With all of the questions and innuendo constantly being thrown at the Right, the GOP and Trump's team, Americans need to be leery of something that could easily occur, though it is far less likely in America; state funded hate.
CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, formerly an arm of the RCMP which was separated because the RCMP were caught entrapping, burning barns and engaging in other terror against Canadians, once funded a hate group. The Heritage Front was indeed a front, the #2 man in the group went by the name Grant Bristow, spreading hatred and creating a "Heritage Front Hotline" in which if anyone called, for any reason based on any influence by state agents, they would be placed on a Watch List. Really it was a blacklist, exhaustive and excessive, a simple method to obliterate the lives of many Canadian youth.
As it were, they were merrily going along funding The Heritage Front with taxpayers money for a length of time, even to the point where a man was killed outside a restaurant in Toronto confronting an anti-racist protester. The activities of CSIS were unknown to anyone, until a reporter broke the story. CSIS denied it for years, even as Grant Bristow left the group and disappeared, until there was too much evidence and Bristow himself admitted to being a CSIS agent. of course, in his words, the spreading of anti-semitism, neo-nazis, harrassment of innocent Jewish citizens and funding of this hate was "worth it". Yeah, state run agent provocateurs, well worth exactly what in a democracy apparently based on the Rule of Law?
I am not saying this would happen in America, I am saying to be cautious in attributing any hate to any party, person or political ideology. Democrats and other enemies of the GOP or government in general can easily plant so-called racists and create a big story to discredit Trump, or, any group could use any method to misrepresent, as was shown earlier when a Muslim woman recanted her story that she had been attacked by Trump supporters.
America is different as the CIA cannot operate against Americans on American soil, quite different from Canada and you have government oversight. In Canada, police and spies of all stripes can do as they please against Canadians. In fact, a former CIA agent (you can google and find the interview I'm sure) stated publicly how shocked he was with the unlimited power of CSIS to operate as they please without any government oversight. They don't even need to tell parliament what they are up to and can deny the government access to their files. How does THAT sound for democracy? You can imagine what the TPS, OPP and RCMP get away with, to a lesser degree.
Here is a quick link to some of the story of Grant Bristow, there are many of him, including years later him resurfacing and trying to interfere in the Edmonton elections, you can find it yourself, it's all mainstream.
This particular story doesn't do justice to the original 1990's article from the Toronto Sun who originally blew the whistle, I cannot find it online, but it is out there. A fascinating read of him breaking the news of state abuse, and the spooks scrambling to deny and cover their tracks. There are also old Parlaiment interviews with some of the members who spoke and ratted out Grant as something alot more than just a quiet guy, as one person put it "he was the hand that made everything work".
One final note I will repeat over and over. Considering what the RCMP and state of Canada does to it's citizens, do not shed a tear when America works to find fair trade with Canada after decades of exploitation in their companies on Canadian soil.

Grant Bristow kept silent for almost ten years about his controversial work as a CSIS spy in Canada’s neo-Nazi movement. Now, finally, he’s ready to tell his side of the story
