The Canadian Antihate Network (CAHN) and the CBC have identified over 190 Canadians who were on the now-defunct white supremacist dating site WhiteDate.net. Among them are a number of members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), including Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who apparently left a trail of thousands of posts in far-right forums between 2019-2024. The CAF is now investigating him.
Armstrong's online posts championed Nazi Germany and Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, really off-the-charts views about Black people, women, and LGBTQ folks.

Another is Ottawa-based naval reservist Brogan Hale ("blueeyedsailor" on WhiteDate.net), who has expressed eliminationist ideas in order to "keep Canada white".
And a third is Brandon Longpré, a self-identified corporal in the Governor General's Foot Guards in Ottawa. Longpré isn't quoted in either of these articles, but having observed WhiteDate closely while it was still up and running, I can tell you that it's pretty inconceivable that anyone could have had an account on there without knowing that it was a forum for people on the white nationalist/neo-nazi spectrum.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/whitedate-canada-military-9.7117307
The CBC article also identifies the WhiteDate accounts of two already well known Canadian nazis: Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald of the Frontenac Active Club/Second Sons Canada and Exiles of the Golden Age organizer Lane Pommer.
If anyone would like to see the exported WhiteDate files, they're at okstupid.lol.

Big congratulations to Canadian air force officer Tristan Armstrong who - thanks to his prolific posting on white supremacist chat boards and dating websites - we now all know as someone whose ideal woman is "child like" and thinks that “the moment a girl has her first period, she is at her peak marriagability." He's also got umm *interesting* views about rape and gay people! AND LADIES, HE'S SINGLE!

Tristan is the 125th white supremacist loser we've documented as also having an unsavoury interest in children - read our full list of far-right/fascist paedos here: https://antifainternational.tumblr.com/post/170045856829/our-updated-list-of-racists-bigots-far-right

Auster AOP.6 This Auster was a post-war development of the wartime Lycoming-engined AOP.5 (AOP standing for Air Observation Post, outlining its role as an artillery observation platform). This example, seen at a fly-in, is finished as an aircraft of the RCAF, the Royal Canadian Air Force. The yellow scheme was intended to make it stand out against a snowy landscape in the event of a forced landing. The cartoon character painted on the nose (an example of 'nose art') is that of the dastardly 'Captain A.R.P. Reilly-Ffoull' of Arentwee Hall, from the British cartoon strip, 'Just Jake', drawn by Bernard Graddon and published in the Daily Mirror from 1938 to 1952. #Auster #AirObservationPost #AOP #DailyMirror #RCAF #RoyalCanadianAirForce #Lycoming #forcedlanding #aviation #flyin #noseart #cartoon #cartooncharacter #Reilly-Ffoull #JustJake #Canada #history #technology #flying #BernardGraddon #cartoonstrip #photography #aircraft #artillery #avgeek #aviationphotography #flight #newspaper

Here's another shot of one of my favourite Curtiss Warhawks, 'The Jacky C' (please click on image). This is a P-40M-10-CU is finished in the colours of the famous 'Flying Tigers' who flew against the Japanese in WW2. The aircraft actually saw service with the Royal Canadian Air Force. #WW2 #history #militaryaviation #aircraft #FlyingTigers #China #Burma #aviation #aviationphotography #photography #flight #RCAF #RoyalCanadianAirForce #airshow #sharkmouth #Mastodonaviation #Mastodonphotography #avgeek #P40 #Curtiss #Warhawk
