Investigators in Edmonton have charged four men with more than two dozen criminal offences that police allege were motivated by hate.
Police say four men were seen handing out flyers at a transit station last month for a white supremacist rally next week in Calgary.
They were kicked off by security officers at the next station where they handed out and posted more flyers.
Police say the group went to several bars and directed hateful and racist comments at certain individuals.
Three people also complained of being assaulted.
Charges against the suspects include criminal harassment, assault, assault with a weapon and uttering threats.
The accused are to appear in court on March 17th.
Calgary police say they are aware of the group.
