Canada is among the world's most tolerant and peaceable countries. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network wants you to believe otherwise, however, working tirelessly to convince Canadians their country is a seething hotbed of (mostly white, right-wing) hate groups. John Klein lays bare the hypocrisy, intolerance and damage done to individuals and free speech rights when a small group of political activists model themselves on a much larger American group and appoint themselves as our country's figurative judge, jury and executioner.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) began operations in early 2018, billing itself as an "independent, nonprofit organization made up of Canada's leading experts and researchers on hate groups and hate crimes."
