Annual neo-Nazi march in Calgary fizzles

With the movement's foremost figure in prison for the second year in a row, an annual neo-Nazi march in Calgary has flopped. There was plenty of anger but no violent confrontation after police kept neo-Nazi and anti-racist groups apart at parallel rallies in downtown Calgary Saturday.

About 200 members of Anti-Racist Action Calgary gathered at Calgary city hall after word that the neo-Nazi group, Blood of Honour, was planning a march. But the 16 members of Blood of Honour, chanting "White Pride Worldwide" found their paths blocked by Calgary Police officers, including riot squad members, who cordoned off several streets in the downtown.

A similar barricade of officers prevented members of the anti-racist group from proceeding as well, meaning the two groups could see each other a block away. One Calgary officer said things "went sideways" during a violent confrontation two years ago and they were going to make sure that didn't happen again. Police arrested two people at the scene.

The protests ended when the Blood of Honour group gave up and hopped on a city bus and left the area.
The largest march, in 2009, saw dozens of neo-Nazis clash with a larger group of anti-racist activists. Blood and Honour has no formal leader, but it's de facto frontman is Kyle McKee, 25, an Ontario native who moved to the city in 2005.

Mr. McKee has set about recruiting young skinheads to his cause, including several from Ontario. Earlier this month in Edmonton, four Blood and Honour members were arrested for what police said were a series of hate-motivated attacks.

Mr. McKee himself was arrested Feb. 12 for threatening Jason Devine, the unwavering face of the anti-racist coalition that clashes with Mr. McKee's groups. Mr. McKee pleaded guilty to three minor charges Thursday and will be in prison until early next month -- missing Saturday's march, which his girlfriend and colleagues had tried to hold together.

Mr. Devine, meanwhile, had hoped the march would fizzle in Mr. McKee's absence, as it did. Law enforcement officials have questioned the lack of a hate crimes unit in Calgary, which has the country's highest rate of police reported hate crimes.

Calgary Police respond by saying they track hate crimes better than any other city, and spread the responsibility across all officers -- not just one unit. Calgary's skinhead subculture is gripped by infighting. Another major group, WEB, had said it would avoid Saturday's march. Unlike Mr. McKee, WEB members avoid publicity.

The Aryan Guard, the group that thinks it is still alive, along with a splinter group called White European Bloodlines (WEB) has something to prove after the year they had. The Aryan Guard founder Kyle McKee is sitting in a jail cell on attempted murder charges, and another member, John Marleau, is in another jail cell for attacking a C-Train (Canada's Amtrak) operator. A mother with ties to the Aryan Guard lost her kids to the state since she and her husband thought it would be cool to scrawl racist crap on their 7-year-old daugher's arm and tell her how to kill black people. and then there's the fact that they said they were breaking up, only to come back bigger and stronger than e-- no wait, that's didn't happen. They only came back sort of after announcing they disbanded. Anyway, they want to rally at Calgary, Alberta's City Hall on March 21, and given the trouncing the Nazis got at last year's rally, no doubt antifa are feeling their oats right about now. Now this is the same day that some Nazis have declared "White Pride World Wide Day" or something, and some group called the National Socialist Front out of Chicago also pulled itself out of the mothballs to declare a march on that weekend. The day before all of this, March 20, there is a white power show going down in Richmond, VA. Meanwhile on our side, there is an anti-war rally going on in DC that day as well. In other words, we are going to have a busy weekend in about 30 days or so! We have the call for the Calgary rally here, but soon we hope to have all the other info as well. Keep an eye on our Alerts section on the side bar. We want to wish our antifa friends well up north as they deal with this, and if they need an inspiration, we are perfectly fine if you pretend that the assembled Nazis are a US Olympic hockey team and you want a little payback (We couldn't resist)!
