Travis Patron, a Saskatchewan man with a criminal history that includes convictions for violence and promoting hatred, is facing new legal troubles. The 35-year-old former leader of the now-deregistered Canadian Nationalist Party has been charged with assault and failing to comply with probation orders.
Details of the charges
According to court documents, Patron allegedly committed an assault in Regina on February 27. He is also accused of breaching two separate probation orders on the same day by failing to keep the peace and be of good behaviour. He was released on the condition that he attend court as required.
Court appearance adjourned
Patron, who is originally from Redvers, was scheduled to make his first appearance on these charges in Regina provincial court on Thursday morning. However, when his case was called before Judge Daryl Rayner, a court worker informed the judge that Patron was unable to attend because he was dealing with matters in the Court of King's Bench, a higher court. Through the worker, Patron requested and was granted an adjournment. He is now expected to appear in court again on Monday regarding the new charges.
History of legal issues
Patron has been frequently in the news due to a series of charges and convictions. His past offenses include assault, criminal harassment, impersonation of a police officer, and willful promotion of hatred. He was once the leader of the federal Canadian Nationalist Party, which is no longer registered with Elections Canada.
Currently, Patron also faces a pending charge for allegedly promoting hatred again. The RCMP stated that their investigation into that matter began in April 2025 after receiving reports of hateful material being posted online in a public forum.
