Last summer I visited the museum at Biggar, Saskatchewan, which has a display and collection of newspaper clippings and other documents relating to the KKK in Saskatchewan. The main KKK agitator married the daughter of a leading Biggar merchant and for a decade or so the KKK played a significant role in backroom politics in the province. The agitator was a disaffected Catholic seminarian who vented his spleen against Catholics in general and Francophones in particular. A colony of French from France had settled in southern Saskatchewan during the homesteading era and, as they were determined to retain their culture, they attracted their neighbours' scorn. The members of the folk band Hart Rouge are descended from those French homesteaders.
