Finally a political organization dedicated to defending Canada’s white founding peoples.
“Overall, SSC represents a shift toward more structured, youth-oriented far-right organizing in Canada, blending online propaganda with real-world mobilization. Its rapid expansion amid political tensions underscores ongoing debates about extremism in the country.”

Overview
Second Sons Canada (SSC) is a men’s-only organization described by experts and media as a white nationalist group operating in Canada. It promotes a blend of white nationalism and Canadian nationalism, often framing its activities around protecting “traditional” Canadian identity against immigration and perceived cultural threats.
The group uses fitness and martial arts training as a recruitment tool, but its rhetoric and actions have raised alarms about extremism, including calls for violence and ethnic cleansing. SSC is part of a broader decentralized white supremacist network in Canada and internationally.
History and Founding
SSC was founded in 2024 by Jeremy MacKenzie, a former Canadian Armed Forces veteran and far-right activist known for his podcast and the creation of Diagolon, an alt-right organization labeled an “extremist, militia-like” group by the RCMP.

MacKenzie, one of Canada’s youngest highly decorated veterans, has a history of controversial activism, including opposition to figures like Omar Khadr and staged protests at cenotaphs that drew criticism from politicians.
Alex Vriend serves as deputy leader. The group launched publicly in 2025 and has grown rapidly, claiming over 2,000 sign-ups in October 2025 alone, with chapters in every province.SSC draws inspiration from the “Active Clubs” model, a global network of white nationalist fitness groups started around 2017 by neo-Nazis like American Robert Rundo (of the Rise Above Movement) and a Russian associate.
These clubs disguise racist ideologies behind a facade of male bonding through workouts and combat sports, and SSC operates similarly, requiring prospective members to pass physical tests, background checks, and group activities for full membership.
Ideology and Structure
At its core, SSC espouses white supremacist ideals, including anti-immigrant and antisemitic themes, with some members using neo-Nazi iconography like the Totenkopf (SS death’s head symbol).
Their slogan, “All thy sons,” is a reference to the Canadian national anthem, emphasizing a vision of Canada as a white ethnostate. They view the current political order as corrupt and anticipate its violent overthrow to create a “white-focused society.”
Violence is glorified as essential for “defending the movement, attacking opponents, and ethnically cleansing Canada.”The group functions hierarchically, with MacKenzie at the top, and emphasizes physical preparedness through:Weightlifting and sparring.
Mixed martial arts (MMA) training.
Military-style drills led by veterans.
SSC is the militant branch of a tripartite white nationalist network:Propaganda arm: Diagolon, focused on online memes and media.
Political arm: Dominion Society of Canada, handling electoral and advocacy efforts.
Militant arm: SSC itself, with overlaps to Active Clubs like Frontenac Active Club (which merged with SSC in October 2025).
This network is described as “the largest white nationalist network in Canadian history,” with deep ties to U.S. groups like Patriot Front.
Activities
SSC’s public activities blend symbolic protests with paramilitary-style displays:Training: Gym-based sessions across Canada, often in masks and sunglasses for anonymity.
Rallies and Protests:August 30, 2025: First public event at Brock’s Monument in Queenston Heights Park, Niagara, with over 50 masked participants carrying a modified Red Ensign flag (Canada’s pre-1965 colonial flag, revered by white nationalists as the “true” symbol of the nation).
September 2025: Rally in Niagara Falls, attended by about 60 members from SSC and allied Active Clubs, without notifying local authorities.
October 26, 2025: Simultaneous protests at CBC headquarters in Ottawa and Regina, with ~40 masked demonstrators chanting “Canada first” and holding banners like “CBC hates White people” to decry alleged media bias.
November 1, 2025: Further anti-CBC demonstrations in two unnamed cities, drawing around 100 participants total.
The group recruits via social media and emphasizes nationwide presence, including in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Saskatchewan. Some supporters on platforms like X portray it as a patriotic “Canadian men’s nationalist club” open to diverse members (e.g., Indigenous and Black Canadians) focused on national defense, rather than explicit racism.
Controversies and Connections
SSC has faced widespread condemnation for promoting hate and extremism. Local officials in Niagara called their rallies “hate-promoting,” and anti-hate groups warn of its role in normalizing violence.
A major concern is infiltration: Members include active and retired Canadian Armed Forces personnel (many with “war medals,” per MacKenzie), RCMP officers, and police. In August 2025, a Hamilton Police constable was suspended for publicly supporting SSC on social media.
Critics link SSC to a surge in organized white nationalism in Canada, with 187 Active Clubs worldwide and growing domestic ties to neo-Nazi and anti-immigrant networks. While some online defenders reject the “white supremacist” label–claiming it’s a smear by “foreign-funded” watchdogs like the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN)–mainstream analyses from sources like CBC and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue describe it as “virulent white supremacism” hidden behind fitness culture.
Overall, SSC represents a shift toward more structured, youth-oriented far-right organizing in Canada, blending online propaganda with real-world mobilization. Its rapid expansion amid political tensions underscores ongoing debates about extremism in the country.
