Flag used in Toronto

image by Tomislav Todorovic, 5 June 2021

A flag with the design combining Canadian and neo-Nazi symbols was used at an ultra-rightist rally which took place at Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto on 2017-10-21 [1, 2]. It was bearing a small red maple leaf superimposed in the center of a large Black Sun in white, all on a red field; the Black Sun variant is the one with a disc in center, much like the original from Wewelsburg castle [3]. The actual report from the event [1] includes an incomplete and rather blurred photo of the flag, but a report from a later event at the University of Toronto campus on 2017-11-07, where the man who had carried the flag appeared again [2], displays a much clearer photo which, although also incomplete, still reveals enough details to enable the reconstruction of the design.

Quebecker neo-Nazi flag from 2018

image by Tomislav Todorovic, 6 June 2021

A flag with the design combining neo-Nazi symbols with those of Quebec was reported in 2018 [1, 2]. It was bearing a blue fleur-de-lys superimposed in the center of a large Black Sun in white, all on a blue field. The shade of blue and shape of fleur-de-lys were those used in the flag of Quebec. The Black Sun variant was the one with a disc in the center and arc-shaped non-radial segments of the "spokes", much like the original from Wewelsburg castle [3]. According to the reports, the flag was custom-made for its users in Montreal [1], to be eventually stolen and presumably destroyed by their opponents [2].
