The move comes after a report found that far-right extremists in the Ukrainian military bragged on social media that they received training from the Canadian Armed Forces and took part in joint exercises.

Foreign donors opened wallets to ‘hurt’ Alberta energy sector: Report
EDMONTON — The inquiry launched by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s government into the scale of foreign funds aimed at damaging the province’s oil and gas industry has issued its long-awaited report, finding that foreign donors provided nearly $1.3 billion in funds for Canadian environmental campaigns between 2003 and 2019.
What Is Male State, The Patriarchal Movement Russia Has Branded ‘Extremist’?
When a court in Nizhny Novgorod, over 400 kilometers east of Moscow, declared a radical chauvinist movement “extremist” and outlawed it on October 18, its notorious leader, Vladislav Pozdnyakov, was not present to argue his side of the story.
“Where is Pozdnyakov right now?” Judge Anna Belova asked the activist’s lawyer in court, according to a report by the news outlet Meduza.
“I can’t tell you, your honor,” the lawyer, Dzambolat Garabayev, answered.
Portland firefighters to get bulletproof vests as risks increase
The decision was spurred by a “changing landscape” and more calls that increase the possibility of firefighters being involved with aggressive patients and bystanders, according to Portland Fire & Rescue spokesperson Terry Foster.
BS. They’re afraid of #BLM and Antifa.
Learning From The Radical Right
I have been meaning for a while to write about one of the best books I’ve read this year: Matthew Rose’s A World After Liberalism: Philosophers of the Radical Right. Rose is not on the radical right; he’s a Catholic and the director of the Berkeley Institute, and a contributor to First Things magazine. In fact, a superb 2019 essay he wrote for First Things about the far-right journalist and essayist Samuel Francis forms the basis for his new book.
Rose’s new book profiles some of the leading contemporary thinkers of the radical right, showcasing why they appeal to some people today. He neither lionizes them nor demonizes them, though he certainly does not whitewash their beliefs. What’s so valuable about this book — you’ll get this if you read the Sam Francis essay linked above — is that Rose looks at these figures squarely and fairly, and explains why they matter today. You don’t have to like any of them, but you need to know who they are and what they thought.
Videos Finally Released to Public from January 6 Obliterate DoJ’s ‘Insurrection’ Narrative
The Justice Department has vehemently opposed the release of videos shot from the Capitol Building surveillance cameras on January 6. They claimed before the court that releasing the videos posed a “national security risk.” But US District Chief Judge Beryl Howell wasn’t buying it, and now we know why.
Canada’s Conservatives Need To Try Shifting The Country To The Right
With Erin O’Toole now under siege following his failure to even match the campaign performance of Andrew Scheer, the CPC is embroiled in a civil war.
The PPC got more than 800,000 votes, and that should worry all of us
While most political analysts were focused on whether the Liberals would hold on to their minority government, something else was happening throughout election night: the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) popular vote count continued to rise. In fact, they more than doubled the votes for the Green Party. In 2019, the PPC had almost 300,000 votes. But this election, at last count, the current total is more than 800,000—more than double that of two years ago. While none of the candidates in the PPC—not even leader Maxime Bernier—has won a seat, the party has been able rally the angry anti-maskers and those opposed to pandemic health measures under their far-right umbrella. A closer look at some of those who’ve joined the party include those who were rejected by the Conservative party or gained some degree of notoriety from racist rhetoric, or are opposed to pandemic health protections. And almost a million Canadians support them.
The further the CPC moves left, the more the PPC is demonized as ‘far-right’.
QAnon, Proud Boys: Huge hack reveals details of far-right websites’ internet provider and clients
Epik has long been the favourite internet company of the far-right, providing domain services to QAnon theorists, Proud Boys and other instigators of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — allowing them to broadcast hateful messages from behind a veil of anonymity.
But that veil abruptly vanished last week when a huge breach by the hacker group Anonymous dumped into public view more than 150 gigabytes of previously private data — including user names, passwords and other identifying information of Epik’s customers.
MEDIA BLACKOUT…no doubt because this protest took place in Times Square, NYC
For the third weekend in a row, “F*** Joe Biden” chants are spreading across the country. This time, it happened in deep blue New York City.
Conspicuous ‘insurgents’ at #Justice4J6 protest draws brutal online mockery
When it comes to epic narrative failures it will be hard to surpass Saturday’s #Justice4J6 protest in Washington D.C. that was hysterically promoted by the media as the sequel to the so-called “insurrection” that has served as justification for the government’s ongoing persecution of Trump supporters.

Half of America Says Jan 6 Protesters are ‘Persecuted, Political Prisoners’.
Peaceful protesters caught in the maelstrom of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol are being held as “political prisoners” and are being persecuted by law enforcement, says a plurality of American voters.
Protests at Trudeau rallies an evolution of far-right ideology, says expert
The protests that have dogged Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s election campaign for weeks shouldn’t come as a surprise after months of demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions, says one extremism researcher.
“These people have been protesting against COVID for a long time. People were kind of shocked at the vitriol and the violent rhetoric — and the violence itself — that these people are bringing to the campaign trail,” said Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.
“We’re not surprised by it because these people, these COVID conspiracy types, have been very violent for months.”
MALCOLM: Liberal elites have a bigotry problem
Liberal elites in politics and the media have a bigotry problem. They suffer from populist-phobia — an irrational fear and hatred of populist protesters.
Just look at the way much of the media writes off the tens of thousands of anti-lockdown protesters who have overwhelmed the streets in major Canadian cities throughout the pandemic.
Again last weekend in Montreal, Canadians of all walks of life — of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities — came out to protest against vaccine passports. An estimated 50,000 freedom-loving Canadians were peacefully using their voice to say “enough is enough.”
The media either completely ignore the concerns of these protestors, or like Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, demonized them as “angry extremists.”
