11/ Paul Waggener (Wolves of Vinland & Operation Werewolf) has been crashing out for several days over this investigation.

He's covering his Schwarze Sonne tattoo in this video.

8/ Active Clubs, Second Sons & derivatives are in local gyms & parks. They use spaces to promote hateful & violent rhetoric. The movement has grown in the Lower Mainland particularly over the past two years & it won't just go away until people push back. bsky.app/profile/wind...

7/ Third Born & Seconds Sons also gather somewhat regularly around Fort Langley & Derby Reach Regional Park in @langleytownship.bsky.social.

6/ In September, Third Born, Second Sons & their allies took a field trip to Cypress Provincial Park in @westvandistrict.bsky.social.

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.

2/ Next, some spaces used by Third Born (a Fraser Valley-based Active Club), Second Sons & their allies. They've held multiple training sessions & meetups at Box2Fit's Langley location, owned by Frankie LaSasso. (Photo from Box2Fit's IG on the left, fashy meetup on the right.)

They still believe it was some sort of magical ostrich sanctuary and not a livestock operation. They also begged, without a hint of irony, for turkeys they could roast for the farm's Thanksgiving dinner.

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

The source of this appears to be a Facebook Live posted by Katie Pasitney. Ostrich followers claim to be hanging around West Coast Reduction property looking for evidence.

In the arrrrrrrrrms of the angels

Seems both Sturko and Colleen Hardwick are very bad at critically evaluating why an event marketed to convoyers held in a basement called Freedom House and organized by a guy screaming FUCK TRUDEAU every Saturday afternoon might be a bit sus.

Remember when Sturko wanted the SPCA to sweep out homeless people camping on Granville and then got really weird when others pointed out that comparing human beings to stray dogs was a bit fucked up?
