Richard Martin Update

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

We had been kicking ourselves for jumping the gun on our big scoop. It will happen, but we shouldn't have said anything until we were sure when. Hey, we were excited. Live and learn.

So we decided that while we waited for the go ahead to publish the story, we'd add some filler. We wrote a brief profile on Toronto area bonehead Richard Martin. Little did we know what dividends would result.

Not long after we published Martin's profile did we receive the following pictures from a reader:


We then asked if any of our readers could inform us where this took place. We couldn't be more pleased with the response. We received a message with a link to a story covering this and two other attacks on the same store:

Meet Richard Martin

While we're waiting to be given the conformation that what is planned to happen has happened, we thought that we would post a very quick update.

Meet Richard Martin:


Richard is a friend of Andrew Benson. We received the following from one of our readers:

Have you seen the new photos of Richard Martin, Andrew Benson and two disgusting WP girls railing something that looks like crushed Wake Ups, giving Hitler salutes and rolling around in a communal Nazi ball with swazis drawn on their foreheads? Too funny.

Important News Soon to be Published

You have to appreciate having inside information about something big coming down the pipe that may very well rock some elements withing the Canadian "White Nationalist" movement to the core. Knowing that what is about to happen will occur so soon after David Ahenakew was found not guilty of promoting hatred towards Jews which has resulted in gloating by the likes of the Canadian Stormfront crew and VNN's Tomasz Winnicki, well, let us just say that we're going to really enjoy watching these same inviduals froth at the mouth with rage. It will be quite the show.

So what's going to happen, perhaps as soon as tomorrow?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what is known as a cliff hanger. We promised not to shoot until we see the whites of their eyes.

Stay tuned.

Aryan Guard At It Again

Most of our readers are aware of the Aryan Guard's plan for another "White Pride" day rally on March 21. This information isn't exactly old news, in fact the mayor of Calgary has already said that the Aryan Guard will not be permitted to hold their rally on city property. We know that there will be at least a few members and associates who attended last year's march and rally, such as the young man currently on trial for assaulting a Japanese immigrant, the Winnipeg Nazi mom and dad who lost custody of their children only days after returning from last year's event, our favourite loose canon Tom Trenerry, foul-mouthed Nazi kitty cat lover Jason Harley, disgraced university lecturer Terry Tremaine and a number of others may have a difficult time attending this year's events due to legal issues of conflicts with current members of the Aryan Guard.

It’s February 14. Where’s the Love For Dougie?

At least this is the question that must have been running through Doug Christie’s mind when he realized his supporters were outnumbered by a factor of almost 2 to 1.

Mr. Christie had come to Calgary to shill for the Western Block Party, an entity largely of his own creation with the aim of separating Western Canadian provinces from the rest of the country. Mr. Christie has been at this for almost three decades but has found limited success. Of course our readers also know of Mr. Christie for an entirely different reason. Doug Christie has acted as an attorney for a who’s who of Holocaust deniers, Nazis (original and Neo), anti-Semitic tax protestors, Klansmen and Aryan Nation types. In fact, a partial list of clients can be found on his Wikipedia page:

Something Interesting on Kathy Shaidle's Wikipedia Entry

It looks as if someone is doing their darndest to clean up and sanitize all the racist comments attributed to Shaidle that are printed on her Wikipedia article. Here is what was originally published before the revisions were made. And here is what it looks like now.

A Wiki user going by the handle, "Tomwindowpaine" is responsible for the removal of the section entitled, "controversy" on February 3 first claiming that it, "included unauthorized reprinting of copyrighted material." Subsequent reasons for the removal have included, "spelling mistakes, lack of citations and absence of refutation" (though the original information removed did include citations and links to Shaidle's blog).

Colour us a bit suspicious. After all, Marc Lemire edited his own Wiki article. Might Ms. Shaidle be doing the same?

Doug Christie Coming to Calgary February 14

If anyone plans to attend, we'd be very interested in any information that could be provided on the meeting.

UPDATE 1: It might be a bit short notice, but hopefully something can be organized in time.

Kathy Shaidle on TVO

Now were not exactly a big player in the Canadian blogosphere and have yet to engage in any significant war of words with the right-wing Canadian blogs that exist, but we are familiar with Kathy Shaidle and what passes as political discourse on her blog. We'll let our readers determine whether or not she's racist based on her own writing:

Bill White is So Screwed

Yes, we know that Bill White is an American and as such would appear to fall outside our self-assigned mandate to cover Canadian issues, but as part of the charges against him are as a result of his threats against two Canadians including Richard Warman, we thought we would post an update on his upcoming trial. A short summary? It ain't looking good for Billy:

Aryan Guard March on International Day for the Elimination of Racism (re-dubbed by A.G. as 'White Pride Day') - March 21, 2009

Yep, the boys of the Aryan Guard are planning another march. No surprise of course. They've even set up a Facebook group to promote it and currently claim that more than 70 of their brethren plan on attending. Of course time will tell whether or not the support they claim to have really exists. We might be wrong, but we suspect that much of the commitment they're receiving via Facebook is quite soft; when push comes to shove, a good number of those who say they'll be at the rally won't actually show. But then we'll see.

Well, the MSM picked up on the story today. The Sun Media tabloids in both Edmonton and Calgary published a story about the planned rally:
