Inside Canada's Alarming Rise of Fascist Fight Clubs

A network of far-right 'active clubs' promoting fascist and white nationalist ideologies is rapidly expanding across Canada.

These groups use martial arts and fitness training as a recruitment tool, often operating in public spaces like parks and gyms. Investigations have uncovered their efforts to prepare members for violence and recruit young men, raising concerns about public safety and hate-fueled extremism. Local officials, including the mayor of Hamilton, are urging residents to report any signs of hate activity in their communities.

The spread of these groups highlights a growing threat of organized far-right extremism in Canada.
