The Canadian Antihate Network (CAHN) and the CBC have identified over 190 Canadians who were on the now-defunct white supremacist dating site WhiteDate.net. Among them are a number of members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), including Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who apparently left a trail of thousands of posts in far-right forums between 2019-2024. The CAF is now investigating him.

Armstrong's online posts championed Nazi Germany and Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, really off-the-charts views about Black people, women, and LGBTQ folks.

Another is Ottawa-based naval reservist Brogan Hale ("blueeyedsailor" on WhiteDate.net), who has expressed eliminationist ideas in order to "keep Canada white".

And a third is Brandon Longpré, a self-identified corporal in the Governor General's Foot Guards in Ottawa. Longpré isn't quoted in either of these articles, but having observed WhiteDate closely while it was still up and running, I can tell you that it's pretty inconceivable that anyone could have had an account on there without knowing that it was a forum for people on the white nationalist/neo-nazi spectrum.

The CBC article also identifies the WhiteDate accounts of two already well known Canadian nazis: Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald of the Frontenac Active Club/Second Sons Canada and Exiles of the Golden Age organizer Lane Pommer.

If anyone would like to see the exported WhiteDate files, they're at okstupid.lol.
