Winnipeg club board member resigns after Canadian Nationalist Party meeting
WINNIPEG — A cultural club in Winnipeg said one of its board members has agreed to resign after it hosted a meeting for the Canadian Nationalist Party over the weekend.
The Belgian Club said in a statement posted to Facebook that a junior member of its staff took the booking without fully realizing what the party represents.
The Canadian Nationalist Party’s website touts a “Canada first” approach, which includes reducing immigration, deporting asylum seekers and banning burqas. In the group’s 21-point plan posted on their website they demand the end of the “forced displacement of the founding Canadian People,” which are categorized as having European ancestry.
The group is not a registered political party on the Elections Canada website.
