Concerns are being raised after an alleged white nationalist group was seen demonstrating in London’s Old South neighbourhood over the weekend.
CTV News viewer Dave, who doesn’t want his last name used, caught video with his dash-cam as he drove west along the Horton Street underpass.
The video caught the group up on the Wortley Road bridge.
Taken Sunday around noon, the video appears to show a group of about 30 people dressed in dark uniforms and masks, standing in formation along the overpass.
They are seen holding up a banner that reads ‘REMIGRATION NOW.’
The term refers to a far-right concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants.
Viewer Dave said such a display has no place in London.
“It was a military display of force. People have the right to protest, even those people. They can have a conversation. But presenting themselves in uniforms with masks and black attire with a clear message that says, ‘all people who aren’t white should get out of Canada,’ on a banner, in a public space – I would say is more intimidation that conversation,” said Dave.
London police confirm they were called to the incident, and that the group demonstrated for about 20 minutes before leaving. No charges were laid.
