first few months of 2019. It is astonishing that in an era where we have access to more information

In discussing the murder of 50 Muslim worshipers in Christchurch, New Zealand once can't help but note that the title of the murderer's fevered ranting that he generously calls a "manifesto" that the title is one that anyone familiar with the identitarian movement would be familiar with: In addition to
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: "I Disagree With Violence But….": The Justification and Celebration of the Christchurch Mosque Murders By Paul Fromm and Robert Jones
It didn't take long for the likes of Paulie to try and justify the murder of 50 adults and children worshiping at two Christchurch mosques. In a post on his blog, Fromm posted the entirety of the murderer's "manifesto" along with his own forward justifying the attack while couching that

Or he is reaching out to his natural base? Time will tell. In any case, remember this? Yeah, this looked bad, especially considering it seems that Bernier (or at least his handlers) knew exactly what kind of people the Proud Boys were. At least his judgement couldn’t be worse, right?
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Major Media White Washes Yellow Vests Movement and Convoy to Ottawa: Ignores Racism, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, Homophobia, and Misogyny Endemic to Reactionary Movement
On Tuesday last week, "The National" on CBC uncritically profiled the Yellow Vests movement and provided a forum for overt hate groups such as the former Nouns of Odin now going by the name the Clann. There was little to no mention of the racism rife within the movement and
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Robert Jones Embraces Fascism
During the years I’ve been working on the blog there have been a few characters that have stuck out not only for their racist, antisemitic, homophobic, and/or Islamophobic views, but also for being bloody odd. One such figure is Robert Jones: Jones has been a frequent participant in a number
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Ronny Cameron and Richard Spencer: The Thrill Is Gone
ARC hasn’t published much about Ronny Cameron in some time, mainly because there hasn’t been much to write about. Oh, he’s still the same jackass he’s always been, but he hasn’t exactly been doing much. He’s still putting out the occasional videos which rehash the same tired racist tropes he’s
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: For Someone Who Claims He Doesn’t Support Nazis, Travis Patron Sure Does Associate With A Lot Of Nazis
In the follow-up article to an earlier article posted to ARC regarding a planned event by Travis Patron and the Canadian Nationalist "Party", it was noted that the event had been cancelled and Patron made a not-so-subtle threat directed at myself and other anti-racist activists. Now for someone who claims
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Guest Article From Ottawa: “Yellow Vests” Ottawa Falling Apart Over Truck Convoy Police Talks
The Yellow Vest protests have so far attracted only a handful of people in Ottawa every Saturday and might very well be the most poorly attended in all Canada if we go by a participant-to-population ratio. As such it wouldn’t deserve too much attention, but the fact that Ottawa is
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: "White Nationalist" Travis Patron Trying To Book Room For Speech at University of Toronto
While ARC has been critical of the mainstream media in the past for not looking deeply enough at the ideology of the far right, it has been doing a better job of late. One journalist who I've found has been consistently good though is Stewart Bell who wrote the following
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: "Tim vs Tim! Tim vs Tim!"
Remember this guy? That’s Timothy Reid Gavin, member of the Proud Boys from Hamilton who was involved in the rather disastrous march in the city which ‘lil old ARC exposed (with a lot of help from some insiders). Well, I guess I should have written “member of the Proud Boys” in
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Hard Times: Faith Goldy, Lauren Southern, and Gavin McInnes
While the reactionary Yellow Vest protests in Canada were mostly failure outside Alberta, I wasn’t surprised when I learned that Faith Goldy showed up to the poorly-attended event in Toronto. There Goldy, newly married and being accompanied by a small group of desperate young men who are not her husband
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: The Continued Collapse of the Proud Boys: A Bried Look At Gavin McInnes, Tim Kelly, and Matt Linder
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.

So it has been a while since ARC checked up on failed mayoral candidate Faith Goldy since her…. well…. failed mayoral campaign. Last I checked she was calling for a boycott of Bell Canada which I'm sure was a totally principled stance and not at all self-serving: I thought I'd

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

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

It has been an interesting 24 hours. One of the biggest stories has been the general deplatforming of the Proud Boys primarily on Facebook but on Twitter as well. The Proud Boys Canada page has been taken down and it also appears that some familiar faces, such as Tim Kelly,

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
