Last week one of the big stories I was following involved the removal of the Proud Boys on Facebook, both group pages and personal profiles. Now one can still find a few there still, but of those that have been removed Proud Boys Canada and Ontario member Tim Kelly are among those that had been removed:
There was the usual histrionics from the usual suspects. For example, the Alberta III% militia started anticipating their own deplatforming:
The award for most over the top reaction to a private company making the decision to remove groups and individuals violating the terms of service though goes to Faith Goldy:
Ms. Goldy has been on a bit of a roll lately when it comes to hyperbole. For example she seems genuinely angry that she didn't win the mayoral election in Toronto and has decided to blame both the media and Toronto voters for not being sufficiently "red pilled":
Then again she might be a bit angry because she could very well be on the hook for close to $100,000:

Bell Media seeking costs of $43,000 against Faith Goldy after her lawsuit against them was tossed out, according to a video FG posted earlier today. If that happens, our work (and yours) will have cost her and her alt-right neo-Nazi supporters $93,000+. Boo! Happy Halloween!— Canadian Anti-Hate Network (@antihateca) November 1, 2018
Aside from the rather breathtaking arrogance of her post, coming so soon after the tragedy in Pittsburgh it is especially interesting that she has decided to continue to parrot the talking points of the current American president who has used the murders to sow more fear and mine grievances for political purposes:
I suppose this really marks Goldy's return to the white nationalist, conspiracy promoting, fold after a brief and superficial flirtation with "civic nationalism" in her effort to win votes in perhaps the most ethnically diverse city on the planet. For example, while she made a point to hype Meir Weinstein's and the Jewish Defence League's endorsement of her, the only things she had to say about the murder of 11 men and women in a synagogue by a white supremacist was to suggest it might have been a conspiracy to make Trump and the Republicans look bad, complain about her (and ally's) own victimization, and use the opportunity to promote her own political views:

| To put this comment in perspective, I suggest readers take look at this article concerning homicides in Canada. |
Finally she has started once again to promote overtly fascist political figures and "alt-right" AstroTurf efforts including the recent flyering campaign that took place in some Canadian cities:
So as Goldy attempts to reassert her white nationalist bona fides one has to wonder if she'll be accepted back into the fold. Time will tell I suppose.
a decade ago, faith goldy and i starred in a high school production of 'the laramie project' together. now, she's a white nationalist internet celebrity who hangs out on daily stormer podcasts. so... what the fuck happened to her? listen: https://t.co/s2J3WV8xtH— Anna Silman (@annaesilman) October 30, 2018
