Canadian Anti-Hate Network followed criminally-charged SPLC's blueprint
Juno News investigates the Canadian Anti-Hate Network's ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center which now faces criminal indictment in the U.S. for allegedly funding extremism.
A U.S. “anti-hate” group now facing federal indictment for allegedly funnelling money to extremists didn’t just operate south of the border; it helped kickstart Canada’s own version.
That organization, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN), went on to receive hundreds of thousands in federal funding, with Ottawa continuing to bankroll it even as questions mount about its methods, ties to the violent far-left group Antifa and the political influence they wield.
The U.S. Department of Justice indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center with 11-counts this week, alleging the organization secretly funnelled more than $3 million to individuals affiliated with extremist groups between 2014 and 2023.
In Canada, CAHN continues to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding while admitting it followed the SPLC’s blueprint.
