Yesterday’s Daily Mail (4 February)carries a worrying article regarding the rise of the far-right Soldiers of Odin in Finland, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3426685/Nazi-daggers-SS-hats-hangman-s-noose-night-patrol-Soldiers-Odin-neo-Nazi-led-vigilantes-vowing-Europe-s-women-safe-migrant-sex-attacks.html. The group patrol the streets of Finland at night and there is evidence their presence is causing fear within the immigrant community.
Scary and shocking.
Yes it is both of those things Tess. Is there much of an extreme right presence in Canada? I seem to remember there used to be something called The Canadian League of Rights.
I have just done a quick Google search which reveals that the Canadian League of Rights was once the largest far-right organisation in Canada but no longer exists, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_League_of_Rights. The British National Party (BNP) was, until recently the biggest group in the UK but has now greatly reduced in influence.
