Abstract
The appearance of the Ku Klux Klan in Ontario in the mid-1920s was viewed with concern by provincial officials; the dismissal of the Klan by one Ontario editor as “a public nuisance” does not reflect the disquiet that ran through official circles as membership went from strength to strength. The Klan’s early disappearance from Ontario, while becoming a political force in Saskatchewan, raises interesting questions about Canada’s regional political cultures in this era. This article argues that the robust Orange culture of 1920s Ontario was a barrier to political action the KKK could not overcome. A different political culture in Saskatchewan produced a different outcome.
