Seth Bertrand was sentenced to nine months in jail and three years probation in a Windsor court room Wednesday for participating in the activities of a terrorist organization.
Bertrand was found guilty in August 2025.
Between February and May 2022, Bertrand filled out an application to join the National Socialist Order to advance its white supremacist ideology.
The court also found that Bertrand wrote offensive graffiti on the WETrans Centre and threw a brake rotor through the Centre's front window.
He also punctured the tires of a vehicle parked outside the residence of a same sex couple and left a note that said "The AtomWaffen knows who you are!"
It also contained Nazi symbols and the words "hail Hitler".
""Terrorism rooted in white supremacist ideology is not an abstract threat; it is a deliberate strategy aimed at normalizing hatred-infused violence. The discrete acts directed locally at individuals were intended to publicly call into question through violence the legitimacy of full participation in Canadian society of members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. The end purpose is to contribute to a larger destabilization," said George Dolhai, Director of Public Prosecutions. "This case affirms that offences motivated by hatred and extremist ideology have no place in Canadian society."
