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

Anti-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;

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

Last month we saw Faith Goldy and roughly 40 alt-right (including ID Canada) supporters hold a protest opposing Canada signing the UN Migration Compact. Today in Ottawa was another anti-migrant rally which also features a whose who of racist and Islamophobic groups including La Meute, Storm Alliance, III% militia, Northern

The fallout from Le Troupeau‘s expose of Diane Blain and her association with the Storm Alliance and Front Patriotique du Québec continues to reverberate in Canadian political news. To recap, Blain and other members of a the far right Front Patriotique du Québec managed to get into a Liberal Party event. Ms.

Justin Trudeau has had to deal with all kinds of crazed hecklers as he travels across the country.There's one being removed from a town hall in Quebec City last January, with a Canadian flag defaced by a swastika.But the way he dealt with an aggressive heckler from the far-right group

Back in January when Justin Trudeau was participating in a number of town halls across the country, he was also being heckled by some of the folks ARC has covered on the blog. One of those groups was the Storm Alliance, a group created by the former president of the

I was actually out for much of the day and didn’t have much of an opportunity to follow the events in Ottawa. I had surmised that it would likely be about the same size of the Million Canadian March organized for Parliament Hill the previous summer, perhaps in the range

Quebec correspondent here. It’s been a while. Are you ready for a roundup of what’s been happening here in 2018? Here we go: When we last spoke, Dave Treg (formerly of Soldiers of Odin Québec and Storm Alliance) had quit activism (now he calls himself JUG for ‘Juste un Gars’

Those of us who followed the failed La Meute march this past Sunday expected that they would attempt to spin it as some sort of success despite what was obvious to all involved: Ouin Sébastien Chabot de la Meute (qui va sûrement commenter ci-dessous avec son compte @TrutHurtU) va avoir

I spent part of Sunday watching Ronny Cameron’s live feed of the protest by a collection of racists and xenophobes in Quebec near the Lacolle border crossing that was organized by Faith Goldy: Long story short, with references to the “14 words,” “1488,” the “JQ,” and referring to First Nations’ peoples

Assault, forcible confinement, and likely theft. While the Sûreté du Québec was busy protecting the far-right Islamophobic, racist, anti-immigrant groups who arrived at the Lacolle border (Storm Alliance, some La Meute members, III% militia, and others), they failed to monitor the potential dangers those groups posed to others which allowed this

There are a number of people who are covering this event. I’ll see what I can do to provide up-to-date information: Donc apparement le groupe d’extrême droite Storm Alliance a décidé d’aller au @IGAQC, 60 route 202 près de Lacolle, pour stationner leurs voitures. Qu’est-ce que pense @IGAQC d’être le

I've never made it a secret that ARC's Quebec intel has historically been awful. Thankfully ARC has been able to bolster this deficiency to a degree through the invaluable assistance of a number of Quebec activists over the past year. However when journalists asked for assistance in determining the real

Less than 24 hours removed from Doug Ford becoming Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader and the folks this blog covers are feeling pretty good about themselves, including one Ronny Cameron: Despite Cameron being banned on his own Facebook page for a month, he had been able to access the Facebook group

This is a long one. Grab a cup of coffee. When the federal budget was introduced last week, there was a section that wasn't highlighted but which is rather significant. It turns out that the Liberal government plans on sharing tax information with police in more than 30 countries, ostensibly

Put on your irony seat belt folks. When I wrote the article detailing the reaction to the George Stanley acquittal, I used the Facebook group, "Canadians Against the NDP and Liberals (Information & Facts)" as a representative sample of views from the far right in Canada. Since then I have been

ARC has learned a bit more about Ryan Dean's conviction for assaulting his former partner as well as the allegations concerning another assault against a woman. Sentencing in the first case is scheduled for April 16, though he is waiting to have a pre-sentence report. ARC also learned that Dean

The head of the English-Canada chapter of the CDN Wolfpack (better known as La Meute, a hate group which has seen better days) Bryan Trottier follows ARC on Twitter. He's also wants to make it clear that he is absolutely NOT a bad guy: Except…. you know…. for his racist

Just a few quick updates. First we learned a few days ago that Ryan Dean had evidently been arrested on outstanding warrants in Edmonton: ARC readers will be familiar with Dean as an active participant in a number of anti-Muslims/anti-refugee/anti-immigrant rallies that took place during the spring and summer of
