Volksfront fundraiser: Thanks from British Columbia

I've just received a letter from British Columbia, with regards to that white supremacist fundraiser that I wrote about back in February.  It seems like I did indeed play some role in messing up their plans to raise money for Richard Kemp.

Sometimes, you have good days, and then you have really good days.  This is a really good day.

Volksfront International Mid-Winter Gathering: Putting the brakes on fundraising for Richard Kemp

I've been delving deeper into the fundraiser that was to be held in British Columbia, hosted by the white supremacist group Volksfront International.  As you might recall, I posted about this fundraiser, noting that it looked like it had not been properly licenced by provincial authorities.

In just under 24 hours, Volksfront International announced via a forum posting that the fundraising element of the Mid-Winter Gathering had been canceled.

So what was the fundraising for?  Apparently it was for Richard Kemp, and that makes for an interesting story.

Did this blog kill the Volksfront fundraiser?

In my last post, I looked into a fundraiser planned in British Columbia by the white supremacist group, Volksfront International.

Now a new posting has appeared in a white supremacist forum that had been promoting the gathering.  Suddenly, without explanation, the fundraiser is off.

The Volk are coming to British Columbia!

That's right.  In just five days, on February 21, the Volksfront International will be having their first ever annual Mid-Winter Gathering.

There will be a raffle.  There will be poker.  There will be all sorts of fundraising.

Which makes me wonder if these white supremacists remembered to apply for their Class B gaming event licence. I'm not certain Volksfront would be eligible given the nature of their organization.

Gee, could this post put their plans in jeopardy?  Wouldn't that be a shame.

Update: Shockingly, it seems that this is exactly what has happened.  Within 24 hours of this post going up, Volksfront International announces there will be no fundraising at the Mid-Winter Gathering.
