Alleged neo-Nazi goes on trial

Alleged neo-Nazi Gabriel Sohier-Chaput will be in court this week facing a single charge of wilfully promoting hate propaganda, a charge notoriously difficult to prove beyond doubt.

I’m grateful to CBC for covering this, because it feels like our mainstream media has generally been unwilling to report on the hate elements in Canada, even as they boiled to the surface in Ottawa and elsewhere. I realize these are unpleasant and dangerous people, but they’re part of the Canadian polity we need to get a handle on.
