Jim Keegstra got most of his reading material through his membership in Gostick's League.
He also collaborated with John Ross Taylor and was a mentor to Paul Fromm and an associate of Patrick Walsh, a fellow traveller who worked as research director at the CLR.
He was also associated with former Member of Parliament John A.
Gamble, who worked with Gostick as Canadian leader of the World Anti-Communist League in the 1980s.David Lethbridge, an anti-fascist activist and Communist Party member, described the CLR and Gostick as a "danger" because they soft-pedaled an essentially "fascist" message.
"What made them dangerous was that they came across as mainstream", said Lethbridge to The Globe and Mail.
