Q
"Canadian Skinheads have been
particularly active in the Heritage
Front. The Front was formed in 1989 following a visit to Libya by 18
members of the extreme-right Nationalist Party of Canada. (The
Nationalist Party members, jointly with 25 mostly left-wing Canadian
activists, participated in a conference hosted by Libyan strongman
Musmmar Qaddafi.) Some of the 18 subsequently broke away to form a
new organization. About six of the original 18 were Skinheads,
including Peter Mitrevski, Jim Dawson and Max French, who have since
assumed elevated roles in the Heritage Front. The leader of the
Front, Wolfgang Droege, is a former Ku Klux Klansman who has served
time in U.S. and Canadian jails for drug and weapons violations and
assault. Over the course of the group's six-year existence, it has
sponsored numerous rallies and demonstrations.
