Active clubs in Canada are training groups affiliated with white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideologies, posing as fitness communities while intending to recruit members. These clubs focus on martial arts and fitness, concealing their faces and locations during training to evade detection. Experts see them as a rising extremist threat, with 187 such clubs operating in 27 countries. Notable clubs operate under the guise of defending European cultural roots, but analysts recognize a deeper, more dangerous commitment to preparing for ideological violence and race wars.
Active clubs are part of a decentralized white supremacist and neo-Nazi network that has grown globally in recent years, increasingly moving from online forums to real-world training groups and anti-immigration protests.
On the surface level, they are recruiting people that are interested in getting in shape and learning martial arts. The minute you peel back even the slightest layer of this onion, it becomes far more insidious.
