Cooooool.

Based on what I read in the article I'm not sure what this has to do with Canadian politics because Canada's National Observer doesn't mention any Canadian politicians attending in this lengthy piece. I'm certain they would be naming and shaming the Canadian right wing politicians.

ARC’s conference will also play host to politicians, commentators, and think tanks from across the UK and Europe.

In addition to Badenoch and Farage, the listed speakers include a number of journalists for The Spectator and GB News – conservative outlets owned by ARC patron Paul Marshall.

According to the attendees list, UK government officials will also be joining the conference – including from the Treasury, Foreign Office, and Home Office – consorting with radical right-wing politicians and campaign groups.

At least a dozen UK parliamentarians will also be attending, drawn almost entirely from the Conservative Party. Their contingent will include Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith, the influential pro-Brexit campaigner Lord Matthew Elliott, and former Health Minister Lord James Bethell.

They will be joined by far-right politicians from the EU. The attendees will include elected representatives from radical right-wing parties based in France (National Rally), Denmark (Danish People’s Party), Estonia (Conservative People’s Party), Hungary (Fidesz), Iceland (Centre Party), Netherlands (Forum For Democracy), Norway (Progress Party), Poland (Law and Justice), Spain (Vox), and Sweden (Sweden Democrats).

The attendees list also features a former leader of the far-right German party Alternative für Deutschland.

A number of influential conservative European think tanks have sent their most senior executives to the conference, including from Poland (Ordo Iuris), and Bulgaria (Institute of Right Wing Politics), while there will be a substantial Hungarian contingent at the event.

Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) Brussels, a fossil fuel funded think tank, will be represented by its executive director, and the Budapest-based Danube Institute is planning on sending its president.

Both groups have close ties to Viktor Orbán’s far-right Hungarian government, which has severely restricted political, media, and judicial freedoms in Hungary over recent years, and is a global sponsor of anti-climate groups. The attendees list also includes one of Orbán’s senior advisors.
