KKK plan to open klavern in Medicine Hat spurs debate
The Imperial Wizard of the Confederate Klans of Alberta told The NEWS from Calgary that a Medicine Hat klavern could form later this year or in early 1973 with more than 100 members province wide. He says the Klan in Alberta includes five klaverns in Calgary and four in Edmonton among others, while some southern centres are unnamed. The group plans to parade and lecture during the federal election campaign urging support for the Conservatives, while denouncing Trudeau as Marxist. The spokesman stresses the Klan is racist but seeks to preserve freedom, and claims openness to nonwhite members who oppose drugs and communism.
