The Alberta Clann and the Threat of a United Right-Wing Movement

Abstract


 
 
 This briefing note explores the threat posed by the potential merger of the Edmonton chapter of prominent right-wing extremist (RWE) groups — Soldiers of Odin, Wolves of Odin and Canadian Infidels — under a common banner called The Clann, and what repercussions this recent growth in numbers and activity — both online and offline — characterized by xenophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry, could have on other like-minded white supremacist groups operating on Canada’s extreme right fringe.
