The leader of the BC Prosperity Project says Curtis Stone’s views don’t reflect those of the wider group.

One of the moderators of a popular Facebook page that promotes B.C. separating from Canada has been open about his white nationalist and antisemitic beliefs, and his interest in Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders.
