The National Social Christian Party of Canada
[the Canadian fascists led by Adrien Arcand] met at Kingston, Ontario July 1st
to 4th, 1938 and changed their name to National Unity Party of Canada and
insignia from a swastika flag (and arm band) with a red swastika on a white
disk on a blue banner, patterned after the German Nazi banner to “an orange
torch bordered by maple leaves topped by a beaver in profile”, Their banner
was changed to substitute the orange torch issuing from a striped bowl for the
swastika. (See the attached newspaper photo of regalia seized by the R.C.M.P.
on order of the Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Justice when Arcand and his
lieutenants were detained under the War Measures Act for the duration of the
Second World War.) [Photograph and description of N.U.P.C. badge are copied
from The Canadian Führer: the Life of Adrien Arcand by Jean-François Nadeau,
James Lorimer & Company, Toronto, 2011] The N.U.P.C. still exists and Arcand’s
disciples are still on the extreme right wing of society.

The National Unity Party of Canada, sometimes referred to as the 'Blue
Shirts' after their paramilitary type uniforms, commonly attacked immigrants,
minorities, and leftist political groups and politicians. The NUPC boasted that
it would seize national power in Canada, but had little support outside of
Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta. During World War II the party was banned
under the War Measures Act, and Arcand and many of his followers were arrested
and detained for the duration of the war.
