A man known as one of Canada’s most notorious neo-Nazis is calling on followers to support a Toronto-area restaurant owner who made national headlines last week after he tried to remain open in defiance of public health rules.
Adam Skelly, owner of Adamson Barbecue, has been thrust into the public spotlight thanks to Canada’s right-wing media, which is building up the restaurant owner as a kind of folk hero for far-right protests against public health measures.
