The leaders of the country’s biggest white nationalist group believe that “the Nazis were right,” that a violent “race war” for Canada’s future is underway and that non-white people should be deported en masse “at gunpoint,” according to an analysis by the CBC’s visual investigations unit. Second Sons Canada calls itself a “men’s nationalist club” dedicated to “health and fitness, camaraderie, activism and friendly support for those who share our values.” Official posts on Instagram, Facebook, Telegram and X show men gathering to train or to demonstrate, promoting the slogan “remigration now” and celebrating veterans and Canadian history.

Richard Moon, an expert in Canadian speech laws and professor emeritus of law at the University of Windsor, told CBC that several of the statements in these podcasts and livestreams would constitute hate speech under Canada’s Criminal Code. Steven Rai, a digital research analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, says the difference between the group's social media posts and the statements in its podcasts is calculated. “This is a very deliberate strategy on their part to draw a broader range of supporters into the movement,” said Rai.
