Cats sleeping with dogs! Nazis training with POC! CBC tracks Canada’s fascist fight clubs

In public parks, gyms and martial arts clubs — where children take classes — some of Canada’s most notorious white supremacists are preparing for violence.

The members of these fight clubs, known in white nationalist communities as “active clubs,” are hiding in plain sight. As part of their recruitment and online propaganda, they post videos of their training sessions, taking care to hide their faces and obscure their locations.

But a months-long CBC visual investigation, in collaboration with The Fifth Estate, reveals exactly where some of these groups are training.

‘This is not me’: Trump denies writing ‘lewd birthday letter’ to Epstein

Donald Trump reportedly told Jeffrey Epstein they had “certain things in common” in a birthday letter featuring a drawing of a naked woman.

The document was included in a leather-bound album by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, which was later examined by justice department officials investigating the paedophile financier, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Mr Trump’s letter to Epstein is said to be typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman which has been drawn in permanent marker. His signature is reportedly positioned below her waist, mimicking her pubic hair.

The Trudeau government’s spending splurges — less than Bank of Canada interest rate policies — were largely responsible for soaring inflation during the pandemic, a new report has concluded.

The report, conducted by two economists at the C.D. Howe Institute, points the finger at Ottawa’s unfunded spending spree that acted as “helicopter drops” of money for the private sector.

Talking freely about Islam ‘feared more than any other religion’

People are more fearful of speaking freely about Islam than any other religion, a survey has found.

Almost twice as many adults feel they have to hold back on expressing their views about the faith as they do for Christianity, according to research by the Commission for Countering Extremism (CCE), which advises the Government.

The study, to be published on Thursday, also found that Islam was the only religion which more people felt was protected “too much” rather than “too little”.
