And we are a tiny team working triple overtime. We need to hire another investigator/reporter. You want eyes on this stuff? Help us out at antihate.ca/donate. If we had the resources to be more on the ball before the convoy arrived, things might not have gone so bad.

1/ NEW: Freedom Convoy Organizer Identifies Herself as a “White Nationalist” in Conference Call With Neo-Nazis

Trinity Productions’ Bethan Nodwell denied the Holocaust and claimed that “white identitarianism is inevitable.” 🧵

2/ On the call, which hosted numerous neo-Nazis, Nodwell self-identified as a white nationalist, and told Diagolon streamer Alex Vriend that she would ask popular Dutch far-right media figure @EvaVlaar to start “naming the Jew.”
3/ Nodwell is one of 3 directors of Trinity Productions, which hosted multiple speaking tours for Christine Anderson, a Member of the European Parliament for far-right Alternative für Deutschland, and Eva Vlaardingerbroek.

In 2022, Nodwell volunteered with the Freedom Convoy.

Several people have contacted us very alarmed abt reports coming out of the US that white supremacists are planning a “Day of Hate” targeting the Jewish community, & asking if anything similar is being planned here. We empathize w/these fears, & want to share some perspective. 🧵
2/ First, we want to extend our solidarity to the Jewish community & all those who are frightened & enraged by these reports. In the context of rising antisemitism & other forms of hate, it makes sense that something like this would be disturbing to those who are targeted.
3/ As of right now, we have seen no indications that any of the Canadian neo-Nazi groups and inviduals we monitor are going to take any action on this alleged “Day of Hate.” Nothing is being promoted or organized, from what we can see.

Ben Mockler (AKA Ben Burke) has spent years building a following in the world of international fascism. Now he’s recruiting in Canada’s capital for the world’s largest white power gang and owns a gym on Rideau St. #Ottawa

As “Aquilla the Eagle,” Mockler has been an organizer for the Ottawa Active Club since its inception. Our previous investigation found the decentralized Active Club movement is lead in Canada by the Vinland Hammerskins, a violent white power gang.

The Active Club movement is international - it’s a brand - and it’s used to bring together neo-Nazis and train young men for violence. There are several chapters in Canada, including in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and the Maritimes.

1/ Make it your new year’s resolution to go and demonstrate for social justice and against far right bullies. Here’s 5 ways to start. 🧵

2/ Create a solidarity group.

Get together with some friends and go to demonstrations. Working as a group keeps you safe, and helps you meet other community-defence minded people. Keep each other in the loop for actions.
3/ Drag and queer event defence.

They're coming for drag events, trans and 2SLGBTQ+ people more than any other community right now. Go show your support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community by forming protective barriers for the patrons and the performers.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is proudly antifascist, and that means we have critics. In 2019, Jon and Barbara Kay shared an article which says that we fund violence. This is a lie. One of our board members sued them as an individual because he was named in the article.
The Kays tried their hardest to connect us with violence, and failed. They tried to make it sound sinister that we’re fans of the International Antifascist Defence fund, which covers emergency, medical, and legal bills for antifascists. That was the best they could come up with.
Today we learned that our board member lost their lawsuit against the Kays on a technicality. The judge found that he wasn’t the party they attacked. We were. It was frustrating sitting on the sidelines watching the Kays, in our opinion, mislead the court about antifascism.

Today, Jeremy MacKenzie accused us of purposely engaging in misinformation at #POEC . So let’s set the record straight, again, about the antisemitic flyer incident. A statement /🧵
During the occupation, Bernie Farber got an email from a friend, who’s a lawyer, that said their adult kid had seen antisemitic flyers and signs at the occupation. He tweeted one of the photos from the email from his personal account.
The photo didn’t originate in Ottawa, but in Miami. CAHN noticed the tweet, recognized the photo, and asked Bernie to explain. He forwarded us the email he received. Here’s what it said:
