Last month we saw Faith Goldy and roughly 40 alt-right (including ID Canada) supporters hold a protest opposing Canada signing the UN Migration Compact. Today in Ottawa was another anti-migrant rally which also features a whose who of racist and Islamophobic groups including La Meute, Storm Alliance, III% militia, Northern Guard and speakers such as Thomas Quiggin.

Also amongst this group was to have been former Conservative Party of Canada leadership hopeful and now leader of the breakaway PCC Maxime Bernier who has made opposition to immigration and multiculturalism key components of his far-right party's identity:
Il paraît que @MaximeBernier sera avec la panoplie de groupes far right a #Ottawa demain.#FuckOffRacists#cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/DuPtACpSpE — JAKearn (@lingerence) December 7, 2018
The bigots who have been profiled on ARC have been drawn to Bernier like a moth to a flame since he left the Conservative Party (which appears to have been pulled even further right in an effort to draw those supporters back) since Bernier left to form the PCC. He seems to be very comfortable associating with these groups:
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 #ppc pic.twitter.com/X4Z6Sprkzv — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 7, 2018
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 — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 7, 2018
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 — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 7, 2018
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 — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 7, 2018
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 — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 7, 2018
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 #cdnpoli https://t.co/TEA4c7oZ0Y — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 7, 2018

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! — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 7, 2018
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://t.co/faqtdbXeOk pic.twitter.com/MwjxVagmBE — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
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://t.co/1fBk9UdnDk pic.twitter.com/dS2avT9MaF — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
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://t.co/BNGVibd7uO pic.twitter.com/DOPgviNxe3 — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
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 #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/m6ILH6CN1H — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
Who wants to tell him? pic.twitter.com/utUcIq9nTS — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
On the day of the event however, Bernier seems to have conveniently found a scheduling conflict:
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 yesterday  https://t.co/8uBkWLVT19 — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
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 it https://t.co/ilJxVMT6vb — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
His university fan club however did show up:
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 #onpoli pic.twitter.com/M9YKW4pWrk — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
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 — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018
"WHITE PRIDE", fascist militia, La Meute, ID Canada, ... that's quite some protest that you have endorsed, @MaximeBernier @peoplespca #cdnpoli #ottawa pic.twitter.com/jEt0pWHb6c — Michael Bueckert (@mbueckert) December 8, 2018

Justin Ling attended the event and reported as follows:
I'm in Ottawa this morning, where a demonstration is planned for 11 to protest Canada's signing of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Opposition has been growing to the compact, including from the Conservatives and Maxime Bernier. They've contended it'd sacrifice Canadian sovereignty on the issue — it doesn't. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
"The GCM is a voluntary, non-binding document that introduces no additional obligations to states." https://t.co/xm2od3jL87 — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Here's the scene. Maybe 200-300 people, and a small army of cops. pic.twitter.com/WyCBqMhNCm — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
A guy in a security hat stopped me — realized pretty quick he wasn't with the RCMP.
"Who are you with?" He asks
"Who are YOU with?" I reply
"We're with La Meute."
And so I walked away. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Plenty of gilet jaunts — yellow safety vests. Folks obviously taking their inspiration from the Paris protests. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Lots of La Meute vests and signs. (Even a La Meute drawstring bag! There's money in memorabilia, evidently.) Spotted one makeshift Q-Anon placard, so that's literally a bad sign. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
There's lots of "security" here — protesters playing dress-up in fatigues. pic.twitter.com/qrIA0yRzya — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
I went to go check out the antifa contingent but they just headed away from Parliament Hill so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Oh, heard my first reference to having "our laws imposed on us by the global banking elite."

So if you're playing the home version, fill in the "barely coded antisemitism" square. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Some of the alt right types thought Maxime Bernier was gonna show, but I don't see him. And I'm not sure this is the crowd any politician would wanna be in. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
The U.S. embassy warned folks of 1,000 protesters. lol. Nowhere near that number. pic.twitter.com/4U4qnCqP7X — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Some of the "security" brought their own ziptie handcuffs. Would love to see the actual security reaction if they tried to use it on anyone. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Oh so Maxime Bernier emailed supporters this week saying he'd be attending this rally. But I don't see him. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Here's the full crowd. Speaker says Trudeau is a "traitor," then there was some conspiracy stuff about locking up critics and the "globalist elite." pic.twitter.com/wKBSJy5qtT — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018

Tom Quiggin is here. He's the self-styled security research behind this: https://t.co/plvsEx7siu — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018

I'm officially bored. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Seems I'm not the only one. People are slowly filtering away as Quiggin continues his speech (which went, suffice it to say, wide.) Still maybe 200ish here. (At max it was 350 or so.) — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
There's some dude from Denmark speaking. I think he was introduced as a rep from the far-right Danish People's Party. So that's fun. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
He's talking about "no go zones" in Sweden. So definitely a quack. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Oh, I put it together. He's Rasmus Paludan, head of upstart ethnonationlist party Stram Kurs. He's saying lots of very stupidly Islamophobic things. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
The current speaker, who I think is a rep from LA Meute, is managing to tie together the migration compact with the media bailout with M-103 and about a half-dozen other greatest hits. — Justin Ling (@Justin_Ling) December 8, 2018
Looking through the social media pages of the folks covered here, I find the following. First a video by Travis Patron of the neo-fascist Nationalist Party of Canada and accompanying comments:

[Video] [Image]
The Dan Dubois of the Canadian Combat Coalition reposted one of Patron's videos to their group:

Just to get a flavor of what these folks are about for any new readers, these following screen shots should prove instructive:

[Image] [Image]
The Northern Guard and former Proud Boy member Robert Jones chimed in with their thoughtful critique of the Anti-Hate Canada article discussing the events planned for today:

[Image]
Also, Canadian Combat Coalition supporter, Northern Guard supporter, and QAnon conspiracy nutbar Duke Willis who attended the Ottawa protest and uploaded a video"

[Video]
It also looks like there are other anti-migrant protests in both Toronto and Calgary, though there appears to be no more than a couple of dozen individuals participating in each; Steven Myatt is involved in the one in Calgary where he now lives and Ron Banerjee is in Toronto.

Here's Banerjee leading a chant to "lock [Trudeau] up":

[Video]

Here is a brief video of Calgary. Note the Soldiers of Odin are present. The claim that there are over 100 people appears to be exaggerated:

[Video]
The III% militia in Alberta also commented on the Anti-Hate Canada article, some making not so veiled threats:

[Image]
The leader of a fringe Alberta separatist party, Dave Bjorkman who was part of the story involving Soldiers of Odin members attending a United Conservative Party event (see here and here) claims to be one of the organizers for an anti-migrant event in Edmonton as well. In the first video Bjorkman suggests that the UCP are involved in the rally as well:
