They call themselves the Three Percent. They’re armed, say they’re ready for war on Canadian soil, and experts say they are dangerous.

In front of Calgary City Hall, a couple dozen of them stood shoulder-to-shoulder in an attempt to make an unbreakable human wall. Each of them wore a uniform consisting of a black T-shirt emblazoned with a Roman helmet—a look that wouldn't be out of place in a biker gang.

This was effectively the III% Alberta's coming out party—a planned operation that they called "Operation Shock N Awe"—and a show of force by a far-right anti-Islamic organization that claims to be heavily armed and ready for "war" on Canadian soil.

The Albertan group claims to meet on a weekly basis to train with live ammunition and prepare themselves for when the "#### hits the fan." The group's attention shifts constantly, but it seemingly revolves around hating on Antifa, the influx of refugees crossing Canada's borders and, most prominently, the possibility of a Islamic terrorist attack. Unlike the Soldiers of Odin, or other like-minded groups, the III%ers don't seem to feel the need to play coy with their hatred of Islam.

Welling told VICE that "anti-Islam" would be a fair description of the group's beliefs. From talking to Welling and seeing frequent posts on their closed group, it is clear the III% legitimately think an Islamic invasion of Canada is on the horizon, and that is what they're training for—the term he used to describe refugees and immigration was "a planned, tactical citizen invasion."

"We dislike Islam and the Muslims," he later added for extra measure.

Great job disproving the xenophobic yokel stereotype guys.
