This July, Second Sons Canada held its second National level event in Alberta with members in attendance from British Columbia to Newfoundland.

The organization has grown and evolved significantly in the past year. Not without some setbacks, as must be expected in an endeavor as this but I am proud to say that the men continue to rise to the occasion and capably overcome challenges that have destroyed efforts like ours in the past.

We have added new regional groups in several provinces, implemented a prospect to member pipeline system to manage and screen applicants and conducted local and national level public demonstrations on important issues plaguing Canadians that our political class insists on ignoring.

The club had the honor of sending a delegation to Patriot Front's American Muscle event and secured some hard won trophies but more importantly, new friends. SSC is also the first nationalist effort of it's kind to successfully re-unite English and French Canada together as equals under one roof, as our founders intended. Nationalism is much more than simple political strategy or ideology. It is a spiritual committment to each other and to our collective future as a family - above all else. La famille passe avant tout!

The men are tested and challenged physically and mentally in the time tested ways of old that build discipline, self confidence, team cohesion and earn pride necessary to grow the courage to stand upright with their heads held high in dignity. I have seen to it personally to visit every group in the country this year and for our members who attended this national event, pushed them hard through the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

I held some concern this experiment may be too much of test for some as it was significantly more difficult than last year, but once again the men outdid themselves and proved their tenaciousness. We also enjoyed some friendly combat sports competition, organizational training, promotions, awards, excellent food and social time. A long form video documenting our recent adventures will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.

Finally, to the chagrin of our enemies - all of the past 2+ years exemplary conduct has been without public incident or a single arrest - and why would there be? There is nothing criminal about loving your own people and nation as yourselves, despite what the hysterical, terrorism enabling sympathizers at CBC would have you believe.

A tremendous thank you to all of our volunteers, supporters, family and friends. Everything we do is for you and is impossible without you.

Canada may have been fashionably late to the party, but everyone knows we're here.
