On Thursday, Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick appeared before the House of Commons justice committee to address questions concerning SNC-Lavalin, however he also discussed the increasingly dangerous political climate specifically referring to an incident during the United We Roll/Yellow Vests rally that occurred earlier in the week: Pro or anti #pipeline

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: More Extremists Associated With Yellow Vests Convoy to Ottawa: Christopher Hayes
Well it seems the efforts of Yellow Jackets Canada Exposed and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (and perhaps to some small extent my own) have resulted in a statement regarding David Selvers from someone who looks to be an organizer for the convoy: Well that's just lovely, however his Facebook post

Last week the Clann which is an amalgam of the Wolves of Odin (which was formerly the Soldiers of Odin), Patriot Pride Canada, Canadian Infidels, Odin's Heathens, and a partridge in a pear tree harassed members of an Edmonton mosque. They claimed to be innocent lambs there only to ask questions and to use
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Nouns of Odin, Now Re-Branded The Clann, Harass Edmonton Mosque Worshipers and Local Businesses
You know, it I once thought that making fun of the Aryan Guard/Blood & Honour name change as well as the rather lengthy and ostentatious Steven Blah Blah Myatt was sort of funny in my own “I’m-secretly-a-two-year-old” way. But, my god! In Edmonton we now have the Soldiers of Odin/Wolves
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: Guest Article: Schism in Edmonton Reactionary Yellow Vest Protest
I admit that I haven’t been following the various reactionary Yellow Vest protests in every community where they are occurring unless something jumps out at me (like the participation of former Aryan Guard member and supporter Tom Trenerry and Dara Graham respectively). So on January 5 when the Yellow Vesters
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Reactionary Yellow Vest Protesters Feeling Heat
It has been a while since ARC has discussed the seemingly marginally employed transient Steven Myatt, and I don't plan on going into a lot of detail. He's now living in Calgary and has unsurprisingly hooked up with local extremists, including the reactionary Yellow Vest protesters. Yesterday he posted the
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

It was a matter of time before Paulie, a man who has been at the center of Canadian far-right movement for close to 50 years and who is now desperately trying to maintain relevance today, would associate himself with the latest unoriginal fad the Canadian far-right have adopted: Add Paulie
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Dara "Nazi Mom" Graham and Thomas Trenerry Active In Yellow Vest Movement
You know, it has been a while since ARC has written about the “Nazi Mom” (aka: “Aryanprincess1488“) who lost her kids after she and her then husband attended an Aryan Guard rally back in 2008. For years ARC referred to Dara Graham as “Nazi Mom” but as she seems to
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Yellow Vest Extremists: Two Case Studies From Edmonton and Calgary
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: Money Money Money: Faith Goldy Tries to Pay Legal Bill and Tyler Malenfant of Yellow Vests Canada Promotes Vague Fund Raiser
When ARC learned that, in addition to the $50,000 legal bill owed to her lawyer, Faith Goldy would also be hit with an additional $43,000 in court costs to Bell Canada I knew that she would face this challenge with grace and dignity…. if by grace and dignity I really
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

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.

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

Meet Tyson Hunt, formerly leader of the Edmonton chapter of the Soldiers of Odin: Hunt had some pretty lofty goals for the SoO in Edmonton after he became leader as evidenced by the post from his own Facebook profile, even if he also managed to mangle the language: I can't

Well, this happened: Two years ago I joined the Edmonton chapter of the Soldiers of Odin in an attempt to learn more about the group. Today that chapter was forced to disband by the other Canadian leaders after too much negative media attention. They’re rebranding.https://t.co/FsCHKOYq69 — Mack Lamoureux (@MackLamoureux) October

Been busy all day and didn’t have time to write a proper article, however these folks provide a clear overview of the latest in the United Conservative Party’s SoO problem: These quotes from UCP West Henday nomination candidate Lance Coulter directly contradict Jason Kenney’s flimsy excuse that no one knew
