Is God a Racist?The Right Wing in Canada\nAuthor(s): Stanley Barrett\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Toronto Press, Canada\nImprint: University of Toronto Press\nISBN-13: 9780802066732, 978-0802066732\nSynopsis\nGod is a racist-so goes a statement published in the literature of the Western Guard, a white-supremacist, anti-semitic group in Toronto.

Stanley Barrett points out in this disquieting study that although many of the principles of such organizations are offensive to the vast majority of Canadians, they represent a growing part of a broader political phenomenon that has recently surfaced in numerous nations.\n\n In examining the rise of right wing extremism in Canada, a nation with a traditional reputation for tolerance, Barrett considers a wide range of political convictions, from confessed fascists to essentially ordinary, law-abiding, but highly conservative .
