A Fair Overview of the Far Right in Canada, Oct 14 2002
This review is from: Web of hate: Inside Canada's far right network (Hardcover)
Web of Hate is the most detailed book dealing with the far right in Canada that I've read thus far. There are a number of areas of this movement that I was unaware of, such as the involvement of Canadian racists in "The Order" an ultra violent offshoot of the violent Aryan Nations that was responsible for the killing of WKOA radio personality Alan Berg and, at that time, the biggest armoured car robbery in American history. It also provides more detail in the cases of Carney Nerland and the Somalia affair (members of the elite Canadian Airborne Regiment were also members of Neo-nazi organizations). Kinsella is, on occasion, a little sensationalistic and only deals with this phenomena superficially, but then again he is also trying to market this book to the general public, not academics. Still, this is an area that hasn't been really explored in Canada, so this book is a good starting point for those who wish to learn more about hate groups in the Great White North (pun not intended).

Yeah "Web of Hate" well watch out White canadians your a right wing hateful "extremist" if you actually can about your people-race-culture-nation and civilzation. Other than basically saying canadians can't do anything other than shut at whats going on to thier country and that whites should just lay down shut up and give up in these times of absolute poltics. If you want to know why stupid books like these are written read " the culture of critique".
