Party founded in 2017In 2019, the RCMP launched another hate-crimes probe into Patron and the Canadian Nationalist Party after the party posted a Facebook video using language similar to that in the flyer. The difference, Kirzner-Roberts said, is that the video did not directly refer to Jewish people, while the recently posted flyer does. Kirzner-Roberts said Patron and the Canadian Nationalist Party have been on her group's radar since soon after the party's founding in 2017. Despite protests from anti-hate groups, the party achieved official status in 2019 and ran candidates in Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario.
