Some media companies have been denied status by Ottawa as a so-called Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization, eligible to claim payroll tax credits from Ottawa’s $595 million news media bailout. They will also thus likely be unable to receive payments from Google’s promised $100 million annual contribution to Canadian media under the Online News Act.

The far right is a transnational movement that seeks to destroy liberal democracy by spreading disinformation on social media, smearing democratic leaders, and causing chaos.

For years now, Canada’s Conservatives have played footsie with an increasingly radicalized right-wing populist movement. The sooner their relationship with them is brought into the light, the better it will be for everyone else.

In a popular video showing left-wing pundit Sam Seder debating 20 Trump supporters, one of his opponents asserted it would be better for the US to be based on white Christian values.

For months, Diagolon has promised a new, more selective, members-only organization called Second Sons Canada. A group of them were spotted in Halifax over the weekend.

Gavin McInnes, the founder of "Western Chauvinist" group Proud Boys, is joining far-right Canadian website and network The Rebel Media, the outlet told Mediaite Tuesday.

The dirty trickster started his initiation last year. Now the ‘Western chauvinist’ group has his back against Mueller and the media.

Sky News might have sacked former Labor leader Mark Latham in March, but he still appears online thanks to a Canadian online media venture that has been at the centre of controversy involving the so-called "alt-right."

The far right is back with a vengeance. After several decades at the political margins, far-right politics has again taken center stage. Three of the world’s largest democracies – Brazil, India, and the United States – now have a radical right leader, while far-right parties continue to increase their profile and support within Europe. In this timely book, leading global expert on political extremism Cas Mudde provides a concise overview of the fourth wave of postwar far-right politics, exploring its history, ideology, organization, causes, and consequences, as well as the responses available to civil society, party, and state actors to challenge its ideas and influence. What defines this current far-right renaissance, Mudde argues, is its mainstreaming and normalization within the contemporary political landscape. Challenging orthodox thinking on the relationship between conventional and far-right politics, Mudde offers a complex and insightful picture of one of the key political challenges of our time.

This book comprehensively examines right-wing extremism (RWE) in Canada, discussing the lengthy history of violence and distribution, ideological bases, actions, organizational capacity and connectivity of these extremist groups. It explores the current landscape, the factors that give rise to and minimise these extremist groups, strategies for countering these groups, and the emergence of the ‘Alt-Right’. It draws on interviews with law enforcement officials, community activists, and current and former right-wing activists to inform and offer practical advice, paired with analyses of open source intelligence on the state of the RWE movement in Canada. The historical and contemporary contours of right-wing extremism in Canada are situated within the social, political, and cultural landscape that has shaped the movement. It will be of particular interest to students and researchers of criminology, sociology, social justice, terrorism and political violence.
