Neo-Nazi terror propagandist ‘Dark Foreigner’ guilty on all counts

An Ottawa man has been found guilty of sowing hate, fear and division by helping create racist recruitment videos and other terrorist propaganda for a now defunct far-right international terrorist group and a prominent neo-Nazi.

Superior Court Justice Robert Smith found Patrick Gordon Macdonald guilty of the three charges he faced: participating in terrorist activity, facilitating terrorist activity, and inciting hate against Jews for one or more terrorist entities, including Atomwaffen Division and the neo-Nazi James Mason.

Macdonald, 27, occasionally looked at the floor but otherwise showed no emotion during the judgment. His parents looked on from separate benches at the rear of the courtroom.

He committed the crimes in 2018 and 2019 — when he was 20 and 21 — in Ottawa, Belleville, Ont., and Saint-Ferdinand, Que., among other places. One of the videos was shot at an abandoned cement plant in Belleville, and another at an old schoolhouse in Saint-Ferdinand.
