Over the weekend, the Western Standard published an op-ed titled “What is a Canadian?” authored by Daniel Tyrie, the former executive director of Maxime Bernier’s far-right People’s Party of Canada, who now heads a white nationalist group called the Dominion Society.

The Dominion Society, which extremism experts describe as the “political arm” of Canada’s white nationalist movement, maintains a website that explicitly promotes the “Great Replacement,” the idea that immigration policies are designed to replace white populations.

The group’s main focus is on mainstreaming an idea it calls “remigration.” Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the US-based Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, has noted the Dominion Society’s “remigration” message is effectively advocating the “ethnic cleansing of people of colour.”

Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, echoed that view, observing that the Dominion Society seeks to “push the Overton window” and normalize the idea of “remigration.”
