who was in a stage of continuous rage, sounded like a winger. He stuck around long enough to claim DU'ers didn't know anything about Panama, and claim that he knew everything, then he disappeared. The idea of people like him being racists who spend some of their time in Latin America seemed, unfortunately, familiar. I looked for a photo of James Alexander McQuirter, found this one, in an article written in French. The second image shows an area in the West on both sides of the border where there's a concentration of Klanners. Here's some of the text, after a run through the old faithful Google translator: ~snip~ Although the Klan Alberta has been short-lived, it is to root an attempt to be less innocent. During the sixties and seventies, the city of Toronto is host to many extremist groups may have different names but with similar ideologies. Whether the Canadian Nazi Party John Beattie (supported by the European fascist groups), the Canadian National Socialist Party, the Edmund Burke Society Andrews of the duo-Fromm (cell of "intellectuals", assisted by ' a wing army), the Nationalist Party or Western Guards, as violent groups. These include especially with several attacks against blacks in television studios and radio barbouille places of adopting the swastika and fascist salvation. The Guards, strong one hundred members, had an incredible impact on the visibility of the extreme right at home because of this radiance. They inspire the Klan at two levels; ideologically, the Guards adopt all the values of tinted Nazi white supremacists and organizationally speaking, well-defined structure will serve as a "breeding ground for fascist movement" (Sher, 1983: p. 75) and school crime. Indeed, one quarter the number of Klan come directly from former Guards, among them Don Andrews, John Taylor, Wolfgang Droege, Jacob Prins, Martin Weiche, Armand Siksna and especially the young James Alexander McQuirter.
The Klan Toronto will officially launched in 1972 (the Toronto Sun says that "The KKK is in Canada"), but the prevailing poor organization and some are interested in various self Klans different. However five years later that the organization, strong former Guards ask David Duke, then Grand Dragon of the Klan in Louisiana, to come to Toronto to promote Canadian Klan (this is the issue that Duke Affiliation official of the Canadian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan). Great orator, articulated, look very carefully and very willing media tour of Duke will have a tremendous impact that will raise the number of members in a few weeks. Seeing that the members of CKKKK (Canadian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan) are aging, it is mostly around McQuirter and Droege (both aged twenty years) that the movement is called into the saddle. The short-term goal is to create "a solidified, cohesive group from what had been a loosely grouped band of individual members" (Sher, 1983: p. 85). In January 1978 the Klan reborn McQuirter organizationally and which is proclaimed new national director, or Grand Wizard. Based on proven technology at Duke, McQuirter will tour schools to promote the Klan subtly under the guise of historical presentation of the American Civil War. When the press will wind of this method, it will put in motion a big campaign thus making advertising to racist organization. After being charged with distributing hate literature, and Droege McQuirter leave Vancouver in 1979 where they will create a chapter of the Klan affiliated with the Toronto. Droege, appointed as director of the Klan in that province, there remain a few years. To expedite enrollment, Droege will once again call for Duke. The Klan emerging subsidize the tour during which Duke will fifteen appearances on television and radio. In speeches Duke (which always portrayed the Klan as a non-violent) the main preoccupation of the Klan focus on the Immigration (limiting the non-white immigration and deportation of blacks in their country of origin) . Basically, the ultimate goal of the Klan is roughly put pressure on official bodies as a powerful lobby. Because of some excesses of its past and troubling to the United States, Duke will be forbidden to stay in Canada from the following year, but the damage is already done. Interested subscribe and receive all their small membership card on which was inscribed "Racial purity is America's security." Things develop so that Droege was able some time after leaving his job to devote all its energies to the development of the Klan. As a result, Droege will be one of the main organizers of the Duke election to the post of senator from Louisiana.
In 1980 the CKKKK made its appearance in the directory Toronto and printed his own newspaper, the Ku Klux Klan Canada Action Report. Before that date, Canadians wishing to join the Klan had to call in Louisiana, so the CKKKK opened his own office in Toronto and acquired a phone number as an independent body. The city seemed like the most appropriate workplace organizers. There were several fascist groups and nearly a quarter of all Canadian immigrants (There are also more hundred and fifty miles black). With its neat appearance of young first and charisma, McQuirter become the sole "spokeman" of the Klan. On the advice of Duke, it will prohibit all statements to other members of the Klan in order to make a "media campaign" well controlled, efficient and stir. McQuirter learn much Duke and make one of its strengths. In this regard, McQuirter say that without the involuntary support of the media, nothing could be done, "the news media really blew it up and did all our work for us" (Sher, 1983: p. 91). Hubert and Claude raise by saying that "James Alexander McQuirter leader of Canadians Knights of the Ku Klux Klan had obtained a great success media because of his personal qualities and talents as a communicator" (Claude and Hubert, 1991: p. 88 ). The biggest lesson to receive will be to find a way to have the media board and be a little more politically correct to join a new customer (xenophobes, for example). So rather than being anti-black, the new Klan displayed pro-white! This gives a more positive connotation and less shocking. Given all the efforts of Duke, Sher raises that "despite the undeniable inspirational, political and organizational influence of the American KKK, the Klan was reborn Canadian distinctly Canadian" (Sher, 1983: p. 93). In contrast to the Klan Prairie of the twenties and thirties, heads and members of the Klan were dorénavantcanadiens.
Although CKKKK always remained very discreet about its structure, this version is not much different from previous. Thus, the Grand Wizard (McQuirter) dominated the Great Dragons, each responsible for a province (one realm). They led the Giants (responsible for a region). The name of "region" was awarded when there were several chapters (dens) in the same territory. Finally, the heads of the base were Den Commanders who commanded cells from six to thirty members. In addition, Youth Groups, regrouping young fourteen to seventeen years, had been set up outside the usual hierarchy.
