André Bellefeuille
André Bellefeuille (born 1930) was a Canadian civil servant who claimed to be the leader of a Canadian “Nazi” (National Socialist) movement in 1960. He took his inspiration from George Lincoln Rockwell the founder of the American Nazi Party. He first came to the Canadian public’s attention on October 30, 1960, when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's weekly television program "Newsmagazine" ran their interview with Rockwell and Bellefeuille taped earlier at Party headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Bellefeuille in the interview said he had 2,000 followers in five provinces and members meet once a month.[1] However, these claims were never verified and at the time it was unclear that an actual Canadian Nazi Party had been formed.
Bellefeuille was employed as a draughtsman with the Department of Transportation in Sorel, Quebec and for a few weeks was suspended from his job after the national news coverage. Bellefeuille was reinstated after he apologized and dissolved his "party".[2]
