White nationalist rally in Niagara sparks warning over growing hate groups

People who track hate groups say they are becoming more visible in our region and more organized. A CBC investigation first delved into these so-called ‘active clubs’ that are operating across Ontario. And recently, one of them held a rally in a Niagara park which has pushed the issue into the spotlight even further. Over the Labour Day weekend, sixty masked men marched on the General Brock Monument at Queenston Heights in Niagara-on-the-Lake wearing matching shirts, carrying flags, and chanting in unison. They’re known as Second Sons Canada, and they claim to be a “nationalist club.” According to their website, they’re focused on political activism and fitness training. But experts warn the group’s ideology and presentation go far beyond that of a social club. “Second Sons Canada is the more militant arm of a white nationalist network called Diagolon. It was a couple of podcasters and live streamers who would look at the news of the day, be extremely angry about it and offer up a racist and anti-Semitic take,” said Evan Balgord from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network. RCMP documents describe Diagolon as a “militia-like network with supporters who subscribe to accelerationist ideologies — and the idea that a civil war or collapse of western governments is inevitable and ought to be sped up.”
