If one has been paying attention, one would note that members of the Canadian Nationalist Party have become ubiquitous at far right events. If there is a Yellow Vests, Pegida, or (as occurred this past Sunday) anti-LGBTQ event, it is almost guaranteed that members and supporters of the CNP will be present:
The CNP leader Travis Patron has appeared on this blog before including when he was confronted at one of his very poorly attended speaking events in Winnipeg. We also discussed his attempt to book a space to speak at the University of Toronto.
Suffice it to say he hasn't enjoyed ARC's coverage of his effort:
By the way, I feel I should mention that Patron plans on running in the next federal election on the consistency of Souris-Moose Mountain in Saskatchewan:
Despite Patron's claims that the CNP isn't racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, or antisemites, he certainly attracts a lot of racists, homophobes, Islamophobes, and antisemites including blast from the past, former Nazi Party of Canada leader John Beattie:
In fact based on the what we learned about two CNP members who were part of the attack on Pride attendees in Hamilton, we can add two others to the list:

And of course there's the issue of his supporters' view of universal suffrage to discuss:
But hey, maybe we aren't being fair to Patron himself? Perhaps he really is opposed to the positions his followers support and that he is simply misunderstood?
Well....
Yeah.... that is some of the least subtle antisemitism I've seen in years.
Also not especially subtle....
A thousand years eh?
Wherever did I hear someone speaking about a thousand year empire before???
