*************************************************************************** Will Zuzak; GAZ_CSIS.94H = Gazette, 1993-11-26 letter to; 1994-08-15 *************************************************************************** Dear UKES and s.c.u netters: For your information, I am posting a news item in today's Montreal Gazette, followed by a letter to the editor submitted and published in the Gazette in November 1993. It appears that professional hate mongering can be a lucrative business. Will Zuzak; 1994-08-15 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paid CSIS informant helped neo-Nazis, newspaper says Canadian Press ---------------------------------------------------- Toronto - A paid informant for Canada's spy agency helped create and direct this country's largest and most successful neo-Nazi group, the Toronto Sun reports. Grant Bristow not only helped found the white racist Heritage Front, he directed a harassment campaign that might have contributed to street clashes between racists and anti-racists, the newspaper said yesterday. The Sun also said Bristow's real name and origins are shrouded in mystery. Bristow, intelligence chief and co-director of security for the Heritage Front, has been a paid informant for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service since early 1989 - before the Heritage Front's inception, the Sun said without naming sources. "CSIS created something that can't be stopped. White Canada should be grateful," the Heritage Front hotline said yesterday in response to claims Bristow was a CSIS informant. Six months after Bristow was put on the CSIS payroll, the Front was conceived, the Sun reported. And four years later CSIS was identifying the Heritage Front and its off-shoots as a potential threat to national security. Describing the group's tactics, former Front member Ken Barker said, "Grant brings the wood, he brings the kindling, he brings the match and says 'Light it.'" Intelligence sources say that during 1993, Bristow was paid $50,000 to $60,000. A spokesman for CSIS, Mark Boyer, said he could not comment about Bristow. Heritage Front members, unaware of claims Bristow was a CSIS informer until now, have consistently described him as a "founding father" of the organization. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gazette, Montreal, Monday, August 15, 1994 page A7 =========================================================================== 1993-11-26 Letters to Editor The Gazette 250, ouest rue St-Antoine Montreal, Quebec H2Y 3R7 Fax:(514)987-2399 Dear Sirs: The story in the Nov. 25, 1993 issue of the Gazette (attributed to the Saskatoon Starphoenix) titled "How justice was denied in Indian's murder" by Dale Eisler omits one of the most basic elements of the case. Namely, that the killer, Carney Nerland, was a paid RCMP informant. I do not know if the Hughes inquiry examined this aspect of the case in its report on the shooting death of Leo Lachance. However, it is to be hoped that in the future the RCMP will refrain from sending saboteurs like Mr. Nerland to infiltrate politically incorrect groups like the Aryan Nations so as to encourage them to perform violent acts and promote hatred in our society. Perhaps Solicitor General Herb Grey should be asked to explain RCMP policy in this regard.
