A CBC investigative report shows that leaders of the group Second Sons Canada, which describes itself as a “nationalist men’s club,” actually believe in neo-Nazi, racist, and violent ideas. Experts say the group deliberately presents a soft-spoken image to attract more people by posting seemingly harmless posts on social media, while the leaders’ real positions on podcasts and live broadcasts are completely different.

Based on hundreds of hours of podcasts and live broadcasts, the group’s leaders believe a “race war” has begun in Canada and support the mass deportation of people of color. They use the term “re-immigration,” but analysts say that term is actually a cover for ethnic cleansing.

While the group’s official Instagram, Facebook and X pages focus on sports, camaraderie, Canadian history and veterans, its leaders’ personal content:

welcome neo-Nazis,

question Holocaust statistics,

talk about violence and even the execution of politicians,

and mention the use of weapons and “forcible evictions.”

Legal experts say some of the statements could constitute hate speech under Canada’s criminal code. Radicalization analysts also stress that the difference between the group’s official and unofficial content is a conscious recruitment strategy.

According to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, Second Sons has grown significantly over the past year and is now the dominant white nationalist group in the country. The group has also merged with a neo-Nazi fight club in Montreal.

Following inquiries by the CBC, some platforms, including Spotify and Rumble, have removed a number of episodes of related podcasts for violating their terms. However, the group's leaders continue to be active online.

The CBC has reached out to the group's leaders for comment, but has not received a response.
