Thank you for the question.
In this report, which dates back to 2014, we sought to draw an initial picture of the extreme right in Quebec. We were interested in different profiles that we had established. Basically, through open sources, we were able to conduct interviews in Quebec with members who had, in one way or another, participated in activities or groups related to the far right.
We realized that these people were deeply in search of meaning and, through a kind of opportunism, found themselves interested in more ideological content, related to immigration and, essentially, to the protection of white suprematism.
We had seen a form of radicalization in that these people first became interested in a group and then found that within that group, people were just drinking alcohol and would eventually get violent with each other. These people would then turn to increasingly ideologically radicalized groups, which was more in line with what they could perceive as a form of extremism of the idea.
I hope that answers your question.
