Activities

Goudreau is the chairman of the Canadian Nationalist Front,[2] previously known as the White Nationalist Front, a white nationalist and far-right group.[1] In 2017, he opposed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's immigration policy,[2] and in September 2017, organised an anti-immigration protest in Peterborough, Ontario.[3] In 2019, a court imposed a peace bond on Goudreau after his social media posts encouraged people to kill members of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.[1][3] The same year, his Facebook and Twitter accounts were shut down as part of wider actions taken by the companies to remove extremist accounts.[4][5]

Goudreau was charged by police of uttering threats in April and in May 2022.[6] The first charge relates to alleged harassment towards his LGBT neighbours.[3]

Goudreau has a tattoo of a gun and a swastika on his chest.[4] Online photographs show him giving a Nazi salute.[7] He has been described as a neo-Nazi by Vice News[8] and local news outlet KawarthaNow.[9]

He was aged 46 in 2022, and lives in Peterborough.[6]
