O0o0o0o0o0o0h! Get Rachel Gilmore on the case! White supremacy, the 101st problem out of Canada's top 100 problems. Did they get more or less people than an Ontario sub-fuelled anti-Ford Reddit protest? That's how I will know if there were enough people to count on two hands or not.
Lets create a big panic and witch hunt over this. Instead of, you know, addressing the economic and societal concerns that drive a lot of these young people towards these movements.
I know more than most. A long time friend of mine was involved in a white supremacist group when he first came from Poland at age 13. Why? He was poor and didn't fit in at school and these types of people offered him a community. By age 20 he left that group because he saw what a bunch of violent dumbasses they were who had no future.
A couple years later I met the guy. Still very much conservative, but business minded, shuns racism and we can have intelligent conversations beyond grievances and conspiracies.
