Hard Pass

The extent of Canada’s problem with far-right extremism stared me in the face on an ordinary Wednesday night.

I turned to leave a small music venue where my boyfriend had just wrapped up performing. That’s when I saw two men were standing between me and the exit, staring intensely.

I recognized them: they were Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald and Giulio Zardo, two members of the white nationalist active club that I had just unmasked in a piece published with The Tyee the day before. In social media posts, Beauvais-MacDonald has openly called himself a Nazi. He’s loud and proud about his hateful views, regularly posting videos from public places in T-shirts adorned with images of Adolf Hitler and other Nazi-era imagery.

In the photos I took of Beauvais-MacDonald that night, you can see that he’s wearing a pin with the Totenkopf skull — a symbol associated with neo-Nazis.

“Compared to other countries, Canada appears to have a disproportionate number of Active Clubs, with more than 30 of the nearly 200 known global chapters existing in Canada,” the report notes.

Disclaimer: I pretty much don't like Rust, but most criticism of it boils down to culture war.

“These systems help us sift through vast amounts of data in seconds so our leaders can cut through the noise and make smarter decisions faster than the enemy can react. Humans will always make final decisions on what to shoot and what not to shoot and when to shoot. But advanced AI tools can turn processes that used to take hours and sometimes even days into seconds,” Cooper added.
