“A ‘support rally’ for the controversial English Defence League is scheduled to take place at the Toronto Zionist Centre on Tuesday night [January 11]. The event is being organized by the Jewish Defence League of Canada.
“Tommy Robinson, the EDL leader, will speak at the rally through an on-line hookup. It is believed to be the first Canadian rally for the EDL, repeatedly linked to violence since it formed in 2009 to counter Islamist militancy in Britain. (…)
“Prof. Goodwin said he doubts the EDL message will resonate in Canada. He said it appeals primarily in working class districts of northern England that have little experience with multiculturalism.”
