Canadian ‘White supremacist’ puts a genteel face on racism
Paul Fromm’s efforts to rouse public opinion against the Tamil migrant ship began last month from his home in Ontario, with impassioned messages posted to stormfront.org, the Florida-based neo-Nazi website of which he is a “sustaining member” and radio host.
It continued last week in Calgary, when he led a group of Aryan Guard skinheads to Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney’s constituency office, and so terrified the receptionist that she locked the door and would not accept Mr. Fromm’s delivery of a letter until police arrived.
But for Canada’s best known racist agitator, things did not really get going until he reached the Pacific shore at Esquimalt, B.C., on Saturday, where the boat was docked.
There, accompanied by Doug Christie — famous as the go-to civil liberties lawyer for every top Canadian racist of the last 30 years — Mr. Fromm got himself front and centre on the national weekend news, flanked by his small group of two dozen protesters.
