They’re white supremacist “Proud Boys” – and members of the Canadian military (updated twice)

Left to Right: Braidyn Pollitt John Eldridge, David Eldridge, Grant Gauchier, and Eric Maurice

Left to Right: Braidyn Pollitt – plus John Eldridge, David Eldridge, Grant Gauchier, and Eric Maurice giving white power salute.

These five individuals are all members of the Canadian Armed Forces.  And, on Canada Day, they went to a Mi’kmaw event in Halifax, held to remember missing and murdered indigenous women.

They weren’t there as members of our military, or to show support.  They were there because they wanted to attack the Mi’kmaw.  They were there because they said they are part of the white supremacist group, the Proud Boys.

The Proud Boys are a hate group founded and led by Rebel Media star Gavin McInnes.    McInnes has written on Rebel’s web site about how he hates Jews, calls blacks “monkeys,” calls himself “anti-Semitic,” says Jews should “get over” the Holocaust, and authors essays titled “I’m Not a Racist, Sexist, or a Homophobe, You Nigger Slut Faggot.”

The Proud Boys and McInnes are what they are: racist, anti-Semitic human garbage.  They’re on the record, and the record is clear.  That’s not the issue, here.

The issue is Messrs. Pollitt, Eldridge, Eldridge, Gauchier, and Maurice, above, celebrating after attacking a group of peaceful indigenous people, and four of them giving white power salutes in a Halifax bar.  That’s the issue.

Anti-Racist Canada has the right idea: all of us should contact their commanders, and demand answers.  Here’s where you can do that – and please let us know what response, if any, you get.

The Honourable Harjit Singh Sajjan: Minister of National Defence:

Royal Canadian Navy:
Vice-Admiral Maurice Frank Ronald “Ron” Lloyd:

UPDATE: Good news – it looks like CAF are taking this very seriously.

UPDATE: It is now up on HuffPo.

      God. It’s the same symbol/hand signal Trump makes with his hands whenever he speaks; and with your permission, I’ll be forwarding your post with a cover letter to Justin Trudeau. The hell with the minions.

        Just saw the update. Wow. That response was fast by the Admiral unlike the Ward news BS. Well played.

    would it do any good to speak to my mp

    No coverage of this Proud Boy picnic in Halifax on the Rebel at all. Even the normally verbose Gavin McInnes is silent. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that Ezra has finally channeled the judgment to avoid a damaging story? Of course, if they don’t cover it, then they can say it is just fake news, another concoction made up by the biased MSM. Give me a break… BTW, I noticed no advertising on the site just now, apart from their own branded products. (Make Canada Great Again ball caps, etc.) Not kidding….

    Nah – it means ” I just mixed a batch” or when there’s more than one , as above, ” we did it in a circle”

    I’m betting these racist douchebags aren’t so smug today.

  6. Eric Weiss says:

    Great write up in Huffpo. I think we all need to contact the Minister, the Navy and the Admiral and let them know this is totally unacceptable. I was in the forces, and I can tell you right now their first instinct is to circle the wagons and minimize this event. We can’t let them.

    What a bunch of ignorant fucks! Discharge them and let them fight over minimum wages for the rest of their stupid lives.

    It is particularly bothersome to me considering I know several veterans, including sailors, who did peace keeping missions and came home with debilitating post traumatic stress injuries and then I see these pieces of shit…………….

    Wednesday morning. What I learned from this now that these idiot brownshirts have been canned.
    No video, no crime. This was so blatant it could not be ignored and the video gave the media the conflict footage they love so much because outrage sells. The Ward News is far more insidious but how can you capture print bigotry and hatred on video.
    The women fought back harder than the men.
    How easy it is to radicalize the young. It doesn’t take much to organize and outfit white privilege and hate.
    The clown with the Nazi haircut asking questions of the woman from first nations was straight out of Schindler’s List and I wanted to slap the smirk off his face as hard as I could.
    Today it was stopped. Tomorrow? Who knows.

    “OK” has the thumb and finger make a circle.

    Some of these members are still in the CAF. What does that say about our military?
