The RCMP said it is aware of an Antifa-affiliated website instructing adherents to commit crimes by sabotaging domestic rail infrastructure in British Columbia.
In a comment to True North, the RCMP said it is aware of what it called “anarchist” and “anti-authority” organizations believed to be behind a string of attacks targeting rail networks across British Columbia.
Police authorities would not confirm if they consider the website to be a part of Antifa, which U.S. President Trump
declared was a domestic terrorist organization in a recent executive order.
In an exclusive exchange with True North, the RCMP confirmed it is monitoring a self-professed
“anarchist” website B.C Counter INfo that provides how-to guides for radical protesters, including on acts of potentially deadly railway sabotage.
The
website text offers something approximating a criminal “how-to” guide for sabotaging rail infrastructure in British Columbia.
It instructs readers on specific methods to disable or damage track circuits, including cutting cables, attaching wires, or tampering with power supplies—actions that constitute mischief, property damage, and potentially sabotage under Canadian law.
The guide also encourages strategic thinking to evade detection and maximize disruption, which could amount to conspiracy to commit a crime and obstruction of justice.
It even references using burning vehicles to destroy tracks, which would involve arson, endangering safety, and possibly terrorism-related charges.
According to police and court records, dozens of track circuits in B.C. were tampered with in the months following federal approval of the Pacific Rim Gas Transmission Project in 2020.
“The RCMP is aware of the website and its anarchist and anti-authority ideologies,” Senior Media Relations Officer Staff Sgt. Kris Clark told True North in an email.
“The RCMP is also aware of ongoing efforts by some individuals and groups to delay or obstruct the work of resource extraction industries,” Clark added.
Clark declined to “speak to the specifics of any investigation,” citing ongoing probes, but confirmed “all incidents of damage to infrastructure or equipment that are reported to the RCMP are investigated fully.”
In several cases, rail safety systems were deliberately disabled, forcing trains to stop and prompting broader concerns about public safety.
Anonymous online communiqués posted at the time claimed responsibility for the disruptions, framing them as part of a wider campaign against resource extraction in Western Canada.
These statements invoked both Indigenous land-defence actions and anarchist movements, situating rail sabotage as a tactic of anti-capitalist resistance.
The RCMP investigated the incidents under the federal Critical Infrastructure Protection framework.
Unlike the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa—where many participants continue to face criminal proceedings—no charges were laid in connection with most of the rail disruptions.
