"Sir, we have intelligence reports that underground white nationalist groups are operating on Canadian soil."
"This is gravely concerning. What are they doing? Assaulting minorities? Vandalizing immigrant-run businesses? Plotting paramilitary operations against the Canadian government?"
"Well no."
"What then?"
"The tactics vary between groups. Second Sons likes to do banner drops from freeway overpasses. Dominion Society mostly puts up a lot of posters."
"With open calls for targeted violence?"
"Not exactly."
"Racial slurs?"
"No, they're very careful to avoid anything like that."
"So what do these banners and posters say?"
"Second Sons is the most rhetorically provocative. Their banners say things like "CBC hates white people", or "Got bones?", which is code for residential school denialism."
"Am I to understand that they publicly imply that the lived experience and oral history of Aboriginal Canadians is less than sufficient evidence for genocide?"
"Their accompanying social media posts make that interpretation unavoidable, sir."
"That's practically a hate crime! What about these posters from the Dominion Group?"
"Dominion Society, sir. Most of them just promote the Dominion Society itself, sir. However, others contain patriotic messaging."
"That's outrageous!"
"I know, sir. It gets worse. Some of them promote 'remigration', which is code for sending immigrants back to their home countries."
"They want to REVERSE immigration?"
"It's their explicit political goal, sir."
"Using violence, I assume?"
"Well, not exactly, sir. Their public literature indicates that they favour a suite of policies involving financial incentives, restrictions on public aid to asylum seekers, enforcement of existing immigration laws and deportation of visa overstays, strict reductions in temporary foreign worker and student visas, and intensified immigration fraud investigation."
"I've heard enough. Monstrous. Truly monstrous. This is practically terrorism!"
