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

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: GUEST ARTICLE: Far-Right Fail to Bait Anti-Racist Protesters in Rural Alberta
After more than 12 years, in January 2020, the founder of the ARC blog, Kurt Phillips, stepped away, passing the blog to new writers. Since then, he has contributed the the Canadian Anti-Hate Network as both a writer and a board member. This is Kurt’s first guest article. You can

This may be considered to be a non-canon sequel to, “Cameron vs. Van Hamme: Battle of the Douchebags” as Ronny only makes a single cameo appearance. If there is one think that has become apparent since I first began this blog in 2007 it is that the people we monitor

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

Our research into Canadian members of Iron March based on the leaked forum information is ongoing. Suffice it to say we’ve been finding some especially interesting individuals who will be profiled here on the blog in time. However November has been an especially eventful month so I thought I’d do

On Saturday long time hockey commentator Don Cherry went on a racist rant during his Coaches Corner segment on Hockey night in Canada: You people … that come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a

Back on October 27 I wrote an article in which I discussed Steven Myatt’s apparent ghosting of a person he owes money to after his relocation to Alberta. He had also raised thousands of dollars from “patriots” for his effort to hire a lawyer to sue Justin Trudeau and have
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Far-Right Reactionaries Are Behind the WEXIT Campaign
With the election mercifully behind us and many on the far-right disappointed with the outcome, much is being reported on the so-called “Wexit” from Canada (why yes, it IS derivative.) While this separatist movement has been around a long time, Prairie Freedom Movement (PFM), a Wexit precursor, has been around
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

Given the election date is fast approaching I thought I’d do a little bit of a deep dive into the federal Conservative Party: Not surprised he stands by those people. @AndrewScheer is unfit #elxn43 #cdnpoli https://t.co/ykkShF5hqf pic.twitter.com/O0d8ZsgTZk — Tanner (@tanneralford1) September 15, 2019 ARC has spent a great deal of

Garvey has been a figure we have been following since his time harassing students at a Red Deer high school along with members of the hate group World Wide Coalition Against Islam (thought they later had a falling out). He is also the leader of a far-right fringe political party

In 1947, a short film was produced by the American War Department warning Americans to be wary of racist demagogues and the dangers they pose to democratic institution: The film was produced in response to horrors of a global war still fresh in the memories of the American public in

In light of PEGIDA Canada’s Jenny Hill’s failed attempt to crowdfund for her $11,000 judgment, we thought it prudent to bring to the public’s attention another PEGIDA related GoFundMe that deserves similar attention and action. Yellow Vests Canada members, PEGIDA supporters, general hatemongers, and self-professed “Domestic War Reporters” Rick Boswick and Derek

Sooooo, remember when these people claimed to be opposed to Islamic extremism, but not Muslims? No one believed that then nor does anyone believe it now: Here’s Andre Ch (Cdn Nationalist Party) Derek Storie/Rick Boswick (Yellow Vest), and members of Wolves of Odin, Proud Boys, and other Cdn Nationalist Party

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the "apex" of far-right "patriot" journalism in Canada: Yep, this is a clip of a drunken Rick Boswick, Derek Storie, and Corey/Kory…. Something-or-Other (I genuinely can't be bothered to look up his last name) defaming a journalist who has already been assaulted by the

On March 30, the second day of what Joey Deluca claimed would be a 72 hour “patriot rally” in Edmonton occurred. Much like the previous day, the hate groups which included the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam (WCAI), Canadian Combat Coalition (CCC), Northern Guard, Soldiers of Odin (SoO), and a smattering

I’ve worked at the same job for close to 20 years and I really do love it. However there are drawbacks. On the one hand, my employment allows me to pay my mortgage. To buy a new car when the old one’s motor explodes in the middle of rural Manitoba.

In October 2018, the United Conservative Party held a meet and greet at a pub in Edmonton. Among those who showed up for the event was the leader of an Alberta separatist party, the misogynistic head of Onward Christian Soldier, at least one member of the Clann (founded by Ryan

Much like Vancouver and Toronto, it looked like the most recent Worldwide Coalition Against Islam (WCAI) event in Edmonton would yet again fail to feature anyone actually associated with the WCAI. Certainly some of the Canadian Combat Coalition members back in Ontario appeared to be rather frustrated by yet another
