Fascist fight clubs are growing across Canada
Groups known as "active clubs" are growing across Canada. They often meet in public parks or martial arts clubs, and say they are building community and fitness while standing up for Canada's European history. But they're part of a decentralized network with deep ties to white nationalist, neo-Nazi, and other far-right groups — and they're spreading fast. An exclusive CBC investigation has uncovered exactly how and where these groups operate, who's involved, who they target, and their connections to other extremist groups in Canada and beyond. The CBC's Eric Szeto explains what his team uncovered during the months-long investigation. Then, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue's Mack Lamoureux puts the clubs into the context of growing far-right extremism worldwide, and the broader goals of the movement.

Charlottetown distances itself from MAGA musician's performance at city-owned venue
The City of Charlottetown says an upcoming concert by controversial U.S. Christian musician Sean Feucht is 'not a city-sponsored event.' Feucht, a rising star in the MAGA movement, is a missionary and author who has spoken out against the 2SLGBTQ+ community, abortion rights and critical race theory on his website. He's scheduled to perform Thursday at city-owned Confederation Landing in downtown Charlottetown just days before the the beginning of Pride Fest 2025. "The City is aware of a concert taking place at Confederation Landing … and of some concerns raised by members of the public regarding the performer," reads a statement from the city. "This is not a City-sponsored event and while a permit was issued to the organizers, from a legal standpoint we are limited in restricting access to public spaces." The release adds that the city wants to be clear in its full support of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. "If there are any opinions or statements expressed by any performer to the contrary, they are not the views of the City," the statement reads. The statement was posted on Facebook, where several commenters criticized the decision not to cancel the performance or revoke the permit. Feucht is also on Wednesday, which has also sparked outcry from some residents there who are urging Parks Canada to cancel the event.

Carney says he's not worried about the impending deadline, stating that his government will use all the time that's necessary to get the best deal. The prime minister described his ideal agreement as one that preserves, reinforces and stabilizes the trade relationship between Canada and the U.S. while still leaving Canada free to pursue other interests.
