I didn't read all of this piece but the bit about the flag at the end is hilariously ill-researched. It's very obviously a photo of tourists at BC's Ft.Langley history museum posing with the old Hudson's Bay Co flag—which is different from the red ensign. tgam.ca/2XV6NO1
Okay here is a thread in which I, a British Columbian, will help the Globe and Mail. Here is the scary photo they use in the piece and how they describe it. 
This is not accurate. This is a photo of people posing outside the manager's house at the Fort Langley National Historic Site in Langley, BC. Here is a photo of what the Globe simply refers to as "a large, white house."
Likewise, the flag they are holding is a historic artifact from the museum, the old flag of the Hudson's Bay Company. As you can see it is different from the Red Ensign flag. The HBC flag is not controversial. The Bay sells merch with it to this day.
I suspect this a photo of random tourists some alt-right guy found online and pretended was of his Nazi cabal or whatever to impress his friends. It does not reflect well on the Globe that they immediately accepted his sensationalistic version of events rather than fact check.
