The group was founded by
Jeremy MacKenzie, a military veteran and prominent far-right activist who also founded
Diagolon, an
alt-right organization. While not appearing publicly in its first year of operation, the Second Sons used gyms across Canada to bolster their presence and increase recruitment. On October 30, 2025, the
Canadian Anti-Hate Network reported that over 2,000 people have signed up for the Second Sons in the past month. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network also reported that supporters of both the Second Sons and the
Dominion Society of Canada include police officers, soldiers of the
Canadian Armed Forces, and members of the
RCMP.
Activities The group was first spotted publicly by the
Canadian Anti-Hate Network at a soldier's
cenotaph in
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The Second Sons held their first public rally on August 30, 2025, at
Brock's Monument in
Queenston Heights Park, with over 50 people attending. In October 2025, the Second Sons held two simultaneous protests outside of CBC News offices in Ottawa and Regina. In both protests, members of the Second Sons held up a sign which read: "CBC Hates White People." On November 23, 2025, at 11:30 am, roughly 30 members of the Second Sons stood at attention on the Wortley Road overpass in
London, Ontario. Three members held flags, one
Canadian red ensign and two flags of the Second Sons. Members also held a black and white banner which read: "REMIGRATION NOW". The London Police Service reported that they were aware of the protest and that the protest lasted for roughly 30 minutes and proceeded without incident. Afterwards, members of the group lowered their flags before walking in two lines towards Thames Park. They continued walking in formation through the park before reaching a parking lot near Ridout Street. The protest was condemned by deputy London Police Chief Paul Bastien and city councillor Skylar Franke. Some members held a banner which read: "Indian trucks kill Canucks". No arrests were reported at the demonstration. ==References==
