Public Safety committee  It's exactly as you describe it. They do have their own ideologies. I wouldn't say “coherent”, but often they have a foundation, anyway. In an attempt to make it more appealing to a broader audience, they will glom on to, if you will, those very typical, normal, banal, everyday k

Public Safety committee  Yes, that's explaining a medical problem or a social problem through the lens of race.

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  I think they're actually more visible online. That's what we're seeing. There's more activity online and less activity offline because, believe it or not, they're actually obeying the stay-at-home orders as well, for the most part. They're very active online and very visible. S

Public Safety committee  As I indicated, it's the foundation of so much else that's associated with the far right, but you're absolutely right, every indicator has suggested quite a dramatic increase over the last five years or so, from the B'nai Brith reports to the official data that we have. Certainly

Public Safety committee  We have to put it in a broader context too. The events of January 6 are a reminder of the risk of allowing that kind of anti-statism to go unchecked. Granted there you had a political leader who was also sort of a threat to democracy, if you will. However, I think in the Canadia

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  Yes. That's because there's a whole litany of crimes for which he's thought to be guilty. It's not just the lockdowns or mishandling of COVID. It's also that he's responsible for “unbridled immigration” and “dangerous refugees”, and all that sort of thing, almost borrowing Trumpi

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  Yes. It's that sanitization. You mentioned David Duke. We saw it with David Duke in the 1980s, when he said, “throw off your white capes and put on your business suits.” That's the same sort of thing. That's sort of the alt-white in particular and their mastery of that mainstre

Public Safety committee  I'll speak to the first half, and perhaps, Dr. Leuprecht, you can respond to the second half. Dr. Leuprecht mentioned this notion of defending our way of life, and this is why there's this desire to take up arms, to defend our way of life as they understand it, which is very dif

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  That's the misogynistic element, which intersects often with the incel movements. The parts of the movement that are particularly.... When we talk about toxic masculinity, this is the worst of the worst in the movement. Its focus is on constraining women and constraining women's

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  We certainly have the support of senior leadership. The question will be whether we can garner the participation of people across the service. We're starting with a series of interviews with people at different levels, hopefully, at the majority of bases across the country, as we

May 31st, 2021Committee meeting

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  I will just respond briefly to the first one. That was the question of misogyny in the movement. There's no doubt that misogyny from the get-go is embedded in the far-right movement. It is grounded in racism, yes, and anti-Semitism but also in patriarchy. One of the mantras is t

May 31st, 2021Committee meeting

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  Yes, that is certainly something we've seen with the far right generally. You put together that hypermasculinity associated with the far right with the hypermasculinity that is associated with the military culture as well, and it's almost layering on there. The forms of masculini

May 31st, 2021Committee meeting

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  I should add—maybe that's another trend I should start talking about—that again, in response to the online piece, we're seeing a really dramatic upsurge in anti-statist narratives online, specifically anti-Trudeau narratives. It's not just those marginalized communities. In this

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  These are all very good questions. They're not easy questions by any stretch. One of the most disturbing things we found in this round of work—the Institute for Strategic Dialogue is doing much of our online analysis—is that in two successive years, Canadian posters were among

Dr. Barbara Perry

Public Safety committee  Thank you very much for the invitation to appear. I very much look forward to sharing my thoughts and engaging in some conversation. I did share with you two graphics to illustrate my comments today. The first is a sort of typology that we've been building around the diversity o
