So.. tomorrow in #Ottawa, Maxime Bernier will headline a rally against the UN migration compact. The rally is hosted by a bunch of fringe far-right groups that promote anti-Islam, anti-Soros, & 'white genocide' conspiracy theories. Let's take a quick look: #cdnpoli #ppcpic.twitter.com/X4Z6Sprkzv
Organizer 1: CitizenGO Canada creates rightwing petitions. It currently has a petition calling on Trudeau to hold a referendum on signing the UN migrant compact, saying it is pushed by "Soros" and "globalist elites" to gain "global control." These are classic anti-semitic tropes.pic.twitter.com/qbYoAXbzov
Organizer 2: Canadian Coalition for Responsible Government. Total conspiracy theorists who hold anti-Soros events, say the UN compact is an "evil document" and a "plan" to move "massive amounts of migrants," share content from white supremacists Faith Goldy and Stefan Molyneux.pic.twitter.com/lBrulgpeU5
Organizer 3: Canadian Coalition of Concerned Citizens. This group is calling for the death penalty for the "traitor" Justin Trudeau, shares "white genocide in South Africa" memes and saying "Coming to Canada Soon," says "globalists" are "pedophiles," shares white nationalists...pic.twitter.com/LqKBlXjdQA
Organizer 4: ACT! FOR CANADA. Anti-Islam group with apparent ties to white supremacist Richard Spencer, shares "white genocide in South Africa" conspiracy theories with direct implication that if whites become a minority in Canada they will be murdered (this is very racist).pic.twitter.com/uqwX7E1Q6s
Oh right, and Maxime Bernier will be sharing the stage with Tom Quiggan, the author of "SUBMISSION: The Danger of Political Islam to Canada," who last year claimed that the Quebec City mosque was targeted because it was giving money to terrorists #cdnpolihttps://pressprogress.ca/manning_centre_hosts_bonkers_panel_claiming_quebec_city_mosque_was_actually_helping_terrorists/ …
And of course, the @CPC_HQ is fuelling exactly the same hateful conspiracy theories. The difference is that unlike Bernier, @AndrewScheer is unwilling to be seen in public with the very people he is taking his messaging from #cdnpolihttps://twitter.com/mbueckert/status/1070806699919912960 …
Correction: I wrote that ACT for Canada is tied to Richard Spencer, but the website actually appears to reference Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer. Extremely hateful man, surely, but not a neo-Nazi. Apologies!
According to @AgainstFash613, far-right groups incl. La Meute & Storm Alliance will also be in #Ottawa tomorrow to protest the UN global compact. At least 1 organizer is also behind the event @MaximeBernier is headlining -- or is it the same event? https://www.facebook.com/notes/ottawa-against-fascism/who-is-coming-to-ottawa-on-december-8th/2187942994813358/ …pic.twitter.com/MwjxVagmBE
Oh shit, yeah. This is the same event. @MaximeBernier is set to headline an event co-organized by Storm Alliance, an anti-immigration group that broke away from Soldiers of Odin. Eric Trudel is the head of Storm Alliance. https://montreal-antifasciste.info/en/2017/09/13/storm-alliance-factsheet/ …pic.twitter.com/dS2avT9MaF
More from @antihateca about the event tomorrow that @MaximeBernier is headlining. Organizers include III%ers (armed militia) and other far right groups with neo-Nazi ties #cdnpoli https://www.antihate.ca/large_coalition_of_far_right_anti_muslim_groups_in_ottawa_this_weekend?fbclid=IwAR0q_qlxq98Ah0LIJy-Du9pO5YVeCwyvW5Yotsk30mXujhCQ036N_HitJsE …pic.twitter.com/DOPgviNxe3
The Carleton University chapter of Maxime Bernier's @peoplespca has endorsed and will be attending tomorrow's event, which is organized by Storm Alliance, Northern Guard, III%ers, Canadian Coalition of Concerned Citizens, Le Meute, and other right-wing extremist groups #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/m6ILH6CN1H
The anti-migrant rally is happening now, follow @Justin_Ling for reporting from the scene. No sign of Bernier yet, apparently, although he e-mailed his supporters he'd be in attendance, and he's considered a "confirmed guest" by organizers as of yesterdayhttps://twitter.com/Justin_Ling/status/1071442469227782145 …
Bernier didn't show after all, despite previous promises to organizers and PPC supporters. The Carleton University PPC chapter said they were going. Despite the no-show, he hasn't distanced himself from extremist organizers & must be confronted about ithttps://twitter.com/Justin_Ling/status/1071444052791353344 …
Here's the Carleton University chapter of @MaximeBernier's @peoplespca, joining their compatriots La Meute, Storm Alliance, Northern Guard, III%s, and a host of fringe racist, anti-semitic, and extremist far-right organizations. #ppc #ppc2019 #cdnpoli #ottawa #onpolipic.twitter.com/M9YKW4pWrk
For what its worth, a PPC field organizer was very recently assuring supporters that both Maxime Bernier and the PPC's Executive Director would be attending today's anti-migrant rally in Ottawa, & clearly the PPC base strongly supports these rallies.pic.twitter.com/ol2JP24pXu
"WHITE PRIDE", fascist militia, La Meute, ID Canada, ... that's quite some protest that you have endorsed, @MaximeBernier @peoplespca #cdnpoli #ottawapic.twitter.com/jEt0pWHb6c
More from @ARCCollective on the fascists who showed up today to hear @MaximeBernier speak, who must be disappointed he didn't showhttps://twitter.com/ARCCollective/status/1071503335969087488 …
Update: Bernier's team tells Post Millennial that he decided not to speak at the rally because he feared it could get violent. The wording makes it sound like he's talking about Antifa, and not the 15 extremist groups that organized today's event #cdnpoli https://www.thepostmillennial.com/antifa-violence-breaks-out-at-ottawa-protest-against-global-compact-for-migration/ …pic.twitter.com/vIgHzBsPdL
To sum up: Maxime Bernier agreed to speak at an event organized by 15 far-right extremist organizations, told his supporters he would attend, and then at the last minute dropped out with no explanation. Without a condemnation, his stance continues to be endorsement of the event.
Here's @peoplespca at the anti-migration rally in Toronto, chatting with Free Bird Media (which has recently posted interviews with white nationalist Faith Goldy, neo-Nazi Richard Spencer, and James Sears of the banned Nazi magazine Your Ward News).

Btw, the @peoplespca official in the previous tweet (EDA interim president for Etobicoke Centre) was also a campaign worker for white nationalist and neo-Nazi sympathizer Faith Goldy h/t @AlliRothbergpic.twitter.com/U0KRvXCndO
Remember how Maxime Bernier bailed on that anti-UN rally hosted by 15 fringe extremist groups, including Storm Alliance & La Meute?
He didn’t distance himself from them. According to a speaker, Bernier “sent his regrets,” “He knows that he’s got a lot of fans here.” #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/RK071kpb7m
