Good article in the Globe & Mail about Calgary's neo-Nazi scene:

That article is infuriating. Not sure where these idiots get the idea that Calgary is going to be such a fertile ground for their movement. The other thing is this guy obviously has been involved in violent incidents yet he will be out of jail shortly. Another great example of the Canadian justice system.

I think it's one of those things that's a vicious circle. I don't think there's anything more fertile about Calgary than anywhere else, other than for whatever reason some of these clowns decided to set up shop there. This in turn draws more flies to their #####. God knows these cowards believe in safety in numbers, as it's always a group of them breaking into some guy's house to beat on him.

According to the weather reports I've been hearing, there is a weather warning for Calgary as a buttload of White Powder is going to be dumped on us this Saturday.

Things would be a lot calmer if the neo-Nazi folks and the anti-racism folks coordinated their schedules to have rallies on separate days.

Win-win.

I can see how this could tragically affect the Ski-Enthusiasts rally...

Odds that the patheticness of the rally gets any national publicity?

I'm going at about 4000:1

G & M article:

"Late Saturday morning, a crowd of dozens, perhaps hundreds, will converge along quiet, downtown streets. They’ll wave flags, carry signs and chant slogans, all broadcasting an unmistakable, unsettling message.

White pride.

There’s only one city in Canada where such demonstrations of this scale take place: Calgary, described by many as the centre of the country’s neo-Nazi movement."

Way to go Globe and Mail! A whole 12 neo-nazis marched! You could get more than 12 people to protest the existence of fun.

it makes me angry that Calgary is portrayed that way, especially when alberta is pushing for continued foreign worker programs while Ontario east is pushing to an end.

My only hope would be that there would be 2000-1 against the protesters instead of 200.

Next year maybe I'll come down to support the anti-racism message.

It's sad Calgary is getting this reputation. I hear about it being the main place for this Nazi stuff a lot.

The anti seal hunt campaign was right across from my work in 17th Ave. I watched them from my window.
About 20 people; 90% teenage girls.

Seems like a weak day for protesting
