Extensive report on the "uniquely Canadian" white nationalist Diagolon network and its newer, elite organization Second Sons of Canada.
===
Beginning as a collective of like-minded far-right podcasters and content creators, the fandom around these figures has grown into a community driven by conspiracy theory, with participants across the country. Identified as ideologically motivated violent extremists by Canadian law enforcement and intelligence agencies, Diagolon is one of the largest and most active white nationalist networks in Canada.
Unlike more traditional models of far-right organizations, there is no formal method of joining Diagolon—no official membership or vetting process. This means that the audience for Diagolon’s content is diverse among age and geography. Not every Diagolon supporter espouses racism, antisemitism or calls for violence against immigrants. However, the recent content from many members of the community has become so bellicose in its racism and ultra-
nationalism that to consume Diagolon material is to undeniably consume militant white nationalist material.
“War is coming, act accordingly,” MacKenzie wrote on the application Telegram.

A close look at a Canadian neo-Nazi, highlighting the international network he's a connected to.
From the article:
Vriend made a name for himself within Diagolon creating memes, viral fake headlines, and eventually hosting an after-show to Diagolon concept creator Jeremy MacKenzie. When moving across the country, Vriend chose to sell most of his personal belongings and drive, during which he met and connected with various local pockets of the community.
Holocaust denial, racist statements about Arab and Muslim people, an inevitable violent uprising, and conspiracy theories around Jewish plots of global control have been typical within Diagolon for years. The more recent shift towards outright white supremacy has seen Vriend making appearances as a guest on other programs linked to international neo-Nazi organizations.

Whether asking an Australian National Socialist how to better run his local Active Club or appearing on the official podcast of the Nordic Resistance Movement, Alex Vriend is connecting with the international far-right.
