While watching the infighting on the far right regarding the “Save the Children” convoy has been fun I wasn’t going to write about it. Then Jason LaFace did a stream and, well, how could I not then? This clip sort of acts as a summary: So let’s start at the

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Peaceful Red Deer Anti-Racist March A Success; Far-Right Narrative At Odds With Reality
This past Sunday, Red Deer Against Racism and the Black and Indigenous Alliance Alberta (BIAA) held a march in the city of Red Deer, AB. In stark contrast to the event which was to have taken place on September 20 where far-right hateriots and assorted hate groups (instigated by Pat King

This past Sunday the group Red Deer Against Racism with speakers from the Rural Alberta Against Racism (RAAR) and the Black and Indigenous Alliance Alberta (BIAA) had planned on holding a rally in the city of Red Deer, AB. Similar rallies had been held in other rural communities where members

Since late 2015 Canada has experienced a marked increase in the number of far-right groups opposed to the governing Liberal Party, immigration and refugees, Muslims, and the nebulous concept of globalism which in itself is mired in an assortment of conspiracy theories and antisemitism both subtle and overt. While many

On August 29 two rallies took place in the city of Calgary. One was a BLM/Defund the Police rally at city hall which, despite attempts to harass and antagonize the participants by Jeff Clayton, Proud Boys, members of the tiny (and ridiculously named) Woke Onez Rebellion, and others, went off

Although the media reaction to the WEXIT campaign has been mixed with some journalists giving a pass to the more extremist elements of members, others examined them with a more critical eye. It should surprise no one that WEXIT leader Peter Downing has ramped up his rhetoric while the media

February has been a ride. We’re still working on collecting the worst of the worst with the far-right’s response to Wet’suwet’en, which we’ll publish in other article(s) as it deserves. For now, here are some highlights from the last month. A video was posted to YouTube by Hamilton Ed (last

This article is cross-posted with Anti-Racist Sudbury, and can be found on here. ARC has wanted to cover the extensive harassment being suffered by Fierte Sudbury Pride for some time and as our friends at Anti-Racist Sudbury have been writing about this extensively, we felt sharing their work was the right

As ARC enters our third decade, welcome to 2020 folks! I have to admit that I’ve been a little lazy with regard to keeping up with what is happening in Alberta these days. I’ve certainly been meaning to look back at some of the groups and individuals this blog has

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

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

It has been quite a long time since ARC has devoted an article specifically focusing on Steven Ponzi Madoff Lustig McCloundy Myatt. In fact it has been more than half a year since ARC devoted an article to the man who began the quixotic quest to launch a class action lawsuit to have
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Initial Reaction of Far-Right to Election: Meltdown
Since 2015, the far-right in Canada focused on a few key issues including opposing immigration, embracing Islamophobia, perpetuating anti-Globalist conspiracy theories that were both subtlety and overtly anti-Semitic, and promoting racist canards about their fellow Canadians. At the core of many of these groups’ and individuals’ rage — Nouns of

It has now over a week since ARC published the list of Canadian Nationalist Party members which include such individuals as neo-Nazi Paul Fromm, neo-Nazi and former Moose Jaw Soldiers of Odin chapter leader Jody Issel, and Islamophobe and bigot Kevin Johnston. Due to the major national story that broke

Anti-Racist Canada and Yellow Vests Canada Exposed are publishing over 250 names of members of newly registered Canadian Nationalist Party. The Canadian Nationalist Party, a neo-Nazi party led by Travis Patron, became eligible to become a registered federal party on August 29th. Today, we’re publishing the names of over 250

If you'd like to see what ARC and YVCE are planning for the next blog post and you don't mind spoilers, feel free to scroll to the end of this article. Then come back and read through the rest. I don't think you'll be disappointed. By the end of August

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: 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

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

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
