I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.
After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.
Here’s my investigation:
Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

Noticing a striking lack of consistency in how Canadian media refers to the actions of the US-Israeli military in Iran
Even at the same outlet, you see it described as “airstrikes,” a ”conflict” and as a “war” – at this point, I think we can call what’s happening a “war”
Why Mark Carney is accused of "gaslighting" Canadian Sikhs:

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.
You think Kamloops has that kind of technology?
Has that footage been verified by Ben Mulroney?
I was gonna post this myself but I'll just share @lukelebrun.ca. These are supposedly serious people
As someone who has been victimized by Ben Mulroney's "journalism", this delights.
I do like the thought that Ben Mulroney requires a team of producers to help him tweet, though
Warren Kinsella and Senator Charles Adler are coming to Ben Mulroney's defence and blaming TV producers for Ben sharing video game footage as if it were real air combat videos from Iran on his personal X account
(I don't think they understand he is sharing this stuff on X, not on TV)
Ben Mulroney accidentally shares video with fake footage of him being a respected media figure
A lot of your @thebeaverton.com article is actually accurate
Thank you, @lukelebrun.ca, for breaking this story so that I could have the opportunity to write jokes about this nepo baby asshole, always a pleasure, etc etc
I knew the game would be Arma 3 before clicked
Global News has obtained exclusive video of US armoured cavalry units rolling into Tehran:
I wonder if the team behind Arma 3 ever thought their game would become the most popular software to fool boomers into thinking simulated war footage is real
UPDATE: One and a half days after Global News / Ben Mulroney were contacted about him sharing video game footage as if it were real air combat video, Ben Mulroney quietly removed the post from his X account this afternoon
Still no comment from @globalnews.ca or Ben Mulroney
Every woman I know double- and triple-checks every public pronouncement, worrying about the tiniest hit to credibility.
And this nepo baby has one of the rare prestige journalism posts in this country.
She’s on parental leave. Ben Mulroney is her temporary replacement

“Hero rushes to save a woman kidnapped by a giant ape. Film at 11.” - Ben Mulroney (probably)
NEW FROM ME:
While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran
I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game
Just bookmarking for later, somewhat unrelated: I think he's going to eventually run for mayor of Toronto. He's supporting Bradford now but I think, ultimately, this'll be his political path.
Could be wrong.
And this, my friends, is why Press Progress is invaluable in Canada’s media ecosystem. Keeps folks honest. Good job @lukelebrun.ca

Wendy's drive-thru speaker:
"Sir, this is a CBC News article"
“It is highly likely that members of the Canadian military, on exchange with the United States, were involved in the planning and co-ordinating of airstrikes on Iran, says a former senior Canadian general”
It’s pretty strange that they went to the effort to specifically target, and reportedly kill, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has had no significant role in Iranian politics to my knowledge since the 2010s. Did they want to stop the weird hip-hop tweets?
Very strange reply to my request for comment from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
