History

The CHA was founded by Melissa Guille in 2000. She had became involved with the far-right in Canada through her brother, Chris Guille, who had been a long-time member of the neo-Nazi Heritage Front. While a student at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario in early 2000, she joined the Heritage Front with the intention of starting a local chapter. Within a few months, however, she decided to form her own group. The CHA was formed as a broad racist group[1] that would use social and political "wedge issues" in order to bring young people to racialist politics.[2] Melissa Guille (left) with far-right leader Paul Fromm at a September 2004 rally in Toronto in support of Holocaust denier Ernst Zündel. ...
