im sorry, but this is all so patently ridiculous. canadians cant even be original with racism, for chrissakes. they got all their imagery, language, rhetoric etc etc from the us, these "aryans" in canada. if, one day, they were ever to wake up and realize what complete and utter douche bags they were, theyd run away and hide in shame. we should all be so fortunate.

Last night we received an email concerning Jason Devine. Seems that while he, his wife and a friend were out flyering yesterday, Kyle McKee drove by and threatened him. An excerpt of his encounter is included:
As we passed the Paradise Lanes bowling alley I looked to my right and saw Kyle's truck slowly driving by. A person with a black jacket and a black ski mask was in the passenger side and the driver was dressed the same (the ski masks looked just like the ones worn in the home invasion). The passenger was holding a brown bat and tapping in on his door. The truck sped up and stopped at the corner blocking us from crossing over or turning without going right by it.
Then the one with the bat yelled "Hey Jason, what's going on? What are you doing?" I could tell by the voice it was Kyle and he was staring intently at me the whole time and visibly angry. I had seen a man in a jeep a few feet behind us so I turned and started to sprint towards him in order to tell him to phone the police as some shit was probably going to happen. However, before I reached him I noticed that the door to Kyle's truck had not opened or closed, so I thought maybe was wasn't going to get out (though the fact he was doing this shit in day light, ski-mask, bat, his OWN truck, had me a bit spooked, like "he's crazy!").
I turned back and walked towards the truck keeping my distance. Kyle then asked "Do you want to say hello or goodnight?" I replied "What?" And he said the same question again, but with more vehemence, and emphasis on GOODNIGHT. He also beat the bat against the car rapidly and forcefully when he said that. He then asked "Do you want another visit? Do you want another visit at you home?" I replied no and they sped off. Jon and I saw the license plate when they drove off confirming what we already knew. Bonnie seen the truck speed away and immediately called my cell telling me she seen Kyle's truck and asking if we were ok. We quickly turned the corner, jumped in the van and sped home in case they tried anything there.
McKee might be getting more stupid as he becomes more brazen which we think will inevitably lead to a fall, however we are concerned with those who might be hurt along the way.
We're also aware that there are people from outside of Alberta who claim they plan on attending the March 19 rally. We suspect a group of ATB members on Hamilton may be coming, and the following news article suggests some individuals from B.C. might make the trip:
Nazi flags, white power tattoos, racially adorned clothing, racist online chatter and clustering up around common cultural activities... these are familiar sights in Prince George, The Citizen has discovered.
And local racists are getting organized.
One indication is a local white power proponent's online invitation to attend an upcoming racist rally in Calgary.
A Facebook discussion about a photo of a living room wall draped with a swastika flag posted by self-proclaimed white supremacists calling themselves Steve Corpse and Nuh'deen Amber Corpse shows how easy it is to gather support for racist views, according to David Gallant, a former violent skinhead convicted of hate-based violence turned UNBC Native Studies student.
Gallant, who is working on a Master's degree in social work, said it didn't take much online effort to find others who shared the Corpses' views.
"It's just rumblings, but right there you see a start, and there are other platforms as well," he said. The Facebook exchange pitted online acquaintances against one another.
"Your a leftist [expletive]," one participant said. "Go love the Jews who plan to destroy our race, oh wait you probably don't care. Maybe if you were properly educated as opposed to the liberal bull [expletive] the teach you in public school. My Opa was an SS soldier in the war and can tell me from first hand experience that six million Jews were not killed. But you leftists don't care cause you have been brainwashed by the Zionist occupied government Canada has. Good Night Left Side. Heil Hitler".
Gallant said the black metal scene is not innately racist but is a place racists feel comfortable to gather. Some black metal bands are outright or only thinly veiled racist as their core value.
"To create a platform you have to work on racial tension," said Gallant. "I used that in my past white power organizing. The black metal scene is a great place to do this, and there is a big black metal scene in Prince George.
"There are guys in that scene who talk openly about white power on websites and Facebook, and they get together at these concerts. It is hard and solid here, forming something organized."
The non-racists in the audience either don't notice, don't know what they are actually seeing/hearing, or consider it such a caricature that they don't act against it, he said.
A spokesperson for the Calgary Police Service said the police is aware of white supremacist gatherings in the city.
"There seems to be an annual event of that nature here in the last few years, and I believe it is expected to happen again in March," said the spokesperson.
The local public should consider themselves in danger from Prince George people attending the white power gathering in Calgary, said Gallant.
"There might be some connections being formed with the white power people in Calgary, which is really active there," he said. "The Aryan Guard [white supremacy faction] was based in Calgary but it collapsed, but there are all sorts of fragments still there, and they are getting together in the spring for a march, is what I hear."
Gallant said there is currently a loosely organized undercurrent of racism in Prince George, which forms as those with white power beliefs in common soon gather and attract others, turning the racism from passive and social to active and political.
Usually there is a strong overabundance of alcohol, illicit drugs, a gym/workout habit, subculture aggression, acceptance (even promotion) of violent tendencies, and a sense of social permission from their friends.
It means, he said, that random people could get beaten up, and social groups could be targeted for physical or vandalism attacks, and visible minorities (especially Aboriginal) could get victimized by everything from misinformation to bullying to less social acceptance to outright violence.
UNBC Anthropology professor Michel Bouchard, a specialist in race and national identity, said there are a few common problems with white separatists and supremacists ideology.
"Racial purity is a fiction at best," he said. "The idea doesn't correspond to the genetic, cultural, historical reality of the planet. Put humans of any description in the same area, and they will find a way to mix, and that happened over thousands of years to those white races these [white power proponents] commonly look to.
"Race as a purely biological concept is meaningless," he added. "Yes, some Inuit look different from someone from Sub-Saharan Africa, but the true genetic differences negate that. Those characteristics people take to mean race, like skin tone, very often is too tight of a category. If we take blood types or other genetic indicators, you find North Africans can be lumped in with eastern Europeans if you pick indicator X or indicator Y. Race, from a biological perspective, doesn't exist in a concrete sense. And from an anthropological sense, racial purity has never existed."
We are aware that there are currently plans being made for a counter rally. We'll keep our readers up to date on this.
