Nationalist-13 (also known as NS13) is a Canadian "Active Club".
Similar to the Second Sons, Nationalist-13 is a men's only, Canadian nationalist, and white nationalist group that uses gyms as meet-up spots and for fitness training via martial arts.[2] A CBC report been noted that despite the similarities between the two groups, the Second Sons and Nationalist-13 are different and unrelated organizations. Nationalist-13 also has a Youth Division.[3]
History
The group is based in Hamilton, Ontario.[3][4] It was also reported to be active in the Niagara Region.[5] According to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, Nationalist-13 "first emerged in 2021 from the Canada First propaganda network as a street activism group focused on putting up stickers in a run of similar locations throughout Hamilton. Since that time the group has evolved into something similar to an "Active Club", holding regular workout and boxing training sessions in public parks."[6] Since 2025, the group has become more public and active.[7]
