RCMP Arrest Two Men Linked to Neo-Nazi Activities


The RCMP has arrested and charged two Ontario men in connection with neo-Nazi terrorism activities in Canada.

The arrests follow an 18-month investigation that included the execution of several search warrants in the Niagara and Toronto regions, the RCMP said in a Dec. 8 news release.

Police say the men helped create recruitment videos and manifestos for far-right extremist groups and neo-Nazi terrorists.

The men are alleged to be connected with the Terrogram Collective and Atomwaffen Division (AWD), which is a group listed on Canada’s terrorist watchlist.

“The group calls for acts of violence against racial, religious, and ethnic groups, and informants, police, and bureaucrats, to prompt the collapse of society,” the government said.

The government website says that members of AWD are known to have been involved in violent acts at public rallies.

“In July 2019, the co-leader of AWD, an American citizen, was banned from Canada by the Immigration and Refugee Board after it was determined that he was a member of an organization that has or will engage in terrorist activities.”

AWD members have ties to a group known as the Hammerskins in the Durham region, police said.

Police say that after the group was put on the terror watchlist, some members joined the Active Club Canada, which is connected through a network of chapters in various U.S. states and other countries.

The network “promotes mixed martial arts to fight against what it asserts is a system that is targeting the white race, as well as a ‘warrior spirit’ to prepare for a forthcoming race war,” the release said.

Police said that the Terrogram Collective is a group of Telegram channels, a messaging app, that share “neo-fascist ideology and that produce and share manuals on how to carry out racially-motivated violence.”

Both men have been criminally charged with participating in the activities of a terrorist group. One of the men has also been charged with four additional terrorist-related offenses.

RCMP said both men made a court appearance on Dec. 6 and have been held for bail hearings.

The Epoch Times reached out to the RCMP but did not hear back by publication time.
