Alberta Loves Them Some Nazi/Confederate Flags…

May 12, 2021

Edmonton Journal: A Hitler Youth flag has been spotted flying over a second rural Alberta property in the span of a week.

On Tuesday, the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies (FSWC) said they contacted police after learning Nazi and Confederate flags were on display at a property near Breton.

In a news release, the FSWC said the property owner refused to remove the flags after being approached by Breton RCMP. An RCMP spokesman confirmed they are investigating but declined to provide further details.

“It is extremely disturbing and quite disheartening to once again see a Hitler Youth flag, as well as the Confederate flag, on display,” said Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, the centre’s director of policy.

“These displays of hate go against the values that Canada stands for and are an attack on not only the Jewish and Black communities, but also on our veterans and fallen soldiers who made unspeakable sacrifices to defeat the Nazis and preserve our freedoms.”

Meh.  Alberta.

I grew up in Alberta, spending my formative high school years at Prairie Bible Institute (PHS) in Three Hills, and these farm flags aren’t uncommon.

The western provinces are heavily white and heavily Aryan.

Last year, Red Deer Alberta RCMP officers protected a protest group of white supremacists as they rallied against the BLM movement.  Breton is halfway between Edmonton and Red Deer when white Christian extremists run the countryside.

I guess because these flags fly on private property, there’s nothing the RCMP can do, even if they wanted to.  Just do the people who live on the farm and lets fucking go.  This is exactly what we should be publicly shaming people over.
