An investigation into two closed Facebook groups, whose stated goals are to bolster the base of the party, shows a growing coziness between far-right groups like La Meute and Storm Alliance on the one hand, and members and supporters of the Parti Québécois on the other — from grassroots activists to aspiring candidates to officials on the executive council.
The investigation focused on the Facebook groups PQ!!!… Rien d’autre!!! and Patriotes du Parti Québécois, with 1,544 and 2,023 members respectively.
It found that many participants, while supporters of the PQ, were also members of La Meute and/or Storm Alliance.
“We went fishing with the names of aspiring (PQ) candidates, and then saw what groups they were in, and what was being said,” said Jeff Ray, an anti-racist activist who published his findings on the blog Onjase.org.
“There are at least a dozen of these kinds of groups, but these two groups stand out. Key personalities of the far right are participating in these groups and there’s a strong focus on Islam, Muslims, ‘illegals’ and closing borders — all the themes of the far right.” (more...)
"And in Canada, ... the aim of far-right groups is not to infiltrate the mainstream parties, but to discredit them."
Conservatives are especially vulnerable, and closet Nazi provocateurs have been very successful with this tactic. Recall how the anti-sex-ed movement was undermined in Ontario.
