"Members of the Canadian Armed Forces had accounts on a white-only dating site that promoted white supremacist ideology, a CBC News visual investigation found."
CBC's angle on the story CAHN broke this morning, with more names and specifics.
Really appreciate this from CAJ:
Late last year, a white supremacist dating platform was hacked and its users leaked. One of those users is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who CAHN has linked to thousands of posts made on far-right forums between 2019 and 2024.

Trump is not a man remotely bothered by mass death. He simply does not care. Again, such insouciance might not be new when it comes to Americaβs thirst for war.
But carrying it so openly and inelegantly is something else entirely.
A lot of AI researchers spent countless years debating the ethics of autonomous killing by AI and not nearly enough on AI assisted targeting for bombing campaigns. The atrocities are even worse. Over 100 dead school girls based on outdated maps and data.
The master race, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm trying to imagine the conversations they had on the way over, how this was going to go SO GREAT and she'd be TOTALLY SCARED and never say anything mean about them again.
Because they're big serious boys.
Oooooh theyβre not taking this investigation well at all.
Maybe if youβre ashamed and enraged when the things you and your friends say and do are made public, you shouldnβt say and do said things?

The ongoing saga of Const. Renato Greco, an officer in the Hamilton Police Service and, apparently, an active white supremacist.
Not a great look for HPS, especially considering the rise of violent neo-fascist extremist groups in the region.

Meet Canadian Olympic bobsledder & neo-Nazi active club coach Giulio Zardo, who just lost his job because he got caught training race war zealots at his employer's gym after hours.
Does anyone actually know why weβ¦ya knowβ¦started a WAR IN IRAN?!
Someday, somewhere, someone will say to a child "Grandpa got that scar during the Epstein War."
Horrifying
Have heard from an Iranian friend that her partner in Teheran has sent her a message. He is a leftist and is telling her that the US/Israelis are targeting a number of known leftists homes in Teheran and elsewhere in an attempt to make sure there's no opposition to their favoured candidate once they destroy the regime. What this reveals is the degree of penetration by Mossad in Iran. What it also means is that this is not going to be an easy occupation for the US and its Israeli buddies.
βLiberation,β American-style.
ηιͺ Office of the Prime Minister Cabinet du Premier Ministre Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East "The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions. Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September. Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people. Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security. The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

βCanada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.β
Well. For those of us wondering if heβd walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.
Nope.
In case youβre just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
We've been seeing a lot of this in the Niagara - local fascists opportunistically seizing on a high-profile crime to push their organizations.
I despise people who abuse children... but I also don't think too highly of those who'll insert themselves into a family's tragedy just to build a brand.
The Hamilton Police Service doing a fantastic job at
"zero tolerance for conduct eroding public trust calling their commitment to equitable policing into question."
#Sarcasm aside, I am unsurprised: Police in Ontario have no real accountability and HPS is one of the worst examples of the problem.
Yeah, this is why I didn't bother. 107 minutes of lies, gaslighting, racism and incoherence. I had better things to do, like trying to figure out why they added that post-credits scene to A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms (seriously, it added no value and spiked a major plot point from the novellas.)
personally if I were sitting behind a man proclaiming that my entire job was meaningless and my power was as dust in his eyes I would not smile and clap and nod and stand but that is one of many ways Mike Johnson and I are different
We all know why they have no problem with some kinds of immigrants but want to harm other kinds.
"Folk Family Future" is an explicitly white supremacist motto.
Mealy-mouthed substitute terms like "remigration" are just an attempt to make "ethnic cleansing" sound more acceptable to the public.
As always, the important work done by groups like @antihate.ca exposing these people is worth supporting.
Fascism thrives in darkness so it cannot abide being exposed and brought to light... which is one reason these cowards hide their faces.
CBC did a dive into these "active clubs" last year and its pretty clear that these people are planning violence. These fast banner-drop-and-disperse actions aren't just intimidation, they're training.
Soon it won't be just waving flags, it will be trashing an LGBTQ+ bookstore. Or a mosque.
Those dismissing this with "well, they have the right to gather" are missing the point: The fascists are explicitly preparing for violence against minorities, especially racialized and queer people.
Simply declaring "hate has no place in #HamOnt" doesn't actually do anything to address the threat.
And once again the police and mayor wring their hands and bleat about "hate having no place in #HamOnt" and then do absolutely nothing about the problem.
These same scum in their masks and banners in front of City Hall in daylight are the one assaulting LGBTQ+ people on the streets after dark.
Screenshot of a tweet from a verified account reading, βOh look more violent trans terrorism,β quoting another verified commentary account. The quoted post claims that a person named Austin Tucker, who was reportedly shot and killed while trying to breach Mar-a-Lago with a gun, was discovered to be transgender after social media accounts were uncovered and then deleted. Below the text are two side-by-side mirror selfies of a long-haired individualβone wearing a white sleeveless shirt and jeans, the other shirtless in a bathroom. A large red X is drawn across the entire image with the word βFalseβ in bold red letters over the photos, indicating the claim is false.
It's just like this now. Every single shooting that happens gets blamed on trans people. It spreads like wildfire even when it's a blatant lie.
Was just at Sankofa Square in Toronto to counter demonstrate against the anti-immigrant Canada First group. Important to remember these are proven white supremacist, and their ideology is dangerous and stupid, but also these wannabe alpha guys just look like total dork ass losers. 1/2
