🧵 Another @JustinTrudeau campaign stop was disrupted today. PPC supporters (and at least one candidate) showed up at an event in London, including two known faces – Shane Marshall and Tyler Russell.
7/ In the CF chats it's not rare to see chat members allude to -- or explicitly state -- their fascist leanings. Fascists like Hitler, Mussolini and Oswald Mosley, as well as mass murderers like Dylann Roof and Anders Breivik are hailed as figures of reverence by chat members.
8/ Children as young as 14 were found to be active on the Canada First Discord. In a series of messages to the chat, Russell explains that his inclusion of underage members in the group is no accident, but rather a strategic choice, as they provide “good optics” for the movement.
9/ He hasn't always supported the PPC.
Per Russell, Bernier is “incapable of running a party, let alone a Twitter account."
After the prime minister became the target of a fistful of gravel while leaving a campaign stop, videos have emerged showing known white nationalists in the crowd -- including one working with a local PPC candidate, who we exposed just days prior. antihate.ca/white_national…
Footage from the event shows Shane Marshall & Tyler Russell approaching the event together. Marshall, who often attends anti-lockdown events in a ski mask, is easy to spot as he sports a dark camouflage version of Canada’s Red Ensign flag tied to a hockey stick.
After VICE obtained the name Patrick Macdonald as the identity behind the elusive neo-Nazi graphic designer Dark Foreigner, CAHN found his socials, business, family and friends. This led us to the only face image we have of Macdonald (see next tweet). /1 vice.com/en/article/93y…
This photo, on his brothers Instagram, is the only full face picture we currently have of Patrick Gordon MacDonald, from 2015. /2
As Dark Foreigner, Macdonald created the visual language of the modern day Nazi terrorist movement. Like Zeiger, he has blood on his hands. If you have any more information on Patrick Gordon Macdonald, send us an email at info@antihate.ca /3
1/ EXPOSED: We spent months inside a fledgling white supremacist mvmt that’s recruiting kids to infiltrate politics & build an ethnostate. Canada First is trying to copy the USA Groyper / America First mvmt. Now it’s time to name them for what they are. antihate.ca/canada_first_e…
2/ Despite Tyler L. Russell’s amateur & often lazy (he plays a lot of NHL '21) attempts to build a white supremacist mvmt, his aim (one shared by the chatroom) is a Canada where “there aren’t any fa**ots, low crime, no minorities.” That would require deportations & genocide.
3/ Members of the chat fantasize about executing their critics, calling them “future wall facers.” Russell says they’ll do “WHATEVER it takes to win.” Children as young at 14 are in the server.
PREVIEW: Tomorrow we're exposing the fledgling white supremacist "Canada First" movement and the young men who use the chatroom to "build an army of nameless, faceless members” to infiltrate government and gain political power. 1/
CW: In the Canada First Discord server, slurs are used without a second thought. When the bodies of 215 Indigenous children were found in a mass grave in Kamloops, chat members dismissed the findings as simply a “few dead chug kids.” 2/
They brag about their OPSEC and vetting, but it's not that good. Tomorrow, we're naming names. 3/
1/ The "End the Lockdown Caucus" was created by the Christian nationalist group Liberty Coalition Canada, whose founder calls multiculturalism a “suicidal experiment...leaving us with citizens who engage in terror.”
2/ Christian nationalism is the belief that Canada was founded on Christian values, which are superior, and that our laws and government should operate on their basis. Most Christians are not Christian nationalists. It is *political.*
3/ LCC’s Rev. Boot is the author of The Niagara Declaration which espouses Christian nationalist ideals.
It focuses on the "Christian Dominion" & the "Supremacy of God" over Canada" & asserts "it is only in Christianized nations that religious freedom has ever flourished."
