The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) attacked Christians and white people in a recent blacklist denouncing hate.

The blacklist, 40 Ways To Fight The Far-Right, referenced "far-right and hate movements … seen in Canada in the last few years." It lumped together the Campaign Life Coalition and its affiliated LifeSiteNews with neo-Nazis and skinheads.

Campaign Life Coalition expressed their disgust over the booklet. "The CAHN seemingly can’t tolerate difference of opinion, and feel obliged to brand a wide variety of reasonable views as 'hate,' 'fascist,' or 'far-right,' and to lump them in the same category as Nazism," said Josie Luetke, its Director of Education and Advocacy.

"The truth is we at Campaign Life Coalition believe in equality and human rights for all human beings—from conception to natural death. CAHN claims that 'fascists are violent,' but we’re the ones peacefully opposing the violence of abortion (and occasionally getting assaulted for it)," she continued.

The booklet also claimed "white boys and men" constitute most 'hate-promoting' movements, though it did not elaborate or source this claim.

"Personally, as a woman, I find it condescending that they feel it necessary to resort to the eye-roll-inducing 'internalized misogyny' accusations to explain away my principled pro-life position and that of my other female colleagues."

The federally-subsidized Anti-Hate Network defines 'hate-promoting' as "ideologies, groups, movements and individuals which target members of protected groups."

"While their rhetoric is deceptive and ridiculous, it does have real consequences, and the 'antifascist' tactics they recommend their readers employ should be taken seriously," Luetke said. "They encourage doxing of 'fascists' (a term they purposely keep nebulous), which can be dangerous and lead to violence."

Luetke contends CAHN is "afraid of the truth," attributing that to their attempts "to de-platform us."

Canadian Heritage and Public Safety Canada provided $640,000 in funding "research" to the organization. Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge did not comment on publication, reported Blacklock’s Reporter.

"The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to research and establish a framework for the Canadian Anti-Hate Network so it may carry out studies on the far-right landscape in Canada that conform with human subject research ethics," the public safety department said in a statement.

Elizabeth Simons, executive director of the Anti-Hate Network, said the handouts did not directly finance the 40 Ways booklet. "No discussion was had with any branch of government about the booklet," she said. 

Deputy Director Simons defended the blacklist. "The guide does not contain the word 'Catholics' at all," she said. It was a republication of writings by Spencer Sunshine, a U.S. freelancer and activist.

However, Luetke doesn't buy the explanation. "I do believe the CAHN is attacking Christians, including practicing Catholics, as they have done on previous occasions," she said. "However, I think this attack is much broader, as they also mention the Million March for Children repeatedly, which attracted participants of all faith backgrounds."

"Really, I think they are attacking anyone who dares question the politically-correct, anti-life, and anti-family ideology that has an iron grip over our nation, or at least our government and many institutions. It’s disgraceful that CAHN receives government funding."
