5/ Gym culture can breed right-wing extremism if given the space to do so & I'm glad that more journalists are covering Active Clubs & Second Sons. People in the Lower Mainland also need to be aware of fascist group activities in nature's gyms: the great outdoors.

4/ This is just fascist propaganda.
As a powerlifter, I am thoroughly embarrassed by that bench attempt. You can learn to lift without diving head-first into neo-Nazi ideology.

3/ Third Born is led by neo-Nazi & mega Diagolon fan Nigel McDougall. Here is McDougall at Diagolon's 2024 event in Langley (far right of the photo, fittingly). He also does cool things like promote Hitler's speeches.

1/ CBC & @antihate.ca released some excellent reporting on a neo-Nazi gathering in Vancouver on July 26. This thread covers more local context & organizing.
To start, here is one very interesting Facebook friendship between Exiles of the Golden Age's Lane Pommer & MP Aaron Gunn.

Ostrich supporters are still making death threats against employees of Super Save (and anyone else they believe to be involved in the cull).

The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear Universal Ostrich Farms' case, which means the cull is no longer stayed.

The Universal Ostrich Farms saga could be coming to an end--the Supreme Court of Canada is currently scheduled to decide if they will take the case or not on Nov 6.

The white supremacy coming out of One BC is a real problem & I expect the NDP to push back. Instead, they employ language like "real people" to describe one side of a legal dispute, profoundly dehumanizing Indigenous people & Indigenous rights.

Jim McMurty, a far-right "activist" & newest member of OneBC, shared a fake letter meant to drive fear & uncertainty around land title in the City of North Vancouver.
The Tl’uqtinus decision is emboldening hysterical racism. Loud anti-Indigenous voices live in North Van. It's so embarrassing.

2/ CSASPP, headed by Kip Warner, was an early attempt to use the courts of legitimize anti-vax pseudoscience & attempted a veneer of professionalism within what became the Freedom Convoy movement.
