'Canadian Non Governmental Militias'Bold text' 

Unlike the United States of America. There are very few Militia organizations known in Canada. The foremost is probably the Orange Order. The Alberta Ku Klux Klan is probably second, even though they have no racial basis, and are unrelated to the US group. Their last members are not even white, and their leader Tearlach Mac A' Phearson has continued a legal struggle to keep the name in his home Provence of Alberta. Since the Government of Canada introduced new firearms control laws, a number of militias have sprung forth. Unlike American militias, these groups have no legal base. They are like the Posse Comitatus, and have come out in reaction to what they feel are laws that violate the security of the person. Today, the Mohawk Warriors are likely the most obvious para-militaries in Canada. There are more secretive militias in Canada. Most of these groups prefer to be anonymous, compare to their American cousins. Some Canadian militia groups are rumored to have weapons like a 40mm Bofors cannon on the back of a half-ton truck. Like American Militias, these Canadian groups are Nationalistic in character, and not likely to engage in anti-government activities, or follow New World Order conspiracy beliefs.
