The Soldiers of Odin, a European organization that has been dubbed "an extreme anti-refugee group" by the Anti-Defamation League, has begun setting up shop in Canada — but local leaders say they're not affiliated with white power.

After sparking controversy in Hamilton, Ont., earlier this summer, the group has formed a chapter in Edmonton.

About 10 men, all are wearing matching insignia on their backs, a Norse horned helmet with a Canadian flag for a beard, have been seen patrolling the city's streets at least twice, on July 23 and Aug. 28.

While some see them as protectors, others consider them glaring examples of the worst in society.
