Arcand published and edited several anti-Semitic newspapers during this period, most notably Le Goglu, Le Miroir, and Le Chameau. He received covert funds from the leader of the Canadian Conservative Party Richard Bedford Bennett (who was Prime Minister of Canada from 1930 to 1935) to operate his newspapers and propagate antisemitism. In 1934, he established the Parti national social chrétien (National Social Christian Party), which advocated anti-communism and the deportation of Canadian Jews to Hudson Bay, an idea that was inspired by his friend, noted British Rhodesian fascist Henry Hamilton Beamish, who suggested sending the Jews to Madagascar.
