We certainly weren't the first to report that Brandon Vaughan, a member of the Proud Boys, had been indicted for assaulting a Palestinian-American last spring in Washington D.C., but he was on our radar first for his participation in a number of Islamophobic protests, including one in Calgary organized by

Anti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: May 2018 Bits and Bites: Goudreau, Proud Boys, WCAI, Myatt, Cameron, and Faith Goldy
May is not yet over but it has been busy. As such I decided to combine some of the smaller stories I had been collecting and compile them into one large article. It is long but, believe it or not, I haven't included everything. Before I start, this afternoon members
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Quebec III% Militia Record What Appears To Be Serious Crimes
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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Case Study: A Look At Steven Myatt’s Supporters
It appears that the article posted on Sunday showing the federal Conservative leader chatting with Steven Myatt (member of the white nationalist and increasingly antisemitic Northern Guard) while at the UCP's first AGM has garnered some significant interest if the ol' Twitter machine can be believed. One individual did make

On April 23, 2018, a van swerved onto the sidewalk in Toronto in what appears to have been an intentional act. When the carnage was over, 10 people were dead and more than a dozen injured. The people killed and injured were men and women, young people and old, people
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Calgary and Vancouver Island Northern Guard Members’ Ties To Racists and Antisemites
Looking through the photos taken of the anti-Muslim "Christian freedom" protest at Calgary City Hall from last Saturday, I couldn't help noticing some familiar patches on some of the participants. For example, this one comes from fundamentalist nutbar Larry Heather's Twitter account: Yep, those would be Northern Guard members. Truth
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Calgary Soldier of Odin Leader Posts Antisemitic Memes and Linked to Overt Racists
It's interesting what one finds when one turns over a few stone. Now it isn't entirely surprising that members of the Calgary Soldiers of Odin would be present. Though the hate group no longer exists as a national organization, there are still remnants in some cities in the country including
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: April 14, 2018 Calgary Counter-Protest At City Hall a Success
This was the day that Artur Pawlowski and his Street Church members as well as folks like Steven “Four Names” Myatt, Sandra Solomon, members of the Canadian Combat Coalition, Joey Deluca and Worldwide Coalition Against Islam members, Soldiers of Odin, Alberta Northern Guard members, Kevin Johnston, Bill Whatcott, Larry Heather, apparently
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Racists, Homophobes, Misogynists, Islamophobes, and Sleep Rob Anders Heading To Calgary April 13 – 15
A who’s who of racists, homophobes, and Islamophobes will be in Calgary this Friday through Sunday to participate in an event organized by the Calgary Street Church, a group with ties to the World Wide Coalition Against Islam, III% militia, and Soldiers of Odin; at least two of the Street
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Dan Dubois of Canadian Combat Coalition (An Objectively Stupid Name) Unloads on "White Nationalist" Ronny Cameron
Last Saturday ARC published an article featuring Ronny Cameron chatting it up with convicted domestic abuse jackass Ryan Dean and the antisemitic vice-president of the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam (which isn't so much worldwide as it is in Joey Deluca's apartment) Jesse Wielenga (see here, here, here, here, and here).
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: "White Nationalist" Ronny Cameron Continues to Alienate Former Supporters and Sow Dissent
Not that that is a BAD thing, mind you…. So how did it come to this? We could go back months but let's just look back this past week. On March 20, Ronny Cameron posted a video complaining that individualism was actually a threat that would result in the destruction
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: More Infighting: Kevin Goudreau and Bryan Trottier
Sometimes it is fun just to watch as a show plays itself out. ARC has written extensively about neo-Nazi Kevin "No Show" Goudreau for years, probably far more that someone of his relative insignificance deserves. Lately though he has rebranded himself as a "patriot" in order to garner more support
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Canadians React to (Yet Another) Mass Shooting in the United States
While the bodies are still warm from the latest mass U.S. school shooting, at least no one has the lack of taste or class to publicly defend gun rights, oh, wait, … pic.twitter.com/19WLJ5AnBX — CC (@canad1ancynic) February 17, 2018 This past Wednesday there was another mass shooting in the US,
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Yet MORE Far-Right "Patriot" Infighting: Sandra Solomon, Ryan Dean, and Sons of Odin
It has been a while since ARC has spoken about Sandra Solomon, or whatever name she's going with now on her multiple Facebook profiles. She was at an event in Ottawa on Parliament Hill this past week and will likely be at the anti-Muslim rally on Sunday tomorrow. She is

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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Jeff Sharpe Is "Focused" on ARC; ARC Collective Yawns
So looks like there's some tension within the Northern Guard. Accusations of backstabbing, egos, and at least on member of the leadership stepping down today. More on that in a future article as we get more details. It really has been some time since ARC has even mentioned Jeff Sharpe,

I think it is correct to acknowledge that humanity is a complicated lot rife with contradictions. We all have our blind spots where we have difficulty seeing that our words are not always reflected in our actions or behaviors. Many of us occasionally subscribe to the maxim, "do as I
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Ryan Dean Arrested and David Tregget Resigns From Storm Alliance
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
Continue readingAnti-Racist Canada: The ARC Collective: Toronto "White Nationalist" Ronny Cameron Approves of Donald Trump’s "Shithole Countries" Comment
ARC has been publishing a series of posts regarding Ronny Cameron's attacks on other figures on the right (here and here). In the screen shots that were provided Cameron made comments regarding "white nationalists" that would turn out to be especially interesting if not at all surprising: Of course he
