The Dominion Society of Canada (French: Société du Dominion du Canada) is an anti-immigration and far-right Canadian nationalist group that was founded in 2025.

History

The Dominion Society of Canada was founded on 1 July 2025 by former People's Party of Canada Executive Director Daniel Tyrie, Greg Wycliffe and Ken Jones,[2] and was established as a non-profit corporation on 10 July 2025.[3]

In October 2025, the group was reported by The Canadian Anti-Hate Network to have 1,600 registered members.[4] In late December 2025, the group claimed to have reached over 2,000 registered members.[1] The majority of the Dominion Society's registered members are young men.[5] The Canadian Anti-Hate Network reported the Society shares membership and discussion spaces with groups such as Diagolon and is acting as the "political arm" of white supremacist group Second Sons.[6] However, in an emailed statement to The Tyee, Dominion Society chairman Daniel Tyrie disputed this characterization.[7]

Goals

The Dominion Society seeks to promote "Heritage Canadians" as an ethnonationalist group and advocates for a cessation of most forms of immigration to Canada and compelled expulsion of newcomers not of Anglo-Celtic or French European countries.[8][9][10][11][12][13] [14] The Canadian Anti-Hate Network describes the group as the "political arm" of white nationalism in Canada, aiming at pushing the Conservative Party of Canada to endorse the concept of remigration.[6][15]

The Dominion Society has also advocated for the classification of Antifa as a terrorist organization under Canadian law.[16]

Activities

Flyers promoting the group were noticed in Niagara-on-the-Lake weeks after it was established.

On 17 October 2025, during a University of Toronto Mississauga campus event by Member of parliament Jamil Jivani as part of his Restore the North tour, several audience members identified themselves as members of the Dominion Society. When the audience members put the idea of Remigration to Jivani he said, "acknowledge it is complicated."[17] Later, on 3 November 2025, Jivani posted a video on Twitter with a speaker who was wearing a Dominion Society pin.[18]

On 17 November 2025, a group of between 10 and 15 people dressed in dark green hoodies gathered above the Ontario Highway 406 overpass in St. Catharines. Some members waved Canadian Red Ensigns and Dominion Society flags while others hung a banner which read, "REMIGRATION NOW."[19]

On 14 December 2025, a group of around 30 members of Dominion Society (including board members Greg Wycliffe and Ken Jones) gathered on a highway overpass in Calgary. Some members waved the Canadian Red Ensign and held a dominion society banner over the bridge that read "REMIGRATION NOW". [20]

On 29 January 2026, members of the Dominion Society (including chairman Daniel Tyrie) held a demonstration in Calgary outside of the Conservative leadership convention.[21]

On 16 February 2026, Daniel Tyrie was invited to a video podcast interview by Juno News founder Candice Malcolm.[22] During the interview, Tyrie argued that "ethnocultural identity needs to be put at the heart of our immigration policy." At the end of the interview, Malcolm asked Tyrie if he considered himself to be a white nationalist to which Tyrie replied that he considers himself to be a Canadian nationalist. The interview was criticized by former Alberta premier and former immigration minister Jason Kenney. Kenney described Tyrie as a "racist" and described remigration as "Bananas".[23]

Balgord described the Dominion Society as the "political wing" of the movement, but Daniel Tyrie, the co-founder of the organization, disputes that description. "Characterizing the Dominion Society as the 'political wing' of other groups is a baseless and misleading claim that misrepresents our structure, mission and activities," Tyrie told The Tyee in an emailed statement. "We view this as an intentional attempt to undermine the credibility of a fast-growing organization whose message on national identity and remigration is resonating with a growing number of Canadians."
