Survey: Nearly half of Canadians think US has a large number of neo-Nazis
A survey released Thursday finds that nearly 5 in 10 Canadians believe the U.S. is home to a significant number of white supremacists and followers of neo-Nazi ideology.
In a Schoen Consulting poll commissioned by the Azrieli Foundation and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, 47 percent of Canadian adults said that "a great deal" or "many" neo-Nazis exist in the U.S.
Just 17 percent said a "great deal" or "many" neo-Nazis live in Canada by comparison, according to the survey. Many Canadians, however, lack basic knowledge about anti-Semitism's history. Forty-nine percent of Canadians could not name one former Nazi prison camp active during World War II, a number that included 52 percent of millennial respondents.
"The results of this study should cause great concern about Holocaust education and the gaps we have again uncovered," said Greg Schneider, vice president of the Claims Conference, in a press release accompanying the survey.
"We must do all we can to educate about the horrors of the Holocaust; it is incumbent on us to ensure that those who suffered so greatly are remembered, while their stories are told and taught by future generations."
The survey, which was taken in September, comes months after another survey commissioned by the same organization found that 41 percent of Americans were unable to identify Auschwitz, the most infamous Nazi death camp.
That survey also found that 58 percent of Americans believe a genocide like the Holocaust could potentially happen again and that 7 in 10 Americans believe people do not care about the Holocaust like they used to.
Schoen Consulting's poll for the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany collected results from 1,100 Canadian adults from Sept. 1 to 8, 2018, and carries a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

That’s an interesting survey showing Canadian viewpoints, easy to see how that happens.
The racist viewpoints part of the article remind me of a relevant statement from Andrew Gillum to Rick Santis, which could be applied to potus, in short, “I’m not calling you a racist Mr. Santis, but the racists think you are a racist”
The Holocaust part of the survey is pretty disturbing.
As far as 2723 Q st. NW goes,
The picture is interesting, reminds me of older homes in wealthier areas of St. Louis. Worked for others and also had a landscape/ design/ build business there for thirty years,
Always surprised when I see homes of high value not maintained well, especially when it would take so little to make it 100%
Multi million homes not spending an additional 500-1000$ a year for adequate weeding and pruning care. Eye of beholder I suppose.
Likely the significance is not design or maintenance related, but agency related
I never agreed with the thread's title...but now I do.

Abortion right up to birth. Disgusting.
The left is evil and they are destroying my great country.

In the second half of the twentieth century, Americans were taught to see both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union as the greatest of evils. Hitler was worse, because his regime propagated the unprecedented horror of the Holocaust, the attempt to eradicate an entire people on racial grounds. Yet Stalin was also worse, because his regime killed far, far more people, tens of millions it was often claimed, in the endless wastes of the Gulag. For decades, and even today, this confidence about the difference between the two regimes—quality versus quantity—has set the ground rules for the politics of memory. Even historians of the Holocaust generally take for granted that Stalin killed more people than Hitler, thus placing themselves under greater pressure to stress the special character of the Holocaust, since this is what made the Nazi regime worse than the Stalinist one.
My thoughts as I read this, are of those from the same era who came by ship to these shores and were turned away, the result being that most died in terrible circumstances in the second world war.G `day G
I posed this question before .
Seems relevant here .
What about the millions of Jews Stalin killed ?
That is just over looked so we can make the Germans feel guilty ?
