Jason Kenney, leader of the UCP in Alberta is continuing to engage in damage control as questions continue to be raised about why the party has attracted so many far-right extremists. He has continued to suggest that the attendance of the SoO at the event was orchestrated by a fringe

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Guest Article: Faith Goldy — Anti-Semite or Pro-Israel? Why not both?
By now it seems hard to deny that Faith Goldy is an anti-Semite: Her calling Jews “Democrat mega-donors.” Her referring to Richard Spencer’s Charlottesville statement, which calls for the exclusion of Jews from ethnic European society, as containing “well thought-out ideas.” Her friendly appearance on the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer “Krypto

There have been a number of stories in the news regarding candidates for the United Conservative Party of Alberta being caught echoing far-right talking points; some of those candidates were disqualified by the party but others remain. It seems that is a feature, and not a bug, of the new

Conrad Peach, the Vancouver Island chapter leader of the Soldiers of Odin, was first discussed in some detail on the blog regarding the SoO's efforts to intimidate homeless people living in a tent city in Nanaimo, BC and subsequent threats to force the residents violently: Well now Peach has taken

One of the claims that the far-right groups make to deny their bigotry is the presence of the odd person of color in their ranks. For example in Washington State, Tusitala “Tiny” Toese acts as an enforcer for the far-right and neo-fascist Patriot Prayer group and is a member of the

Two far-right demonstrations in Toronto this weekend. PEGIDA on Saturday and the Canadian Combat Coalition on Sunday.

I didn’t post much about it since I didn’t want to give them any oxygen, but right now PEGIDA Canada is holding a rally in Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square, ostensibly to memorialize the 2001 9/11 tragedy…. on 9/8 I guess. In reality, it is a cynical ploy to exploit the

Today was the day the Soldiers of Odin, the Northern Guard, and what I have to regard as a far-right Christian militia Onward Christian Soldier planned on showing up in front of the Mustard Seed church in Edmonton to co-opt their good name and to pretend to be charitable. No

A couple of weeks ago ARC learned that the Soldiers of Odin in Edmonton planned on holding an event near the Mustard Seed in the city on Labour Day, ostensibly to feed the homeless: Far-right anti-immigrant group the Soldiers of Odin say they will be handing out food and water

Though they had threatened to remove the homeless camp in Nanaimo by force, it appears at this point that the Soldiers of Odin have not made good on their threat. Instead upwards of 1000 people arrived to show support for the people living in the tent city: Hundreds of people

I suspect that all of this is in part a fallout from the failed WCAI rally in Toronto last Saturday. If there is any consolation for members of the Canadian far-right, they aren't the only ones having a lousy time: Exclusive: Leaks show how Boston ‘free speech’ group acts as

So, do you all remember when the Soldiers of Odin tried to intimidate homeless people in Nanaimo but were outnumbered significantly by people opposing them? At the time, the SoO claimed that they were merely providing "security" and that their intentions were not violent or confrontational. Today they decided to

According to Joey Deluca of the WCAI during an interview with angry raccoons trapped in burlap sack Duke Willis, the racist rally he had been planning for tomorrow will proceed…. without him. He genuinely looked like he was going to cry when he said this so I added a bit

This article is going to be rather screen shot heavy. I think it's worth it though. Hey there readers. You remember when Joey Deluca of the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam posted this article on their then website (which appears to have been deep-sixed) about their planned march in Toronto on

As August 11, the day of the planned Worldwide Coalition Against Islam event in Toronto, approaches, Ward 27 Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam issued the following statement regarding the hate rally on Twitter: My statement on the Anti-Islam Event at @npstoronto on Aug 11. No permit has been issued for this hateful rally

Yesterday the Soldiers of Odin acted as “security” in an effort to intimidate homeless people living in Discontent City in Nanaimo: Please be careful #Nanaimo friends. The Soldiers of Odin is a Neo-Nazi group. This isn’t about the issue they’re saying it is about, not fully, this is a recruitment.

The date of the planned Worldwide Coalition Against Islam rally is certainly not a coincidence as it coincides with the one year anniversary of the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally. The event was initially made infamous by the scene of white supremacists walking through the streets of the city chanting

It looks like Joey Deluca and some other members of the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam (WCAI) are indeed planning on leaving the warm comforts of their Calgary home and traveling to the big, bad, city of Toronto the Good to hold a rally in Nathan Phillips Square on August 11.

It has been a little over a week since the horrible tragedy in Toronto's Danforth area occurred that resulted in the murder of a young woman and a child with more than a dozen injured. Right now this is what is known: 1. Because I love you, I spent the morning

First, the most important part of this horrible tragedy is that two people, 10 year old Julianna Kozis and 18 year old Reese Fallon, were murdered and their names are the ones that should be remembered, not that of the murderer. As such I will as much as possible try to
