CAHN Labels Dominion Society the ‘Political Arm’ of a Network Police Couldn’t Prove Exists

How the Canadian Anti-Hate Network’s new Dominion Society report reprints a threat architecture that already failed as an organizational fact

TORONTO — The Canadian Anti-Hate Network published a new attack paper on the Dominion Society of Canada on Tuesday and billed it as an investigation—but it reads like a reprint of Evan Balgord’s previous “white supremacist” wet-dream memoir he still can’t prove exists.

The document, posted Aug. 25 under the headline Dominion Society of Canada: The White Nationalist Non-Profit with a Mass Deportations Agenda, opens by calling DSC a white-nationalist organization that campaigns for “mass deportations based on race, ethnicity, and religion.” It says the group “serves as the political arm of the white nationalism ecosystem in Canada,” shares members with outfits that “endorse racist and genocidal violence,” and has talked about forming a party. CAHN says it has 3,000 members and is raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We compared the paper against CAHN’s own 2025 writing, DSC’s public record, on-the-record denials from the people CAHN treats as ringleaders, and the RCMP files we published in the HateGate series. The new dossier does not produce a merger, a command chain, a violence case against DSC (or other groups), or a reason to keep treating Diagolon as a standing militia. It produces a role for DSC in a diagram CAHN drew last year and has been slopping to the public ever since.

Evan Balgord’s network already assigned the boxes on Oct. 30, 2025. In White Nationalism in Canada: Organized, Emboldened, and Growing, CAHN split the milieu into three parts: Diagolon as the propaganda arm, the Dominion Society as the political arm, Second Sons and the Active Clubs as the militant arm. “Together,” the piece said, “this is the largest white nationalist network in Canadian history.”

But Tuesday’s report—convieniently timed just days before Domcon 2026—is that middle box, stretched to feature length smear that only mildly retarded academics and blue haired goblins would ever take seriously.

Daniel Tyrie, Greg Wycliffe and Ken Jones incorporated the Dominion Society as a nonprofit in 2025. Its public program is straightforward: heritage identity, an immigration freeze, and remigration — stop the intake, remove illegal and criminal non-citizens, and press those who will not assimilate to leave. Tyrie has rejected the neo-Nazi and white-supremacist label and pointed to a code of conduct.

When we asked about CAHN’s claim that DSC is the political arm of a wider white-nationalist network, Tyrie told us:

“Dominion Society has no ties to outside groups. Our membership includes Canadians from a wide variety of political backgrounds and associations, including supporters of every mainstream political party, united by a deep concern for our nation’s future and the conviction that remigration is necessary to address the consequences of mass immigration.”

But CAHN treats lines like that as camouflage and does not print the evidence that would make them false, like a shared board, a joint account, a charter placing one group under the other.

What they publish instead is a schizophrenic report: shared streams, shared slogans, members and supporters who also turn up in Second Sons or old Diagolon chats. Then comes an alledged exhaustive list of fourteen examples of people flashing neo-Nazi symbols or calling themselves neo-Nazis, and a leader who will not “counter-signal” men “putting a mask on … and throwing Romans.”

But the “counter-signal” line is the big tell on CAHN’s objective with their continued harassment of Canadian Nationalist. Balgord doesn’t counter-signal violence on his own side — the masks, the doxxing, the street assaults, the Quebec car fire we flagged this spring. Their mandate is the far right and Balgord himself told Parliament the shop is “very proudly anti-fascist.” In 2022 an Ontario court found CAHN “did in fact assist Antifa and that the movement has been violent.” On Rachel Gilmore’s show he said, “And yes, you got me. I am anti-fascist,” then oddly called allegations of aid to violence defamatory.

So the rule is one-way. A heritage nonprofit that will not ritually denounce every salute in its comments is the political arm of a race war, but an antifascist research shop that will not denounce Antifa’s record of extreme violence is still the expert in the room. Radio-Canada’s own Rad documentary this June went further, relaying that CSIS had attributed no “extremist violent attack” in Canada to the antifascist movement since 2014 and that left violence, when it happens, is “surtout matérielle” and aimed at the right or the police. That is the climate CAHN operates in. They demand a purity ritual from Tyrie that they have never performed on the movement they named themselves after.

Search the new report for a beatings, a bombing, or a plot run by the Dominion Society or any other Nationalst group and you won’t find it, because It’s not there. The threat arrives in a dependent clause. DSC, CAHN writes, coexists with “other elements of the white nationalist movement, some of which endorse racist and genocidal violence.”

That clause does the work a case file would do in a serious intelligence product. Remigration on DSC’s site is a policy stack. Remigration in CAHN’s frame is racial expulsion with foreign atrocities taped to the edge of the page.

But that’s the trick. They do not have a DSC wrap sheet so they manufacture one.

Balgord ran the same shortcut before on Rachel Gilmore’s podcast when he attributed a masked home invasion and beating of anti-racist activist Jason Devine with hammers to a group of neo-Nazis—but there is no public record of this event being linked to “white supremacists” because police have never made an arrest.

Tuesday’s schizophrenic investigation is the same move with a new host.

We were on site in May during Dominions Society’s Victoria Day rally, there were roughly 100 people there who sang O Canada and demanded the city put the vandalized Sir John A. Macdonald statue back in Gore Park. A counter-protester closed the distance screaming “racist” and “fascist” and called Tyrie a “white fucking cracker.” There were no arrests attributed to the society but the Hamilton Spectator still ran replacement theory, white nationalism, and CAHN’s “political arm” line—and almost every loaded claim in that local smear piece traced to the same shop that published Tuesday’s propaganda.

That’s not a newsroom discovering a militia, it’s a newsroom photocopying a brief from a discredited organization that lost it’s funding for manufacturing false narratives and using them to create societal division.

Diagolon is how you know the brief is the product.

CAHN still writes the old fandom as if it were infrastructure. Jeremy MacKenzie created the name on a podcast as a diagonal cartoon of mandate-resistant provinces and states—and CAHN sold that creative idea as a neo-fascist militia and an accelerationist network preparing for unprecedented terror on Canadian streets.

Federal police paperwork told a different story. In the RCMP materials MacKenzie passed to us, analysts called Diagolon a concept, a joke, a loose network with no formal structure. One profile said the distinct entity “does not pose a criminal or national security threat.” Another said it was “exceedingly difficult to ascertain” whether Diagolon was even a group with a common ideology. The same file warned that mainstream copy cited CAHN as the main authority and that “all information traces back to one source,” so “triangulation and the verification of facts is almost impossible.” Officers could not see how CAHN “confidently” called MacKenzie and his band of misfit toys an accelerationist group—but CAHN has kept the militia language anyway.

Coutts is the cheap version of the same habit. A Diagolon patch turned up on gear in an RCMP seizure photo from the Alberta border blockade. Then–Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino talked about a far-right organization with leaders in Ottawa. Four men were charged with conspiracy to murder officers. Two later pleaded to lesser firearms counts and a jury acquitted Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick of the murder conspiracy and convicted them of mischief and weapons offences. CAHN still leans on the accusation — “supporters are among the four men accused” — as if the charge sheet were a finding about Diagolon as an organization.

Tuesday’s DSC paper needs the reader not to notice the pattern. If Diagolon was never the structured army they advertised, it cannot be the propaganda wing of anything. If it is not a wing, DSC cannot be the political arm of that wing, so the diagram collapses.

Balgord has not hidden the shop’s posture. The group took its model and startup cash from the Southern Poverty Law Center. It spent years on Canadian Heritage grants — Blacklock’s reported nearly $700,000 from that department over five years — until the latest agreement expired and was not renewed after MPs and internal mail flagged bias, anti-religious targeting, and “further polarization.” Public Safety officials had already written that the network had been “accused of creating products that were not free from bias.”

A pressure group is allowed to exist. It is not entitled to be the country’s default caption writer for “IMVE.”

The caption they want on DSC is the caption that got Diagolon into convoy coverage. It’s not a political argument—it is a contamination event. Book the hall and you are mainstreaming hate. Raise dues and you are funding the machine. Deny the merger and you are lying. Publish a code of conduct and you are wearing a mask. There is no fact pattern in which Tuesday’s delusions gets withdrawn— and that is why the piece is built as a verdict.

The report will travel anyway because It is designed to and the next local desk will write “according to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.” Then a councillor or politician will repeat it and CAHN will call that the climate DSC created. That loop is the investigation they never do — because they are the ones running it.
