Doug Ford’s Victory Is Also One For White Nationalists

Ford’s alleged dog whistles and connections to the far-right will further embolden white supremacists and normalize hatred.

Davide Mastracci

The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario won a majority government on June 7, taking power for the first time in 15 years. The election was a resounding victory for leader Doug Ford. Accordingly, it was also a victory for white supremacists.

This is because Ford was the preferred candidate for the far-right. Don't believe me? Just listen to them.

A recent investigation from Ricochet found that, "Far-right figures and groups, from the explicitly white supremacist to the more crypto-fascist, have not been shy in proclaiming their support for 'Ford Nation' and their belief that Doug Ford could create an opening for white supremacist activity similar to the effect of Donald Trump in the United States."

Ricochet's investigation involved listening to episodes of This Hour Has 88 Minutes, the most popular white supremacist podcast in Canada until it was deleted on May 9, after Vice Canada sent a comment request to one of the co-hosts, Thomas White, for an investigation that would be released a week later.

The far-right figures on the podcast did not give their support to Ford begrudgingly, in the way some people do when voting for the candidate they believe will cause the least harm.

Instead, over the course of several episodes, the co-hosts encouraged listeners to buy PC memberships to vote for Ford in the leadership race, vote for Ford to be premier, and actively support his campaign on the ground and through social media.

This is not to say that Ford is a white supremacist. Ford denounced Gabriel Sohier Chaput, a co-host of This Hour Has 88 Minutes', saying, "I condemn this guy's views and everything he stands for." He also appears to have received significant support from racialized voters, especially in the Greater Toronto Area, and has many racialized people in his caucus.

According to Ricochet's analysis of the podcast, the white supremacists supported Ford because they believed he will "'electrify' the white working class and give blue-collar people permission to be racist," as well as hastening an arrival of the white ethnostate they desire.

Alt-right group, the Proud Boys, are calling Ford the 'Proud Boy of the month'

Ford also received support from several other far-right figures.

Ezra Levant, the co-founder of the news and commentary outlet, Rebel Media, which has hosted white nationalists, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, alt-right figures and other hate-mongers, says Ford will smash the "false liberal consensus."

Faith Goldy, the former Rebel Media host who was fired after appearing on a podcast affiliated with a neo-Nazi publication, The Daily Stormer, describes Ford as a "right wing populist," that will "clean house."

Ronny Cameron, the most prominent far-right organizer in Toronto, cited Ford's promises to lower taxes, oppose the carbon tax and repeal the sex-ed curriculum.

Alt-right group, the Proud Boys, are calling Ford the "Proud Boy of the month," and claiming that he will, "Make Ontario Great Again."

Yet the far-right's affection for Ford isn't entirely unrequited, either. Ford was a speaker at a Rebel Media event in June 2017. He also appointed Andrew Lawton, one of Rebel Media's former hosts, who once claimed that women in Germany deserved to be raped because of the country's supposedly lax refugee policies.

One of Ford's former candidates, Tanya Granic Allen, who has espoused an Islamophobic and homophobic ideology that led to her being dismissed as a candidate, was endorsed by prominent neo-Nazi, Paul Fromm.

Another one of Ford's candidates, Donna Skelly, promoted a far-right news organization during an event for young conservatives in December 2017.

Ontario already has a hate problem

In May, when speaking on immigration, Ford claimed that Ontario needs to "take care of our own." The comment was widely condemned, but according to far-right organizer Cameron, who celebrated the remark, "Every nationalist out there are [sic] like 'we know what you're sayin' Dougie.'"

One of the co-hosts of This Hour Has 88 Minutes also claimed Ford has sent covert signals of approval to the far-right, stating, "All it takes is someone like a Doug Ford or a Trump to activate those impulses in people."

These racist impulses aren't entirely dormant, of course.

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper proposed or supported a great deal of anti-Muslim legislation, ostensibly in the name of national security, especially in his final few years. This included: banning niqabs.in citizenship ceremonies, introducing Bill C-51, planning to combat "barbaric cultural practices," and citing mosques as sites of radicalization in Canada. In that same time span, from 2012 to 2015, hate crimes against Muslims reported by police to Statistics Canada increased by 253 per cent.

Ontario already has a hate problem. There were 612 hate crimes reported by police to Statistics Canada in 2016, 43 per cent of the total reported in Canada as a whole. Also in 2016, the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants and advocacy group Mass Minority released a studywhich found there was an "epidemic of Islamophobia" in the province.

The threat now facing marginalized people in Ontario is that Ford's alleged dog whistles and connections to the far-right will further embolden white supremacists and normalize hatred.

Better organization will mean more recruits, and violence, all the way to mass casualty attacks, as several experts studying the far-right told The Walrus.

White supremacists are confident in their ability to expand their ranks in this political climate. One of the This Hour Has 88 Minutes co-hosts claimed that, "Those people [blue-collar workers] are not far from our thinking. It's a very small push to our thinking."

A Ford victory is the push they've been hoping to get. It's up to Ontarians to prove them wrong.

Facts?
The only fact I see here is that you leftists are predictable when you lose an election.

Shouldn't you be attending a "fuck the police" rally and insulting war veterans rather than making shit up?

Why would I do that, Boober? Some of my best friends are police and I served in the armed forces myself.

Now we both know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed. But you can answer the question for Larue. What do you think is wrong with the article? Feel free.

What a surprise. Alt left loses again and starts the name calling and labeling. So old and predictable. Anyone not conforming to their ways is a Nazi, racist, white supremacist, etc etc. *yawn*

The article is obviously trying to draw a conclusion that because some of those people support him, that by that definition he's also like them.
The Fords have always embraced multiculturalism. Rob volunteered coaching teams that were predominately underprivileged black kids.
Considering Doug Ford has travelled the province meeting thousands of people, taken photographs with them, having their support, why zero in on a select few to draw that conclusion? Just because they support him?


I know why...because that's what people like you do when you don't get your way...you label people racists.

Weak.

Well the one thing in the article that is true is that Ford's victory will "normalize hate". Except the hate will be coming from the left toward Ford and his supporters.
Just look at all the hate that is unleashed daily toward Trump in this forum, even though Trump is not the leader of Canada and most people on here have no say in American elections. Oagre even has started a thread where he calls Trump advisor Larry Kudlow an "asshole" in the title and essguy has one suggesting that his recent heart attack was caused by drugs. Pathetic.
And they are just part of the merry band on here who called anyone who did not share their beliefs uneducated, idiots, fools, and worse. Watch for the gutter rhetoric to ramp up as Ford is successful much to their dismay.

Trump's support of alt-right and neo-nazis is not something to 'like' or normalize.

"In some parts of the 905 belt around Toronto the numbers are even higher. In Mississauga, visible minorities form 57.2 per cent of the population, and in Brampton 73.3 per cent. The figure rises to 90 per cent in places like Markham and Scarborough’s Agincourt neighbourhood."

These are the folks who gave Ford his majority (i.e. visible minorities).

Those who suggest White Nationalists are bigots are bigots themselves. It is perfectly fine to be proud of your country or caucasian heritage. White people have contributed more to the world than any race in history by far.

You are a racist scum bag. That statement alone should disqualify your comments from any seriousness ever again.

I agree with half your quote. It's fine to be proud of your country and being caucasian. The other half of your quote about contributions to this world is full of shit. Read a damn book once in awhile.

Why would we not believe that? Of course Ford is the choice of the far-right, just as Horwath was the choice of the far-left. That's how it works....

I don't believe in guilt by association, and neither should you. If that was reality, everyone would be guilty of some heinous crime.
