The United Conservative Party says it does not share the "hateful views" of Soldiers of Odin, after three UCP candidates were seen posing for photos with members of the extremist hate group. Photos posted on the Soldiers of Odin Facebook page show UCP Edmonton-West Henday candidates Nicole Williams, Lance Coulter and Leila Houle smiling while posing with some of the group's members at a UCP pub night in Edmonton on Friday. At least 10 members of Soldiers of Odin are visible in the pictures, wearing hats, hoodies and leather vests emblazoned with "S.O.O."

Members of the Alberta Independence Party & groups like the Soldiers of Odin are not welcome at UCP events, period.
