Northern Alliance (Canada)
The Northern Alliance is a far right, white supremacist organization based in London, Ontario, Canada. The group started in 1997, and has been involved in a number of public controversies. The group's leading members include Jason Ouwendyk, Tyler Chilcott, Dave Ruud, and Tomas Szymanski. The number of members in the group is not known.
The Northern Alliance was founded with the help of Raphael Bergmann, an associate of holocaust denier Ernst Zündel, who has said former Heritage Front leader Wolfgang Droege was a mentor. Bergmann addressed two gatherings of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1990s, and reportedly organized racialist rock concerts in London during the same period. Bergmann claims that he started the Northern Alliance as a "discussion group", and that its members met on an informal basis. Others have questioned this claim and have suggested that the group existed as a more formal organization from its earliest days.
Members of the Northern Alliance have met to discuss subjects such as immigration, racism and the Ontario Human Rights Commission, from a racialist and Euro-centric perspective. Many of the group's members appear to have been racist skinheads.

Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or alliance:
“The northern sky rose high and black
Over the proud unfruitful sea,
East and west the ships came back
Happily or unhappily....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
