March 30, 2019 Racist Rally in Edmonton Part II: Counter-Protester Assaulted and Soldier of Odin Member Taken Into Custody

Much like Vancouver and Toronto, it looked like the most recent Worldwide Coalition Against Islam (WCAI) event in Edmonton would yet again fail to feature anyone actually associated with the WCAI. Certainly some of the Canadian Combat Coalition members back in Ontario appeared to be rather frustrated by yet another no-show:


However while ARC initially reported that the racist rally organized by Joey Deluca of the WCAI with participation of groups such as the Soldiers of Odin, Northern Guard, and Canadian Combat Coalition failed to launch, it turns out that they were waiting until they thought there wouldn't be anyone there to spoil their fun:


Ah, there's the casual racism and threats of violence that we've come to expect from Joey. 

Later in the video, cut off because Dubois' batter died, Deluca continued his racist anti-immigrant missive referring to immigrants from developing countries as "sewage" and further dehumanizing rhetoric:


Now this sort of turns out to be rather awkward considering Deluca's association with the reactionary Yellow Vest movement in Canada and their claims to being opposed to racism and in favor of legal immigration:


Readers will also remember this video published by ARC on March 16:


ARC has written extensively about Jeff Sharpe in the past. According to our friends in Edmonton, he is currently involved in a power struggle to control the Yellow Vests in Edmonton:


He was also involved in promoting the Yellow Vest event that was swamped by counter-protesters earlier today:

Well isn't it funny that Jeff Sharpe who claims that racism isn't a part of the Yellow Vest protests is present with racist Joey Deluca and the WCAI as well as the Soldiers of Odin, CCC, and Northern Guard:


International bankers eh?

Dude, aren't you even going to bother trying not to sound antisemitic?

Now, the racists, antisemites, and Islamophobes did discuss the earlier counter-rally and though they attempt to make fun of them with the tired, "mom's basement" and "they had to take mass transit" (which is something many of their supporters likely rely on in major cities so not much of an insult) it is clear they were rattled:


The remainder of the video was devoted to highlighting some of the people who attended including Win Nay, misogynist Adam Stevenson of Onward Christian Soldiers, and a few Northern Guard and Nouns of Odin, one of whom was very proud that his SoO chapter was "Finland approved" which again might be a bit problematic considering the Finnish parent club was started by an overt neo-Nazi:



With knowledge that the bigots would be returning to the legislature, anti-fascists in the city oraganized on pretty short notice and managed to counter the boneheads in numbers that were at first smaller but looked to be growing as more became aware of what was happening:




In the end it was more of a cameo as they spent between 15 minutes and half an hour at the legislature and left before their numbers could again be swamped by counter-protesters:


I'm sure that they will.

Dubois posted a video (must have found a charger) in which he speaks about how clever they are:



Now, while the boneheads were chased off, they did find time to assault some of the counter-protesters:


I did see two clips of members of the Northern Guard and Soldiers of Odin shouting homophobic slurs and threats at counter-protesters whom they encountered followed by the assault. There will be more on that, but though more than one bonehead was involved, only one Noun of Odin was taken into custody; I'm not sure if he was arrested or released later.

In any case, I would urge anyone who can to head to the Edmonton legislature tomorrow with the awareness that you might have to move to other locations as the boneheads try to avoid being opposed.

WCAI Rally In Edmonton Missing WCAI on Friday; Incredibly Pathetic Showing on Saturday

So, what do Vancouver, Toronto, and now Edmonton have in common?

They are all rallies organized by Joey Deluca (founder of the overtly racist Worldwide Coalition Against Islam) that he and other members of the WCAI failed to appear at because despite their claims to be lions they continue to show themselves to be bullies frightened off when stood up to.



The good folks at Capital City Antifacist Resistance and Edmonton Against Fascism live tweeted the event. Long story short, the bonheads were outnumbers by what looks to be a couple hundred people at least and completely routed:

















































Now I can see Joey posting a video of himself and three others showing that they held a secret rally elsewhere and "totally owning the libtards" because.... well.... he's not so bright. Even if that were to happen, I'm not sure even that could polish this turd as his fellow boneheads must be at least starting to consider him to be incredibly unreliable. Hell, Dan Dubois and a few Canadian Combat Coalition members flew across the country for this and Joey couldn't be bothered to show when he realized how outnumbered they would be.

The WCAI rally was to be a 72 hour affair.

Did it really even make it to half an hour?

In the meantime, today the reactionary Yellow Vests in Edmonton appear to be getting more of the same:
















The protest then moved to the campaign offices of the NDP leader. It is really funny how the "not racist" Yellow Vesters always seem to include a majority of racists in their numbers including overtly racist groups:










It might be interesting to note here that the fella wearing the WCAI t-shirt is in fact a Canadian Combat Coalition member from Ontario:





Soooo, are the CCC doing their racist buddy a favor by trying to appear as if WCAI members showed up in Edmonton or are they simply broadcasting their own bigotry?
I think this might be a case of killing two birds with one stone.

Joey Deluca of WCAI Planning Rally in Edmonton on March 29. He Should Be Prepared O Be Laughed At.... Again

Sometimes I come across information in a rather round-about way. For example years ago I found myself reading an article on Wikipedia and realized that I had forgotten how I had gotten there. I just started clicking links from the original piece I had been looking up so I had to backtrack. FYI, one can get to an Asian warlord of the 13th century by originally looking up information on an actor who starred in a 1990s medical drama in 12 clicks. 

Such is the case with this:


But lets start and the beginning which was about three weeks ago.

I hadn't been looking at posts on Stormfront in some time so I decided to see what was new. Truth be told, not much. A few of the usual suspects remain posting in the Canadian section, but for all intents and purposes it is a bit of a ghost town there. Still, one post by Bill Noble caught my attention:


I had known that George Burdi had come out as a white nationalist after close to two decades of claiming to have rejected the ideology in part due to his stint in prison. I was genuinely saddened when I learned this because a big part of the reason I do this is because of the hope that people can change. I still believe this to be true, but one has to want to change and I don't think Burdi really did despite his claims he did.

In any case, it didn't take long for Kevin "No Show" Goudreau to offer his $0.02. (incidentally, he appears to have failed to show up at a March 21 rally he claimed to have organized; I know you're as surprised as I am).

Where No Show earned his nickname.

Goudreau is a narcissistic nobody who likes to present himself as the nexus of the white nationalist movement during the past 30 years based primarily on his 4 second appearance in the documentary "Hearts of Hate" and decades later an appearance in the "National Post." And of course in his response he Goudreaus all over the place:





Goudreau was called out by someone on the forum because even some boneheads know a bullshitter when they come across one:



We also had an appearance from Tom Trenerry:


Trenerry hadn't posted on SF for at least 10 years by by count, but back when he was hanging out with the Aryan Guard/Blood & Honour he was a frequent posted using numerous usernames as he was frequently being banned for threatening other forum members. He hadn't been in ARC's sights for years until his association with the reactionary Yellow Vests protests and shacking up with Dara "Nazi Mom" Graham:


Still, it was funny to read this since not long ago Trenerry and Goudreau seemed to get along:


It goes without saying that Trenerry also isn't a fan of ARC:


However his post on SF mentioning Joey Deluca and the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam and this post on Twitter reminded me....



.... what IS Joey up to lately?

Christchurch Truthers: Denial of Right-wing Violence As A Self-Preservation Strategy

This past Saturday, PEGIDA Canada tried to march in Toronto. It went poorly as the tiny contingent of PEGIDA supporters, Nouns of Odin, Northern Guard, and Canadian Combat Coalition members were outnumbered by between 250 to 300 counter-protesters:






ARC hopes to perhaps have a more detailed report later this week, however in the meantime Kosalan Kathir has an excellent thread on Twitter detailing the event my the minute. There is one particular tweet though that I want to pay attention to:



Readers will recognize the first person seen in the video filming himself while walking forward as Rick Boswick. Boswick is a frequent participant in these events often accompanying Sandra Soloman and Derek Storie as well as members of CCC and other hate groups. He is also active in the reactionary Yellow Vests movement, attending their "big" event last month in Ottawa where Storie was filmed with Faith Goldy:


The weekend before on March 17, Boswick and Storie were decked out in their yellow safety vest and protesting on an overpass somewhere near Toronto. Evidently, the police may have been involved:


This protest took place only days after the murder of 50 Muslims in Christchurch by a man who was violently opposed to immigration and who viewed Donald Trump as a symbol of white resurgence, if not necessarily a great leader. In the video that Boswick posted, he speaks about the victims of the tragedy.

Oh, not the people murdered.

No, the "real" victims are the "patriots":




Watching the video, one almost has the impression that Boswick believes the murder of 50 human beings was a plot specifically designed to thwart his own personal efforts to hold an event.

Honestly, that really isn't far off from the truth. Besides whining about how unfair the criticism that will be leveled at their tone deaf behaviour is in the aftermath of a tragedy, Boswick, Storie, and another float the idea that the Christchurch mosque murders never actually happened, a position those viewing the video certainly hold:



Within a very short period of time after the murders in Christchurch took place, I noticed a number of reactions from the groups and individuals monitored by ARC. There were those who celebrated and/or justified the murders. Others claimed to condemn the murders.... BUT then went on to justify them and suggest they wouldn't have happened if only "those people" had stayed in "their own country." Then there were those who latched onto any perceived inconsistency, almost always imagined, in the event in order to claim it as a "false flag" with the purpose of stifling their freedom and taking their weapons. In fact it now joins an increasingly long list of events that the far-right claim didn't happen:

One of the events Turino is referring to, mail bombs sent to media and figures in
the Democratic Party by a Trump supporter, is being claimed as a "false flag" on
the same day that Cesar Sayoc pleaded guilty to charges he carried out the campaign.
None of this should be any surprise to those who have been following this movement. In fact one might regard it as means to save face. The groups we cover have a vested interest in claiming that the left are the only ones who behave in a violent manner and that the right are perpetually victimized. When called out for their social media posts encouraging extrajudicial killings, assassinations, assaults, and arson, they explain away their violent rhetoric as "blowing off steam" which isn't intended to be taken seriously.... when they are caught in the act. Either that or the violent posts are REALLY the acts of left wing trolls trying to make the "patriots" look bad even when the posters are well known names and leaders in their movement.

When someone on the far right who has been radicalized by this online echo chamber does act out in a destructive manner, this is also easy to explain away. The person committing the act was REALLY a leftist and the "fake news" is trying to tar the good, god-fearing, "patriots". More often than not though, the go-to argument has been that the act was a "false flag" committed by dark forces within the government influenced by "globalists" which is often another way of saying "Jew" or "Zionist." Again, the far right is the real victim. This victim hood is further reinforced by conspiracy sites -- Rebel Media, Brietbart, InfoWars, etc -- that serve to confirm their worst fears despite the evidence that proves the contrary.

When these people say that those who support their extremist views have never committed an act of violence even when presented with numerous instances where this has happened, a lot have either convinced themselves of this truth or they genuinely believe it.

In the days after the Christchurch mosque murders, a number of groups and individuals posted their belief that the tragedy was a false flag aimed specifically to victimize them.

Those include the Canadian Combat Coalition....

Goudreau Claims To Not Have Written Post Encouraging Murder Laughable; We Have Videos Dude!

This past Monday Kevin "No Show" Goudreau posted the following messages on his personal Facebook profile:






The last two are the most relevant as the appear to be advocating and encouraging the murder of individuals and members of groups Goudreau opposes. The posts were up for at least 5 hours before he removed them, but ARC was only one of several groups and individuals who grabbed screen shots.

There has been significant media coverage and Goudreau might actually be finding himself in trouble after years of similar threats (more on that later) but in true Goudreau fashion, he is (a) denying he wrote and posted the comments (b) claiming they are the work of "antifa" who either hacked his profile to write the comments or created a dummy account to write them and then deleted the profile and (c) suggests he will soon be suing those who posted the screen shots:



Hmmmm, I wonder why "Dane Adam" seems concerned about his name being known in association with white supremacist Kevin Goudreau?





Ah, well yes, that might do it.

Back to Goudreau, aside from those credulously commenting and cheering on what will be a non-existent lawsuit, his claim not to have written the posts are laughable for two reasons. First, he also posted the exact same message in his closed Facebook group promoting the formerly White Nationalist Front (now going by the name the Canadian Nationalist Front):

Second, we do have actual video evidence of Goudreau making threats. Like.... a LOT of videos!

Let's start with those from 2010 shall we?


I would point out here that Goudreau's Aryan Polish princess actually didn't exist and he was caught in the lie.


We then move on to 2013:

Anti-Yellow Vest Protest in Edmonton: Counter Protester From the Clann Hate Group Arrested

At the Alberta Legislature an anti-Yellow Vests protest took place calling the movement out on their ties to overt racists and racist groups such as the Nouns of Odin, Northern Guard, and other hate groups. In response, the Yellow Vesters counter-protested.... along side the Nouns of Odin, Northern Guard, and other hate groups:





So.... thank you for proving the point I guess?

Journalist Carly Robinson reported on the event:






As a bit of an aside, it is a bit galling to hear Jeff Sharpe claim that the there are no Yellow Vesters who are racists given his own history associating with groups such as the Worldwide Coalition against Islam and the Canadian Combat Coalition.


In any case, an interesting incident occurred during the protest.

One of the Clann members was arrested, evidently on outstanding warrants:


Ms. Robinson witnessed the arrest and included a photo in her Tweet:



ARC readers will recognize the man being led away in handcuffs as the man in the following photograph alongside Clann leader Tyson Hunt attending a United Conservative Party event in October 2018:

Yellow Vesters and Others, Including (Former?) Soldier Continuing to Engage In Assassination Fantasies

On Thursday, Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick appeared before the House of Commons justice committee to address questions concerning SNC-Lavalin, however he also discussed the increasingly dangerous political climate specifically referring to an incident during the United We Roll/Yellow Vests rally that occurred earlier in the week:





Wernick spoke about his concern that the language being used by some politicians were examples of, "violence-inciting rhetoric that may lead to an assassination during the upcoming federal election campaign." A number of politicians on the right criticized Mr. Wernick as well as others who echoed his concerns:






Of course this blog as well as Yellow Vests Canada Exposed, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, and a number of journalist have already provided ample evidence for Mr. Wernick's and Ms. Khalid's statements:



Mr. Wernick's concerns were dismissed by Yellow Vests Canada founder and Facebook group administrator Marc "Tyler" Malenfant who suggested that any attempt to murder a Canadian politician would be a "false flag" which is the claim made by similar groups whenever the toxic rhetoric results in a real world tragedy. Not surprisingly he used the recent case of Jussie Smollett to make his point:


Also not surprisingly, those posting responded agreed:







Of course one can already see the problem with Malenfant's claim in that even in this thread many reactionary Yellow Vest members are openly hoping for the assassination of the prime minister. Also problematic is that prior to Malenfant suggesting that any attempt to murder Trudeau would be a false flag, the topic was already being discussed on the group's Facebook page:


There are two threads responding to this specific link. I would first note that it is a link not to a reputable news site, but that of the Cultural Action Party, a fringe ethnic nationalist party run by Brad Salzberg who has ties to hate groups including the Soldiers of Odin and the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam. The title itself is misleading; Mr. Wernick wasn't specifically referring to the SNC-Lavalin situation but to the general political atmosphere. Also, while Wernick doesn't specifially refer to Trudeau, those commenting assume that he is referring to the prime minister as the potential target and theeyyyyy LOVE that!









There is also a longer second thread referring to the same Cultural Action Party link:
