Countering Hate on the Internet – the Canadian Experience

By Richard Warman, legal expert

 

 

Maritimes

In 2004, PEI resident Ms. Danni Dalton had briefly established a now-inactive website called www.88wp.com.  Participants used the forum to discuss topics related to the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements.  In 2005, she was joined in PEI by Canadian Dan Feltmate, who moved up from Florida in an attempt to create a Canadian version of US-based music labels dedicated to the promotion and sale of movement-related music and trinkets.  The site was to be located at www.triskelionmusic.com and announced its intention to try to replicate the efforts of the now-defunct US label Panzerfaust.  Its aim was to create a 5-song sampler CD filled with a variety of movement-related music, for free distribution to young people in an attempt to draw them in to the movement.

 

This budding relationship appears to have fallen on hard times, and the announced plans seem to have been stalled, since Feltmate indicated in November 2005 that he has returned to Florida, while the briefly operational Triskelion website is now devoid of content.

 

Apart from this, there were scattered postings to various Internet neo-Nazi forums during 2005 by individuals claiming to reside in Halifax, Moncton, and Fredericton, but no significant activity beyond this has been noticeable.
