Who Fuels Division in Rural Canada and Why? - Kurt Phillips - Canadian Anti-Hate Network


I’ve spoken with Kurt Phillips from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network in an episode previously, called Bias, Hate and Extremism in Rural Canada - Part 2 about the organizations at play spreading hate and disinformation in the news deserts of rural Canada.


This time, we’re talking about the campaigns to overturn proclamations, Pride events and flags, and the protests around Drag Storytime. 


Who are these groups and what is their end game?


Kurt Phillips started doing anonymous online research into hate groups in Canada, but was doxxed in recent years, losing his anonymity. He’s a board member of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network and also a high school teacher in rural Alberta. 

Canadian Anti-Hate Network's Educational Toolkit, which is a Government of Canada-funded resource, aims to give teachers and students the tools to address displays of hate on campus.
