Organization and aims

The Second Sons is a men's only, Canadian nationalist, and white nationalist group. [1] The group operates chapters throughout Canada, using gyms as meet-up spots and to train their fitness via martial arts. The group appears publicly in white masks and sunglasses, similar to the Patriot Front, [2] and has adopted a modified version of the Red Ensign as their logo. [3]

History

The group was founded by Jeremy MacKenzie, a prominent far-right activist who founded Diagolon, an alt-right organization. [4] While not appearing publicly in its first year of operation, the Second Sons used gyms across Canada to bolster their presence and increase recruitment. The group was first spotted publicly by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network at a soldier's cenotaph in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. [4]

The Second Sons held their first public rally on August 30, 2025, at the Brock's Monument in Queenston Heights Park, with over 50 people attending. [2] The rally was condemned by Niagara-on-the-Lake mayor Gary Zalepa and Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates, both stating that "hate has no place in Canada". [3]
