The Second Sons is a Canadian men's-only white nationalist group. It was founded in 2024 by Jeremy MacKenzie, a Canadian military veteran and prominent far-right activist.
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]
The group was founded by Jeremy MacKenzie, a military veteran and prominent far-right activist who also 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] [5]
The Second Sons held their first public rally on August 30, 2025, at 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]
On 30 October 2025, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network reported that over 2,000 people have signed up for the Second Sons in the past month. [6] The Canadian Anti-Hate Network also reported that supporters of both the Second Sons and the Dominion Society of Canada include police officers, soldiers of the Canadian Armed Forces, and members of the RCMP.
