Oh what fine timing.

in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Active clubs are groups of white nationalist extremists who gather in person to work out and practice smacking each other around — all in the name of preparing for impending violence.

The rise of active clubs in Canada is no joke, warned Simons.

“In Canada, three men associated with (active clubs) have been charged with terrorism offences: one was found guilty and is serving 10 years in prison, one pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing and the third is awaiting trial. Outside Canada, active club members have been responsible for violence in several countries,” Simons explained. (These examples of criminal charges and violence do not involve Frontenac Active Club or its members.)

Originating in the United States in 2008, the alt-right has rebranded far-right extremism into a more palatable form. In Canada, this movement is marked by a blend of anti-immigration, anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish, anti-multicultural, anti-feminist, and anti-government sentiments.

Its core narrative is that white identity and Western culture are under attack from multicultural forces. The Canadian alt-right can be broken down into several sub-groups:

• White Supremacists
• Manosphere/Masculinism Groups: Online communities that promote antifeminist views and sometimes justify gender-based violence.
• Ethnonationalists: Those who claim that shared ancestry is the foundation of national identity and that governments should protect a dominant culture.
• Anti-Muslim and Anti-Jewish Factions
• Sovereigntist & Militia Groups: Sovereigntists reject court and state authority. They can sometimes mobilize as militia.

These groups frequently employ patriotic rhetoric that resonates with certain conservative political narratives, leveraging grievances over economic insecurity and public safety.

Hate, unfortunately, has a home in Canada. Over the course of the last several years there has been a surge in hate crimes, many of which target the Muslim Community.

In January of 2017, six individuals —Ibrahima Barry (39 years old), Mamadou Tanou Barry (42 years old), Khaled Belkacemi (60 years old), Aboubaker Thabti (44 years old), AbdelKrim Hassane (41 years old), and Azzedine Soufiane (57 years old)— were shot and killed, and 19 others wounded in an attack on a mosque by Alexandre Bissonnette in Quebec City.

In September of 2020 International Muslim Organization Mosque caretaker Mohamed Aslam Zafis (58 years old) had his throat slit outside of the Rexdale area mosque in Ontario.

Then in June of 2021 the Afzaal family in London, Ontario, was struck by a pickup truck while taking a leisurely walk. Salman, (46 years old), Talat, (74 years old), Madiha (44 years old), and Yumna (15 years old) were all killed. Fayez (9 years old) survived the attack, having lost his father, mother, sister, and grandmother.
