Far-Right Infighting Regarding the "Save the Children East Meets West" Convoy

While watching the infighting on the far right regarding the "Save the Children" convoy has been fun I wasn't going to write about it. Then Jason LaFace did a stream and, well, how could I not then? 

This clip sort of acts as a summary:


So let's start at the beginning shall we? 

Over the past few days far-right groups like Veterans4Freedom and Police on Guard For Thee have been warning their supporters and others not to participate in the "Save the Children East Meets West" convoy:


The reasons why are varied, but also include information Jeff Evely of V4F posted regarding what he heard at one of the secret meetings:

V4F also released an audio in which "someone in the know" talks about the plan to surround police in the financial district in Toronto and that they had 3 million supporters, such as former police and military, who would help to remove the government:
I was initially sure that the voice in the clip was that of Marcus Ray, a far-right activist who participated in the Ottawa Occupation in February 2022. In fact I stated my belief that it was Ray in the Twitter (er... X I guess) thread that I originally published. However it is far more likely, certain even, that the voice is that of Shawn "Iron Crow" Bradley who is one of the Nova Scotia organizers and with whom Jeff Evely would have attended the secret meeting with.

Here is a clip for comparison:

However while it was not Marcus Ray, I do think it is fair to suggest that his influence (or ideas) are reflected to some degree in this event. 

For example, Ray also spoke about surrounding police. He also talked about possessing an army of ex-police and veterans:

We also know that Elliot McDavid, Gordon Berry, and Shawn "Iron Crow" Bradley, were in attendance at the "planning meeting" in Manitoba last Fall organized by Marcus Ray (thanks to a friend for these screen grabs of Berry in the top photo and Bradley in the bottom... the V4F t-shirt in the top one is rather ironic now):



Finally, we see that the main eastern organizer, Gordon Berry, often wears a Constitutional Sheriffs t-shirt which was Marcus Ray's project (though the American-based far right group stated they didn't know of a Canadian branch):

 

In any case if Ray isn't involved his ideas appear to be being utilized:

But back to the released audio, suffice to say that the convoy folks aren't pleased and are claiming that this is all disinformation. Among those is Jason LaFace who here threatens to hack V4F's website and claims they and Jeff Evely are paid infiltrators:



For those who aren't aware of who Jason LaFace, formerly associated with the Soldiers of Odin, is, he was involved in the Ottawa Occupation and the infamous Memorandum of Understanding that would have been an end run around the elected government (and which had no chance of being agreed to):
Here are a few other relevant links:
Jason LaFace is also prone to... uhm... outbursts such as his claim to have always known that V4F were government plants. He also claims that unions are trying to groom children. Basically throwing everything including the kitchen sink in his accusations:

You see LaFace is also an Alpha unlike the other Beta men in the country. Word of warning that this clip contains some really ugly homophobic missives and epithets:


In yet another virulently homophobic rant where he says the LGBTQ are Nazis (again, there is a lot of anti-LGBTQ epithets dropped) he says that people are arriving at the main camp in spite of the detractors:


Have I mentioned that he really seems mad at V4F and Jeff Evely, because he is REALLY mad at V4F and Jeff Evely:


LaFace talks about how he and his "cyber guys" (he thinks he is a hacker) have been exposing infiltrators. He also mentions his own criminal record and makes a threat: 

"Do you know what my family does to snitches? On my mom's side. Sicilians. Should I say more?":


Regarding the audio released by V4F, LaFace claims he can tell it is fake just by listening to it. They won't be violent, though he immediately undercuts this. 

Also, he talks to France and France tells him Canadians are wimps. 

Uhm... France is a country my dude:


But hey, he is willing to compromise on the name and not call it a convoy if people just show up because Canada only has months left before, oh I don't know, something happens?

It has been "a couple of months" now since 2015 at least in which Canada's collapse has been predicted.
 
These are long, bloody, months:


Now by this point you are probably inclined to believe that LaFace might be prone to hyperbole, but he will have you know he has been doing cyber for hours to expose the infiltrators:



He recounts a personal story about why he dislikes and distrusts V4F and, folks, I can't even. 

Dude claims to have organized an event with 10,000 participant when I'm not sure he can organize a backyard bbq with him as the only person who showed up:


Continuing his claims of self-importance, it was HE who spoke to all the real vets who supported the Ottawa Occupation and he has all their names and addresses written down which (a) is almost certainly not true and (b) would be TERRIBLE opsec if it was... which it isn't:


He calls out V4F and Diagolon's Jeremy MacKenzie who he says he knows are dangerous but that he is as dangerous if not more so: 

"I have my own army. Read my fucking criminal record.  You'll see the people I associate with." 

Also, snitches get ditches, not just stitches because, not violent.

As an aside I have no love for JMack or V4F, but I don't for a second think that they couldn't end LaFace in a heartbeat so Chester should probably not antagonize Spike:


I would note here that LaFace is currently in Alberta with no apparent imminent plans to go to Ontario himself, so keep that in mind as he continues to call people out:


LaFace mentions the MOU and how he (again) saved the day and probably the country single handedly. 

But yeah, 300,000 people signed it? And you have the hard drive? And are the only person who has it?

Totally things that have happened:


In claiming he would commit another crime to keep the hard drive from falling into police hands, he shares why he is keeping it and other artifacts.  

One day, they will be enshrined in a Museum of Freedom that commemorates their heroic efforts:


I'll finish with that clip because it really does go to the motivation of people like LaFace. They want to be famous. They want to be known for having done something great. They think they should be in history books. 

They want to be remembered.

These are people occupy the fringes of society but because they have been able to connect in an online echo chamber have convinced themselves they are movers of history.

When one looks at it that way, the likes of Jason LaFace, but also people like Pat King, Kevin Johnston, Jeremy MacKenzie, Artur Pawlowski, Tamara Lich and so many others becomes just so much more pathetic.

In the end I don't know if this "convoy" will go to Toronto. It seems that the police in Toronto may have acted in response to the recording released by V4F, though ultimately nothing happened on that day. In a recent stream by one of the participant it seems that he believes the final destination is Ottawa which makes some sense considering it is the seat of government and occupies a "Custer's Last Stand" symbolism amongst this crowd. That said the camp at Phelpston seems to be closer to Toronto than Ottawa so who knows?

Also Police tried to contact Norman Blanchfield because he's in breach of his bail conditions and they told him they'd arrest him. He refused to speak to them and instead did a livestream while driving to address the cops:
But there is more.

Elliot "Moose" McDavid also posted a missive attacking V4F as cowards and traitors:



In his rant he references the Marcus Ray event last Fall in which a V4F spy attended, though because it was QAnon crank Logan Murphy who is about as reliable as a train schedule in Greece they learned about this effort when Murphy spilled the beans to them.

McDavid also insists secrecy is important and that it will be peaceful but undercuts this statement by his next statement justifying being aggressive.

Also of interest, it seems big, brave, Elliot McDavid isn't himself going to Ontario as he criticized others for not going, though he does say he flip flopped back and forth and his heart is with those who are going so I guess that makes it all okay:


Finally in a rather telling rant, McDavid basically says that just because they are vets that it doesn't mean that the V4F members aren't traitors ans disgusting.

Support the troops, eh?

But he also mentions Marcus Ray, a man whom he considers to be a friend, claiming that he has no involvement and that they only wear the Constitutional Sheriff t-shirts because they like them.

I mean, since it isn't stained perhaps it is his dress t-shirt?


 I don't know what the outcome of the events that at being planned will be, where it will take place, and when it will occur.

But it very well be quite disruptive and potentially dangerous.

Peaceful Red Deer Anti-Racist March A Success; Far-Right Narrative At Odds With Reality

This past Sunday, Red Deer Against Racism and the Black and Indigenous Alliance Alberta (BIAA) held a march in the city of Red Deer, AB. In stark contrast to the event which was to have taken place on September 20 where far-right hateriots and assorted hate groups (instigated by Pat King despite his claims of innocence now) physically attacked and intimidated attendees, this march was wildly successful:

The march began at 3:30 pm after a smudge ceremony. It continued to City Hall Park -- some marchers were seen to pick up trash along the way -- where speakers discussed the need to have an honest dialogue about racial injustice.

The media also noted the peaceful nature of the march, despite the efforts of the hateriots:
There were of course hateriots present who attempted, but failed, to disrupt the march owing in large part to the heavy police presence:

Red Deer Aftermath and Some Identifications

This past Sunday the group Red Deer Against Racism with speakers from the Rural Alberta Against Racism (RAAR) and the Black and Indigenous Alliance Alberta (BIAA) had planned on holding a rally in the city of Red Deer, AB. Similar rallies had been held in other rural communities where members of those communities spoke about their experiences with racism in rural Alberta. The events attracted people from both outside these communities and within and were always peaceful and included families.

Then Pat King decided to Pat King all over their efforts:

Despite being the one who threatened the members of RAAR and their supporters with violence should they come to "his town", King unsurprisingly claimed that they were the ones who were violent. The thing is, King knows this to be untrue. He harassed members of RAAR at another event and at still another he hid in the bushes filming the rally. In neither incident was he touched and in the second he was ignored:

No Pat, this isn't creepy at all.

But then the truth isn't of great importance to these people.

The Northern Guard: Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and QAnon

Since late 2015 Canada has experienced a marked increase in the number of far-right groups opposed to the governing Liberal Party, immigration and refugees, Muslims, and the nebulous concept of globalism which in itself is mired in an assortment of conspiracy theories and antisemitism both subtle and overt. While many of the groups that have emerged are tiny, generally confined to social media, and splinter quickly as personality conflicts emerge, there are groups such as the anti-Muslim militia/leather vest fetishists Northern Guard that are active off-line and are growing with chapters across the country. While claiming to be “patriots” and acting as a charitable endeavor, one does not have to scratch the surface of that claim too deeply to find the real motivation of the group.

The Northern Guard’s origins can be found in an earlier far-right group. In October 2015 Finnish neo-Nazi Mika Ranta, a member of the Nordic Resistance Movement and who in 2005 and 2016 was convicted racially-based assaults, founded the Soldiers of Odin (SoO). Though claiming to be a patriotic organization that aimed to protect Finnish citizens, its real purpose was to intimidate immigrants and refugees, in particular those from predominately Muslim countries who had fled conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa. SoO chapters soon emerged in other European countries and by early 2016 the far-right group had a presence in Canada. It soon became the largest far-right group in Canada since the Heritage Front of the late 1980s and early 1990s with a national president as well as provincial and city chapters across the country. While also claiming to be community activists, Anti-Racist Canada found evidence that the group was composed of members who held virulently racist, Islamophobic, and antisemitic views in Canada and across the globe.

By 2017 with greater media attention particularly focused on SoO’s links to the Finnish chapter founded by an overt neo-Nazi, the Canadian SoO began to fall apart and a cohesive nationally-controlled entity. The national and some provincial chapters disavowed any connection to Finland though they kept the name while other provincial chapters, especially the Quebec chapter, reaffirmed their connection to the Finnish founding chapter. Still other provincial chapters broke away entirely forming new groups, most of which did not last for more than a few months at best. As of 2020 the SoO still exists in Canada however in a much more fragmented form.

Most of the splinter groups existed for a very brief time but there were two that had much greater staying power. The first was the Storm Alliance which was founded by the former national SoO vice-president/Quebec chapter president.The second, founded by former New Brunswick SoO chapter leader Nick Gallant in 2017, is the Northern Guard.

Like the other splinter groups, the Northern Guard maintained the look of the SoO – leather vests with patches designating chapter and rank reminiscent of biker culture – as well as the public claim of being a service organization. It has also attempted to mainstream itself by being photographed with federal political figures and claiming to organize food, toy, and clothing drives. However, the online discourse clearly indicated that their ideology was and remains profoundly xenophobic. In one exchange in early February 2020 two members of the private Facebook group discussed refugees and Muslims two members wrote about burning down mosques (which he misspells) with one suggesting that he already had done so elsewhere:


Since its inception the Northern Guard has had members and supporters who have expressed racist, antisemitic, and Islamophobic views. A Saskatchewan vice-president proudly flew a Nazi flag in his home. Members and supporters of the Northern Guard were also members and supporters of other groups including the KKK and the now outlawed Blood & Honour. Nick Gallant himself in an interview with a white nationalist in Toronto stated that the Northern Guard would be, “pushing that white nationalism.” 

Gallant, who has recently taken to claiming FNMI ancestry, disputes claims that the Northern Guard is a hate group:


However former Northern Guard Nova Scotia vice-president Georgie Fagan confirmed it was a hate group when he left:

The violence and the threats came after that. Because I knew everything about them. I told them, you’re a bunch of liars. You’re a bunch of white supremacists. I have no respect for you guys.

In response to this article, Nick Gallant wrote in the group’s private Facebook group:

In fact, Gallant and other members seem to see the Northern Guard as a means of settling personal vendettas and intimidating their detractors. For example when the British Columbia chapter leader posted he was angry about a protest he was planning being shut down by the police prior to occurring, blaming a “snitch”, Gallant responded:

What’s the Dept for the Police?? … What idiots don’t realize is cops have to release that info to a lawyer if asked And we just so happen to have We just so happen to have a lawyer .. I’ll get your fuckin snitch

In both Gallant’s Fagan post and this second one referring to the aborted protest in BC, members replied with some variation of “snitches get stitches” but it is in the second post that we find this:

Liberals. Run and tell them to hide under their bed!... I can’t wait until we can do what needs to be done to all the liberal pieces of shit in this country… power tools are a good investment right now. Drills with long bits...

On several occasions members of the Northern Guard have acted in a physically aggressive manner at a number of rallies across the country including Toronto and Calgary. Members have also acted, in what can only be considered to be euphemistically, as “security” for other far-right groups.

An examination of the Northern Guard wouldn't be complete without a look at the conspiracy theories that inform the memberships' worldview much as it does that of other far-right groups:

Though always inclined towards unquestioningly accepting conspiracy theories, 2020 is the year that the Northern Guard has gone all-in on the QAnon conspiracy theory. Beginning in January with the approval of the Northern Guard leadership, Steve Gutsche, a moderator on the private Facebook group has, been posting a series of manifestos that he terms as “political education”:

The contents of these paranoid missives put to lie any claim by Gallant (if it wasn't already self-evident) that the Northern Guard isn't an extremist group:

The very first and most important thing is to realize that we are in a state of WAR. It has been so far a covert war, but it is a war none the less. The second most important thing to realize is that this war is a global war and not solely confined to Canada.

In the same January 30 article, as well as the February 13 and March 10 follow-ups, exhibit the strong antisemitic and Islamophobic tenor of the pieces as well as the same baseless tropes that have existed in the conspiratorial echo chamber for decades:

The single largest threat to the world today is the “Globalization” plan of the world elites. They are known by several names. The New World Order, The Illuminati, The G(K)hazaryan Mafia, and others. The world elites have taken over and are using the UN as their platform to initiate their plans for world domination, and are using Islam as their agent for creating chaos and mayhem inside many of the countries they wish to topple…

Next installment will be an overview of the “Elites” who are behind this plan…known as the Illuminati, the NWO, the Khazarian mafia, club of rome, council on foreign relations, etc…many secret societies will be revealed…

Globalism is face of the elites. The un-elected Uber wealthy. The ones saying we have too many people in the world. Some of the names are Rothschild, Rockefeller, Gates, Soros.

Rothchild’s are the world’s richest family with an estimated $500 Trillion dollars. They have financed both sides of every major war since Napoleon. They own all the world’s central banks except 5. They own the USA Federal Reserve. Central banks in every country not sovereign controlled but privately owned.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted increased hyperbolic language and paranoia as the articles since March 28 through May 4 have been subtitled “War Updates”:

My interpretation of the research regarding this virus is that it was developed in a research lab near Winnipeg and then stolen and taken to China by Chinese intelligence agents. The patent for the virus does list Bill Gates as one of the patent holders through the Gates foundation, and it is believed the virus was developed as a bio-weapon and is a part of the de-population agenda…

I cannot say that the covid19 crisis is a hoax because we know the virus is real; however the level of media attention, hype and the ensuing panic it creates does offer a certain skepticism because this is simply the latest of several other designer viruses released in recent times…AIDS/HIV, Bird flu, Swine flu, SARS, MERV, H1N1, Ebloa, Ecoli, Zika, West Nile, etc…These are all man made patented viruses that have been released upon the world in the past 4 decades (co-incidentally Agenda 21 was signed near 30 yrs ago)…

It is an election year and some believe the virus was released in an attempt to interfere with the election by creating another crisis situation they try to blame on Trump, once again trying to reduce his support in the coming election.

This crisis has now created a world-wide travel restriction which makes it much easier to pursue the deep state criminals and make mass arrests. Military is not under the same restrictions and there are now 30,000 plus US troops in Europe to help with this operation.

There is chatter on the net about a shutdown of social media and MSM platforms coming for 10 days…April 1-10…this will be a global shutdown and the only thing on TV will be from the Emergency Broadcast System, which will be explaining the world elites crimes, who is being arrested, potentially footage of military tribunals which will be processing the arrested (No appeals).

It is expected that this will be ongoing for the 10 days of darkness and includes world leaders and senior government officials, The Vatican, The Royals, Many Uber wealthy deep state players, celebrities, etc.…

Time will tell if this is in fact true and allowances must be made for deep state counter moves that could interfere with the timing…

Canada will be saved from the globalists by the domino effect (Trudeau has already been indicted and charged with crimes against Humanity and is currently under house arrest) and we will need to completely redo our own style of government very soon. I am not sure how that will play out.

The next real danger to Canada, and this will not be removed by Trumps efforts, are all the agents of Islam now embedded into our country, some will be gone through this war but some will remain.

Once we have restored our sovereignty and have a Nationalist government once again we can shift focus to removing Islam from Canada.

Finally, and the announcement of the gun ban by the federal government resulted in this missive on May 4:

Trudeau is doubling down on the announced gun ban after what appears to be a false flag mass shooting event in Nova Scotia. (False flag does not mean no one was harmed…it means the event is being used to further a political agenda). There is no valid reason for the gun ban and it does not include the Indigenous so it is also discriminatory. Trudeau and Blair say these guns are NOT used for hunting, and then exempt the natives because they ARE used for hunting. An Oxymoron if there ever was one. I am advocating everyone stockpile as many firearms and ammo as they are able and NOT COMPLY. If you know of anyone thinking about turning their firearms in to the government, suggest that they would be better served in the hands of Patriots instead…

There are reports of “UN” patrols now going door to door in Lac Laloche Sakatchewan, supposedly checking for infected people. Apparently these “Patrols” are made up of new immigrants and are wearing uniforms. Are they planning to remove any suspected cases out of their homes and into camps? All for the “Public Health and Safety?”…Hmmm?...

Many, many Patriots are frustrated and wishing to do more than sit and watch. The time to rise and act is upon us. Resist all govt mandates. 

The QAnon and gun control conspiracies have recently become increasingly relevant. On July 1, 2020 a protest occurred on Parliament Hill in which anti-government QAnon supporters and anti-gun control advocated urged the American government to charge Justin Trudeau with a nebulous list of crimes ranging from treason to being part of an international satanic pedophile ring. Included in this group were some Northern Guard supporters. On June 2 a active reservist ran through the gates of Rideau Hall with his truck. Armed with numerous weapons he was soon taken into custody. His target appears to have been the Prime Minister and his social media indicated he was also influenced by the QAnon conspiracy cult. 

In August NG leader Nick Gallant started a new project linked to QAnon:



A feature of QAnon is the belief that a cabal of powerful individuals in government, business, and entertainment associated with progressive politics are secretly Satanic pedophiles and cannibals who rule the world and that Donald Trump is waging a secret war to save children and eliminate this perceived evil forever. Those who subscribe the the QAnon conspiracy believe that this cabal is mocking the good people of society by displaying the symbols of their depravity out in the open for all to see; those who are able to decipher "Q drops" are able to discern the symbolism for what it is, at least if you are a devout adherent of QAnon who are so divorced from reality that they can't see a pizza and think of it as anything other than a symbol for ritual child abuse. Gallant's M.A.P.P is no exception and if you argue that perhaps a shirt with sharks and pizza on is JUST a shirt with sharks and pizza because kids like both sharks and pizza then you are implicated in the conspiracy as well:











Recently there have been actions that have been taking place offline as yesterday members of the Northern Guard and Soldiers of Odin protested in Collingwood, Ontario demanding access to the provincial sex offender registry (which isn't something that the mayor of the city could grant even if he wished to):

Mystified by downtown storefronts and light traffic?

And Gallant has started another group whose aim appear to be focused on hunting for people they believe to be pedophiles, whether that characterization is warranted or not:


In looking at the content of his posts on the subject of child sexual abuse and trafficking however one wonders if Gallant and the Northern Guard (as well as the Soldiers of Odin, Yellow Vests Canada, and the host of other far-right groups who have taken up the cause) isn't simply jumping on the bandwagon both as a means of virtue signaling as well as engaging in ad hominem slurs against his enemies real and perceived since there are few accusations worse in our society than being accused of being a child molester.

For instance, when we were critical of Gallant and M.A.P.P. for perpetuating conspiracy theories and encouraging vigilantism, his reaction was make the baseless accusation that us and the founder of this blog must be child molesters who should be killed. He and another individual then engaged in friendly banter in which it was posited that the founder of this blog be raped which further calls into question his claim to be opposing sexual violence:


And, if there was any question regarding the ideology informing the Northern Guard's and other far-right groups' current fixation, this should put that to bed:

Child abuse and sexual violence are legitimate problems that need to be addressed much more vigourously, but claiming to do so by disseminating on ridiculous conspiracy theories and esoteric readings of mundane things as having symbolic meaning is doing real damage to that effort. Actual organizations who combat child sex abuse and trafficking are not at all surprisingly upset their work being is being hijacked by QAnon conspiracy adherents and extremists such as the Northern Guard:

The conspiracy theory and cult movement known as QAnon is attempting to hijack the good names of organizations leading the fight against child sexual abuse and sex trafficking. We cannot let this happen.

QAnon followers preach that a cabal of powerful people within government, business, academia and media are seeking world domination while engaging in child sex trafficking, pedophilia, cannibalism, and satanic sacrifice. To advance their agenda, QAnon followers have adopted a propaganda tactic that demands an immediate response from all of us in the field.

QAnon promoters are parasites. To grow their footprint, gain credibility, and spread misinformation, they associate their message of hate and bigotry with well-known, well-regarded organizations—specifically those working to end child sexual abuse and sex trafficking. That strategy threatens to diminish our identities, tarnish our reputations and harm our good works.

The problem is deepening. Many of our supporters are unknowingly re-distributing QAnon messages embedded within posts that appear to be straightforward statements against pedophilia and trafficking. We must speak out strongly against this. Just as education is the most powerful means we have to prevent child sex abuse and trafficking, education will be our most powerful weapon against the threat QAnon presents. All of us working in the field must join together and speak out loudly.

To learn more about QAnon and its attempt to co-opt our good works and organizations, visit the links below.

While the Northern Guard is growing and presents a real danger to communities based on many other members and supporters eagerness to engage in acts of violence, it is also subject to the same personality conflicts that have resulted in the collapse of other groups including the SoO. There have been a number of individuals who have had acrimonious splits with both the national chapter as well as some of the provincial chapters (the Alberta chapter has seen two schisms resulting in the formation of a new group within a year). They also recently engaged in a feud with a Calgary based hate group, the Urban Infidels, that is trying to spread across Canada in part by poaching Northern Guard member; ironically the Urban Infidels were started by an individual who broke with the Calgary chapter of the SoO less than a year ago.

More Overt Racism In Calgary Soldiers of Odin Chapter

On August 29 two rallies took place in the city of Calgary. One was a BLM/Defund the Police rally at city hall which, despite attempts to harass and antagonize the participants by Jeff Clayton, Proud Boys, members of the tiny (and ridiculously named) Woke Onez Rebellion, and others, went off without a hitch.

Elsewhere in the city the local contingent of Yellow Vesters held their weekly rally which has over the course of several months morphed into what is for all intents and purposes a QAnon and anti-mask rally flavoured with an unhealthy dose of anti-immigrant rhetoric.



Among this group were members of the Calgary and Central Alberta chapters of the Soldiers of Odin.


As a brief aside I have never really understood why groups like the SoO, Northern Guard, Urban Infidels, or any of the other quasi-biker, anti-immigrant, militias think they look cool being photographed from behind like this. These photos always make them look like they have inadvertently stumbled across something that has totally befuddled them.


See what I mean? Sean Telford (Central Alberta SoO leader) here probably believes he looks like a sentinel, stoically standing on guard against threats both foreign and domestic.

I see someone who is confused as to why there is a body of water in front of him.

Or perhaps someone who is just bewildered by the CONCEPT of water in which case, as it can exist as a solid, liquid, and gas, fair point.

We haven't written much about the SoO since the departure of our blog's founder in January mainly because it really is spent force. Most of the former SoO members appear to have found themselves drifting into other similar leather vest fetish groups, the most significant being the Northern Guard with a number of lesser groups containing a handful of members. Alberta however is sort of a special case as the SoO out of Calgary and Central Alberta (Red Deer) are still quite active.

Confused by windows and LED lights?
Perplexed by windows and LED lights?

As such we thought we would take a quick look at some of the key figures in the Calgary and Central Alberta groups to determine if they are indeed the civic-minded folk they claim they are.

The original president of the Calgary chapter of the SoO was this fella.

Given that the SoO had been founded by an overt Finnish neo-Nazi and the Calgary chapter confirmed their allegiance to the Finnish mother chapter what was learned about Dale Caldwell from a quick look at both his Facebook and original VK profiles wasn't in the least surprising.

Suffice it to say he isn't a fan of ARC.


Caldwell doesn't appear to be especially active with the SoO these days so his status as the leader is up in their air, however he appears to be friendly with current members of the gang including the then vice-president and seemingly current defacto leader of the gang Terry Lefranc.


Lefranc too has a VK profile where he is much more overt in his beliefs.


Another member of the Calgary SoO is Daniel Loree.

Stupefied by fences.
Stumped by mountains.
Discombobulated by urinals
Loree with former SoO members, now Urban Infidels, Steven Lane and Al Bitz

He too is much more open on VK.



Now we've made a point of highlighting the VK groups that these three are members of. For example Loree is a member of this group.


Really subtle.

All three men are members of this group.



There is a fourth member of the Calgary SoO who should also be mentioned here, though it looks like she is moving to Edmonton (if she isn't there already).

Flummoxed by small crowds.


Puzzled by still ponds.

I could go on all day.

Sheila is Terry Lefranc's partner, or rather she was his partner. At least that is our reading of her posts.

A few years ago she posted the following missive complaining about people who believe the SoO and, by extension, herself is a racist group (which, by the way, it clearly is).


She too has a VK profile and, while not as overt as Caldwell, Lefranc, and Loree, is still telling.



The Canadian Nationalists group which is now defunct was a project of Kevin Goudreau.


As for the NPD, that's this German political party.

Germany’s National Democratic Party (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands or NPD) is a far-right political party that advocates racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Muslim views. According to the German intelligence service, the NPD rejects the concept of liberal democracy. The NPD is hostile towards both the United States and Israel. The party is opposed to multiculturalism and is concerned about the “foreign infiltration” (Ãœberfremdung) of Germany, namely the perceived Americanization and Islamization of German society. The NPD considers the presence of immigrants in Germany—regardless of whether they hold German citizenship—to be an attack on the German ethnic community (Volksgemeinschaft) and advocates deporting immigrants to their respective countries of origin.


Now in a future article we'll be looking at other chapters of the SoO in Alberta, but we think we've managed to do a good job framing the group so we'll save all that for later.
