'''Frederick Paul Fromm''' (born January 3, 1949) is a  Canadian former high school teacher, [[White supremacy|white supremacist]], [[Neo-Nazism in Canada|neo-Nazi]], and [[perennial candidate|perennial political candidate]].

Fromm is the international director of the white supremacist organization [[Council of Conservative Citizens]]<ref name=roof>{{cite news|title=Ex-Ontario teacher is international director of American 'white nationalist' group that influenced Dylann Roof|url=http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/ex-ontario-teacher-is-international-director-of-american-white-nationalist-group-that-influenced-dylann-roof|work=National Post|date=June 23, 2015}}</ref> and is the director of several [[Far-right politics|far-right]] groups in Canada, most notably the [[Canadian Association for Free Expression]], [[Citizens for Foreign Aid Reform]] and the Canada First Immigration Reform Committee.

He has hosted a radio show on the ''[[Stormfront (website)|Stormfront]]'' web site and has ties to former [[Ku Klux Klan]] members [[David Duke]], [[Don Black (white nationalist)|Don Black]], and Mark Martin, a white supremacist rally organizer in [[Covington, Ohio]]. The ''[[National Post]]'' newspaper described him as "one of Canada's most notorious white supremacists".<ref name=McIntyre>McIntyre, Mike. "Children seized over neo-Nazi allegations", ''[[National Post]]'', June 10, 2008.</ref>

Since 2018, he has been based in [[Hamilton, Ontario]],<ref name="spec"/> but he previously lived in [[Mississauga]], [[Ontario]], outside of [[Toronto]], since the 1970s.<ref>[[Atkins, Stephen E.]] (2009) [https://books.google.com/books?id=M9Uj6u6b-ZIC&pg=PA204 ''Holocaust Denial as an International Movement''] ABC-CLIO. p.204 {{isbn|9780313345388}}</ref>

==Family==
Fromm was born in [[Bogotá]], Colombia to Canadian parents,<ref name=starx>"Burke Society says violence 'manly' way to fight Communists", ''Toronto Star'', October 19, 1971</ref> and grew up in [[Etobicoke]] in a devout [[Catholic]] family. His mother, Marguerite Michaud, was of [[French Canadian]] descent, while his father, Frederick William Fromm, was of [[Germans|German]] and [[Irish people|Irish]] descent.<ref name=McLaren>McLaren, Christie. "Edmund Burke society founder Tory official backs idea of supreme race", ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', April 28, 1981.</ref> His father enlisted in the [[Royal Canadian Navy]] during [[World War II]]. After the war, he qualified as a [[chartered accountant]] and worked in Colombia for an oil company. After Fromm was born, the family returned to Ontario where his father found work as an accountant with the provincial [[Ministry of Transportation (Ontario)|Department of Highways]].<ref name=obit>Staff (June 3, 2009) [http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thestar/obituary.aspx?page=notice&pid=127973189 "Obituary: Frederick William Fromm"] ''[[Toronto Star]]''</ref>

==Teaching career==

Fromm began teaching at [[Applewood Heights Secondary School]] in 1973. During a public meeting on race relations in 1991, he said "scalp them", while activist [[Rodney Bobiwash]] of the Native Canadian Centre was speaking. The [[Canadian Jewish Congress]] and community and race relations committee chair [[Art Eggleton]] called for review of his employment; the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto called for his dismissal. Fromm said his remark was misinterpreted, and claimed to leave his politics out of the classroom.<ref>{{cite news |last=Small |first=Peter |title=Board urged to review teacher over remark |work=Toronto Star |date=26 September 1991 |page=A6 |id={{ProQuest|436471391}} }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Hall |first1=Joseph |title=Teacher's 'Scalp them' remark faces board probe Peel chairperson seeking first-hand account of incident |work=[[Toronto Star]] |date=27 September 1991 |page=A6 |id={{ProQuest|436470861}} }}</ref>

Fromm's 1990 speech to the Western Guard was shown to the [[Peel District School Board]] in 1992, prompting the board to ask the province to review Fromm's contract, warn Fromm to end his involvement with racist organizations, and urge the [[Ontario Teachers' Federation]] to establish guidelines of teachers. The OTF replied that such guidelines existed in the Teaching Profession Act, and contesting that it was up to the board to pursue.<ref>{{cite news|author=Donovan Vincent |title=Teacher's group rejects request for guidelines |work=Toronto Star |date=6 August 1992 |location=Toronto ON |page=MA2 |id={{ProQuest|436699127}}}}</ref> The board asked the Ontario Ministry of Education to review his teaching certificate.<ref>{{cite news |title=Board asks review of teacher conduct |work=Kitchener-Waterloo Record |agency=Canadian Press |date=1 May 1992 |location=Kitchener, ON |page=A13 |id={{ProQuest|275379189}}}}</ref>

In June 1993, it was announced that Fromm would be reassigned to teaching adult education, "the best option legally available to the board." The school board chair suggested adults would be more likely to act on inappropriate behaviour, than high school students.<ref>{{cite news |last=Downey |first=Don |title=White supremacist teacher moved out of high school class |work=[[The Globe and Mail]] |date=11 June 1993 |page=A14 |id={{ProQuest|385316781}} }}</ref>

==White supremacist activities==
{{Neo-Nazism sidebar|people}}
Fromm was an admirer of [[Fidel Castro]] in the early 1960s, but changed his views after coming across the writings of [[Barry Goldwater]].<ref name=starx/>

In 1967, as a student at the [[University of Toronto]]'s [[University of St. Michael's College|St. Michael's College]], Fromm co-founded the [[Edmund Burke Society (Toronto)|Edmund Burke Society]] (EBS), with [[Don Andrews]] and Leigh Smith, as well as its student wing "Campus Alternative".<ref name=Farber>[[Bernie Farber|Farber, Bernie]] and Prutschi, Manuel. "Paul Fromm" in ''From Marches to Modems: A Report on Organized Hate in Metro Toronto'', [[Canadian Jewish Congress]], 1997, pp. 16-26.</ref> The Edmund Burke Society was a [[Right-wing politics|right-wing]] [[Anti-communism|anti-communist]] group that agitated against prominent left-wing movements. The group would often disrupt left-wing rallies and events, sometimes violently. The group's main focus was opposition to the [[New Left]] and other left-wing tendencies that the Society  associated with [[communism]]. In 1970, the group disrupted a speech by left-wing radical lawyer, [[William Kunstler]], with Fromm climbing on stage and pouring a glass of water on Kunstler's lecture notes, resulting in the [[Chicago Seven]]'s lawyer drenching Fromm with a pitcher of water. A melee between EBS members and Kunstler's supporters ensued, and Fromm was knocked to the floor unconscious.<ref name=Johnson>Johnson, Arthur. "Portrait of a racist", ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', October 1, 1979.</ref>

With the support of members of the Edmund Burke Society, Fromm was elected president of the [[Ontario Social Credit Party]] in 1971, and was able to have other EBS members elected to the party's executive. Three Social Credit candidates in the [[1971 Ontario general election|1971 Ontario election]] were avowed "Burkers".<ref name=starx/>

As the New Left movement waned, Edmund Burke Society members turned their attention to issues of race and immigration and became increasingly attracted to [[White supremacy|white supremacist]] ideas. In February 1972, the group renamed itself the [[Western Guard Party|Western Guard]].<ref name=Johnson/> In 1972, after having lost the Social Credit Party presidency to James McGillvray, Fromm led a successful attempt by the Western Guard to take over the Ontario wing of the [[Social Credit Party of Canada]]. The national executive of the national Social Credit Party declared membership in the Western Guard "incompatible" with membership in the party, which led national Social Credit leader [[Réal Caouette]] to place the Ontario organization under trusteeship in order to counter Fromm's activities.<ref>"Ontario Socreds may have violated bylaws", ''The Globe and Mail'', April 5, 1972</ref><ref>[[Security Intelligence Review Committee]], ''The Heritage Front Affair: Report to the Solicitor General of Canada'', section 7.1, December 9, 1994.</ref><ref>The League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada, ''[http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/canadian/league-for-human-rights/heritage-front/into-the-mainstream.html The Heritage Front: Into the mainstream] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180918202058/http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/canadian/league-for-human-rights/heritage-front/into-the-mainstream.html |date=September 18, 2018 }}, 1994''</ref>

In May 1972, Fromm was the opening speaker at a Western Guard banquet honouring [[Robert E. Miles]], a former [[Ku Klux Klan]] leader who became a leading ideologue in the [[Christian Identity]] movement.<ref name=Farber/>  Fromm, Overfield and several others resigned from the Western Guard in May 1972, immediately after the ''[[Toronto Sun]]'' published an article on the group, which included information about the banquet. Fromm's departure left the leadership of the Western Guard in the hands of Don Andrews.<ref name=Farber/> Fromm claimed in a 1973 letter to the ''[[Toronto Star]]'' that he left the Western Guard "because of a growing radicalization of its politics and the irresponsibility of some of its activities".<ref>"Edmund Burke Society doesn't exist", Paul Fromm (Letter to the Editor), ''Toronto Star'', February 20, 1973</ref> Later, he denied ever having been a member of the Guard, saying he "never had any connection" with the organization. When confronted with his 1973 letter, he dismissed it as "a matter of semantics".<ref>"Right-wing or Racist", by Lindsay Scotton,  ''Toronto Star'', October 8, 1983</ref>

On August 4, 2008, [[Fox News]] interviewed Fromm in relation to the prosecution of right-wing Canadian author [[Mark Steyn]]. The [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] criticised Fox for identifying Fromm only as a "Free Speech Activist".<ref>[http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2008/08/07/fox-news%e2%80%99-%e2%80%98free-speech-activist%e2%80%99-is-infamous-extremist Fox News Channel's 'Free Speech Activist' is Infamous Racist Activist] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080813031909/http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2008/08/07/fox-news%E2%80%99-%E2%80%98free-speech-activist%E2%80%99-is-infamous-extremist/ |date=2008-08-13 }}, 7 August 2008</ref>

In 2010, Fromm organized small protests across the country against the admission of a group of [[Sri Lankan Tamils|Sri Lankan Tamil]] refugees arriving on the [[MV Sun Sea|MV ''Sun Sea'']]. In August he led a small protest in [[Calgary]] with members of the [[Aryan Guard]] outside of [[Minister of Citizenship and Immigration (Canada)|Immigration Minister]] [[Jason Kenney]]'s constituency office which "so terrified the receptionist that she locked the door and would not accept Mr. Fromm's delivery of a letter until police arrived".<ref name=tamil>[http://www.financialpost.com/news/White+supremacist+puts+genteel+face+racism/3402310/story.html "'White supremacist' puts a genteel face on racism"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100818160030/http://www.financialpost.com/news/White+supremacist+puts+genteel+face+racism/3402310/story.html |date=2010-08-18 }}, ''National Post'', August 15, 2010</ref> He also organized a small protest with [[Doug Christie (lawyer)|Doug Christie]] in [[Esquimalt, British Columbia]], where the boat was docked and also led small pickets later in the month in Ottawa and Hamilton.<ref name=tamil/>

===Mainstream and electoral politics===
Fromm graduated from university with a master's degree in English and an education degree. He worked as a school teacher with the [[Regional Municipality of Peel, Ontario|Peel Region]] Board of Education from 1974 until his dismissal in 1997. He temporarily tried to distance himself from groups that were visibly linked to explicitly [[Racism|racist]] and neo-Nazi beliefs. He founded Countdown, which led to the creation of three organizations that attempted to make far-right views palatable to the mainstream. Fromm was elected as a Catholic [[school trustee]] in 1976, after an unsuccessful attempt in 1974, and served on the Metro [[Toronto District Catholic School Board|Toronto Separate School Board]] until he was defeated in his bid for re-election two years later.<ref name=McLaren/> His father, Fred, was also defeated in his 1978 bid for a seat on the board.

In 1976, Fromm founded the [[Citizens for Foreign Aid Reform]] (C-FAR), which opposes [[foreign aid]] to [[Third World]] nations. The organization also deals with other issues, including crime and punishment, [[multiculturalism]] and immigration. It sponsors lectures by far-right individuals, and publishes pamphlets and books, mostly about [[Race (classification of human beings)|race]] and immigration.<ref name="Shulgan">Shulgan, Christopher. "Will he be the next Zundel? With Canada's best-known supremacist deported, former teacher Paul Fromm is working to revive the far-right movement", ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', March 5, 2005.</ref> In 1981, Fromm founded [[Canadian Association for Free Expression]] (CAFE), in opposition to the [[Canadian Human Rights Commission]]. CAFE has been active defending the rights of accused [[Antisemitism|antisemites]], racists and [[Holocaust denial|Holocaust deniers]] against prosecution under [[hate crime]] and [[human rights]] legislation.<ref name="Shulgan"/> Another group he founded was Canada First Immigration Reform Committee,  which advocates [[immigration reduction|reduced immigration]], and opposes immigration by [[people of color|non-whites]]. These three groups still exist today and are still led by Fromm. Their membership and mandates overlap, and they are essentially a single organization. Fromm's leadership of these groups has given him some access to the mainstream media, such as radio talk shows and newspapers.<ref name="Shulgan"/>

In the late 1970s, Fromm also founded Canadian Friends of [[Rhodesia]] to support the [[white minority rule]] regime of [[Ian Smith]] and his [[Rhodesian Front]]. In the mid to late 1980s, Fromm's organizations were involved in advocacy on behalf of [[South Africa]]'s [[History of South Africa in the Apartheid era|apartheid]] regime, and opposing the movement to impose [[economic sanction]]s on the country.<ref name=Caplan>[[Gerald Caplan|Caplan, Gerald]]. "In order to maintain its continuing control in South Africa, the Botha government believes it is essential to maintain current economic and diplomatic support from abroad", ''[[Toronto Star]]'', May 18, 1988.</ref>

Fromm attempted to enter mainstream political activity by joining the [[Progressive Conservative Party of Canada]]. He was elected treasurer of PC [[Metro Toronto|Metro]], a network of 31 [[Toronto]] PC [[riding association]]s on April 15, 1981.<ref name=Federal>"Federal PCs deny link to remarks by party official on immigration", ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', April 29, 1981.</ref> He angered many people and embarrassed both the federal and [[Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario|Ontario Progressive Conservatives]] when a profile in ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'' quoted him as saying that breeding a "[[White supremacy|supreme race]]" for intelligence was a good idea, and as calling for [[Vietnam]]ese refugees to be sent to "desert islands" off the [[Philippines]] and [[Indonesia]] rather than be accepted into Canada where they would "upset the racial balance".<ref name=McLaren/><ref>Shallit, Jeffrey, [http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/s/shallit-jeffrey/sr-fromm.html The Shallit Report: Lies of Our Times] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050908025319/http://nizkor.org/hweb/people/s/shallit-jeffrey/sr-fromm.html |date=September 8, 2005 }}</ref> His comments resulted in Progressive Conservative premier [[Bill Davis]] being asked in the legislature whether he is willing "to tolerate such neo-fascist, if not fascist, ideas within the Conservative Party".<ref name=Federal/> Federal Progressive Conservative immigration critic [[Chris Speyer (politician)|Chris Speyer]] said Fromm's remarks were "entirely his and certainly don't represent the views of the party or the caucus".<ref name=Federal/> Federal PC president [[Peter Blaikie]] asked Fromm to resign from the local executive, telling the press on April 30, 1981: "It's quite clear that that article, accurate or inaccurate, sets out a position which is clearly at variance with that of the party", and that the issue "has created some difficulty and embarrassment for the party".<ref name=McLaren2>McLaren, Christie. "Globe quoted racist views Fromm resigns Metro PC post at request of national office", ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', May 1, 1981.</ref>

In 1983, Fromm was an active supporter of right-wing Member of Parliament [[John A. Gamble]]'s unsuccessful bid to win the [[Progressive Conservative leadership convention, 1983|leadership of the federal Progressive Conservatives]].<ref name=Gamble>Martin, Lawrence. "Hard-liner Gamble enters Tory race", ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', March 7, 1983.</ref> Fromm's work with Gamble continued beyond his unsuccessful leadership bid, and included work in the [[World Anti-Communist League]].<ref name=Caplan/> In 1993, Gamble was rejected as a candidate for the [[Reform Party of Canada]] because of his long association with Fromm and other racist activists.<ref>Desmond, Bill, "Local Reform party stands by candidate", ''[[Toronto Star]]'', April 14, 1993</ref><ref>Small, Peter.

In the late 1980s, Fromm was an active member of the Reform Party, but was essentially expelled in October 1988 when leader [[Preston Manning]] sent Fromm a letter asking him to "dissociate" himself from the party, following complaints by party members about the racist tenor of a speech Fromm made at a Reform Party gathering.<ref>Security Intelligence Review Committee, ''[http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/canadian/sirc/heritage-front/77.html The Heritage  Front Affair Report to the Solicitor General of Canada, Section 7.7] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070716092814/http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/orgs/canadian/sirc/heritage-front/77.html |date=July 16, 2007 }}'', December 9, 1994</ref> In the [[1988 Canadian federal election|1988 federal election]], Fromm ran as a candidate for the [[Confederation of Regions Party]] in the [[electoral district (Canada)|riding]] of [[Mississauga East]], and received 288 votes.<ref>Parliament of Canada website, [https://archive.today/20130101044357/http://www2.parl.gc.ca/Sites/LOP/HFER/hfer.asp?Language=E&Search=Cresdetail&Election=9294 History of Federal Ridings since 1867: MISSISSAUGA EAST (1988/11/21)]</ref>

In 1997, Fromm was a candidate for the public school board in [[Regional Municipality of Peel, Ontario|Peel Region]]. He received 827 votes (10.39% of ballots cast), coming in last of four candidates.

In the [[2011 Canadian federal election|2011 federal election]], Fromm stood in [[Calgary Southeast]] as the candidate of the far right [[Western Block Party]] against [[Minister of Citizenship and Immigration (Canada)|immigration minister]] [[Jason Kenney]], on a platform advocating a freeze in immigration.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} Kenney was re-elected, winning over 76% of the vote, while Fromm received 193 votes, around 0.3%.

In 2016, Fromm attempted to join the [[Conservative Party of Canada]] in order to support the [[2017 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election|leadership campaign]] of [[Kellie Leitch]] due to her support for [[immigration reform]] and a "Canadian values" test for prospective immigrants. Leitch's campaign co-chair Sander Grieve wrote back to Fromm, saying: "We have not processed your membership and we will not be submitting it to the party, as we believe your public statements are not consistent with the principles of the party or the policies being advanced by our campaign."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/inside-nick-kouvaliss-fake-news-strategy/|title = Inside Nick Kouvalis's fake news strategy|date = 11 January 2017}}</ref>

In the 1990s, Fromm spoke at several [[Heritage Front]] events, including a celebration of [[Adolf Hitler]]'s birthday.<ref name=Mahoney>{{Cite news|last=Mahoney|first=Jill|date=April 20, 2007|title=Activists confront controversial educator|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/activists-confront-controversial-educator/article1074885/|work=[[The Globe and Mail]]|access-date=2021-01-20}}</ref>  A video surfaced of him addressing the rally and referring to Canadian [[Fascism|fascist]] [[John Ross Taylor]] as a "hero".<ref name=Mahoney/> Taylor was one of two Canadian [[Nazism|Nazis]] interned by the government during [[World War II]]. The video shows Fromm standing beside a Nazi flag during the Heritage Front's "Martyr's Day". The rally included shouts from the audience of "[[Sieg Heil]]!", "[[White nationalism#White power|white power]]", "Hail [[The Order (white supremacist group)|The Order]]!" and "[[nigger]], nigger, nigger, out out out".<ref name=Farber/> Fromm, a high school English teacher at the time, was reprimanded by the school board after videos of him speaking at white supremacist rallies came to light in 1992.<ref name=Rushowy>Rashowy, Kristin, "College revokes extremist's licence to teach in Ontario", ''Toronto Star'',  November 10, 2007</ref> He was transferred to an adult education centre by the board in 1993 pending the outcome of an investigation into his activities and then fired by the school board in 1997.<ref name=Mahoney/><ref name=Bell>Bell, Stewart, "Teacher censured for racist actions," ''National Post'', November 10, 2007</ref>

In 2000, a published report alleged that developer [[Martin Weiche]], a former leader of the Canadian Nazi Party, was one of Fromm's major financial backers.<ref>DiMatteo, Enzo.

He looks as though he's waiting in the wings."<ref name="Shulgan"/> In 2004, Fromm was associated with [[David Duke]]'s efforts to unite [[White nationalism|white nationalists]] with the ''[[New Orleans Protocol]]''. In the 2000s, he has tried to revive the display of the [[Canadian Red Ensign]] flag.

In January 2005, Fromm defended himself at a disciplinary hearing of the [[Ontario College of Teachers]] against charges including "failure to maintain professional standards; not complying with college regulations and bylaws; disgraceful, dishonourable, unprofessional and/or unbecoming conduct; and practising while in a conflict of interest."<ref name=Mahoney/><ref>Ferenc, Leslie. "On trial for political views, ex-teacher says; Fired for alleged links to white supremacists Now faces charges from profession's governing body", ''[[Toronto Star]]'', January 26, 2005.</ref>  Following three days of hearings, further deliberations were postponed. The hearing resumed in the spring of 2007<ref name=Mahoney/> and on October 31, 2007, the college rendered its ruling stripping Fromm of his licence to teach in the province of [[Ontario]].<ref name=Bell />

Fromm has acted as an advocate for [[far-right]] activists who have been called before the [[Canadian Human Rights Tribunal]] (CHRT). Among those Fromm has represented are Glenn Bahr, the co-founder and former leader of [[Western Canada for Us]], and [[Terry Tremaine]], a former [[University of Saskatchewan]] mathematics lecturer.<ref>League for Human Rights of [[B'nai Brith Canada]], ''[http://www.bnaibrith.ca/audit2005Analysis.html 2005 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120716193838/http://www.bnaibrith.ca/audit2005Analysis.html |date=2012-07-16 }}''</ref> In 2006, he represented the [[Canadian Heritage Alliance]] at a CHRT hearing in Toronto, and supported John Beck of the group BC White Pride at a CHRT hearing in [[Penticton, British Columbia]].<ref>"B.C.

Fromm has been described as a mentor to younger "far-right extremists" such as Melissa Guille and Jason Ouwendyk<ref name="Shulgan"/> and as a "'senior player' in the neo-Nazi movement in Canada."<ref>Clarkson, Brett, "Teacher finally tossed: racist loses credentials", ''Toronto Sun'', November 10, 2007</ref> He identifies himself as an advocate for "[[white nationalism|white nationalists]]".<ref name="McIntyre"/>

Fromm has repeatedly spoken at events sponsored by Thomas Robb's [[Ku Klux Klan]] faction, the [[Knights Party]].  In 2007, he was a keynote speaker at the group's White Christian Revival gathering.<ref>"National Faith and Freedom Conference", [http://www.kkk.bz What is White Christian Revival: USA], [[Knights Party KKK]].</ref><ref>"Duke, Pendergraft & Fromm Speak",  [http://www.hotshare.net/en/audio/47646-445425803a.html Duke, Pendergraft & Fromm Speak: USA], [[Knights Party KKK]].</ref><ref>"This is the Klan",  [http://www.thomasrobb.com/titk2323may052007.htm High School Teacher Turned Nationalist Hero Continues His fight on behalf of white Youth!: USA] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080919121706/http://www.thomasrobb.com/titk2323may052007.htm|date=2008-09-19}}, [[Knights Party KKK]].</ref>

On March 21, 2009, Fromm participated in a "White Pride" march organized by the [[Aryan Guard]], a neo-Nazi gang in [[Calgary, Alberta]].<ref>Anti-Racist Canada, "[http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.com/2009/03/pictures.html]"</ref>

In March 2018, Fromm was being investigated by the [[hate crimes]] unit of the Hamilton police, after posting on his website ''[[The Great Replacement conspiracy theory|The Great Replacement]]'', the white supremacist manifesto of [[Australia]]n [[Christchurch mosque shootings#Perpetrator|Brenton Harrison Tarrant]], the terrorist who killed 51 people and injured 50 more at [[Al Noor Mosque, Christchurch|Al Noor Mosque]] and [[Linwood Islamic Centre]] in [[Christchurch]], New Zealand, in the [[Christchurch mosque shootings]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Hamilton police investigating after white nationalist posts suspected mosque shooter manifesto |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/paul-fromm-1.5061974 |access-date=March 19, 2019 |work=CBC News |date=March 18, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Moro|first=Teviah|date=2019-03-19|title=Hamilton police investigating white supremacist Paul Fromm for posting New Zealand shooter's manifesto|language=en|work=[[The Hamilton Spectator]]|url=https://www.thespec.com/news/hamilton-region/2019/03/19/hamilton-police-investigating-white-supremacist-paul-fromm-for-posting-new-zealand-shooter-s-manifesto.html|access-date=2021-01-20|issn=1189-9417}}</ref> Fromm described the manifesto as "cogent" and said violence was "not the way to go, but our vile elites have made it all but inevitable."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bell |first1=Stewart |title=Police investigating after Canadian far-right website reposts New Zealand terrorist's manifesto |url=https://globalnews.ca/news/5069005/canadian-far-right-website-reposts-new-zealand-terrorist-manifesto/ |access-date=March 19, 2019 |work=Global News |date=March 18, 2019}}</ref>

==Opposition==
Fromm's "Alternative Forum" meetings have been the targets of demonstrations, and have been disrupted and occasionally shut down by protesters.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aratoronto.com/18jan07.html |title=ARA Toronto - Paul Fromm's Meeting Shut Down Twice in One Night |access-date=2008-11-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509090738/http://www.aratoronto.com/18jan07.html |archive-date=2008-05-09 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.ainfos.ca/02/jul/ainfos00273.html "Canada, Halifax, ECARA shuts down Paul Fromm meeting!"] (July 14, 2002)</ref>

On August 19, 2006, dozens of [[Anti-fascism|anti-fascist]] youths surrounded Fromm's [[Port Credit, Ontario]] townhouse, challenging Fromm to come outside.  Although he reportedly remained inside, approximately half a dozen neo-Nazis were present outside his home. Over 50 police officers were on call to protect Fromm and his supporters. The area was plastered in flyers advertising Fromm's home address and far-right political affiliations. The protest ended without incident.<ref name=Pona>Pona, Natalie. "Protesters target neo-Nazi's home", ''[[Toronto Sun]]'', August 20, 2006.</ref>

On his way to an April 19, 2007 Ontario College of Teachers hearing into his conduct, Fromm was involved in a scuffle with [[Jewish Defense League]] (JDL) members in an elevator. Protesters claimed that Fromm shoved them, but Fromm asserts that the JDL members lunged at him. Police arrested two protesters, charging them with assault, assaulting police, and obstructing.<ref name=Mahoney/>

In October 2007, the [[House of Commons of Canada]] unanimously passed a resolution banning Fromm and Alexan Kulbashian from the [[Parliament of Canada]] buildings after they attempted to hold a press conference in the parliamentary press theatre. The resolution read: "That this House order that Alexan Kulbashian and Paul Fromm be denied admittance to the precincts of the House of Commons during the present session to preserve the dignity and integrity of the House".<ref>"Commons vote to ban news conference by right-wing activists questioned", Canadian Press, October 18, 2007</ref><ref>[https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/mps-unite-to-ban-2-speakers-from-parliament-buildings-1.636127 MPs unite to ban 2 speakers from Parliament Buildings], CBC News, October 18, 2007</ref><ref>"MPs pass all-party motion banning Zundel's legal representative from Hill", ''National Post'', page A5, October 18, 2007</ref>

In 2015, Fromm said in an interview posted on [[YouTube]] that he was denied entry into the United States by the [[Department of Homeland Security]].<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/08/12/canadian-white-supremacist-paul-fromm-denied-entry-us Southern Poverty Law Center]</ref>

===Libel case===
Fromm and his [[Canadian Association for Free Expression]] were sued by Ottawa lawyer [[Richard Warman]] for libelling the anti-racist activist in various online posts. On November 23, 2007, Ontario Superior Court Justice Monique Métivier ruled in Warman's favour, ordering Fromm to pay Warman a total of $30,000 in damages and to post full retractions on all the websites on which he posted the defamatory comments within 10 days. Métivier found that Fromm posted statements about Warman "either knowing the fundamental falseness of the accusations he levelled at Mr. Warman, or being reckless as to the truth of these".<ref>Don Butler, "[http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=d6a84a0b-b5af-4f45-a492-7d29dfe30345 Anti-racism activist wins libel judgment] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071129232408/http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=d6a84a0b-b5af-4f45-a492-7d29dfe30345 |date=2007-11-29 }}", ''Ottawa Citizen'', November 24, 2007</ref> Métivier added that "The steady diet of diatribe and insults, couched in half-truths and omissions, all lead up to the finding of malice such that the defamatory statements are not protected by the defence of fair comment".<ref name="appeal">Kirk Makin, "[https://web.archive.org/web/20081219100855/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20081216.WARMAN16/TPStory/TPNational/Ontario/ Court upholds $40,000 Web defamation award]", ''The Globe and Mail'', December 16, 2008</ref>

On December 15, 2008, the [[Ontario Court of Appeal]] upheld the original $30,000 defamation judgment against Fromm and added a $10,000 penalty in legal costs. Fromm posted a financial appeal complaining, "We are $17,500 behind in our legal bills&nbsp;– to say nothing of the possible $40,000 debt, if this judgment stands".<ref name="appeal"/> Richard Warman responded to news of the appeal court's ruling by saying it "sends the message that those who try to use the cloak of free speech to poison other people's reputations through lies and defamation do so at their own peril".<ref name="appeal"/>

The [[Supreme Court of Canada]] rejected Fromm's application to appeal the judgement on April 23, 2009.<ref>[https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/top-court-won-t-hear-cases-on-breast-implants-marijuana-church-1.853746 Top court won't hear cases on breast implants, marijuana church Justices reject 31 applications for leave to appeal], ''CBC News'', April 23, 2009</ref>
