 Beattie organized a number of rallies in Toronto in the mid-1960s, although few actual Canadian Nazi Party members attended, and none of the rallies resulted in much support for Beattie's cause.One of these rallies on May 30, 1965, resulted in a violent encounter with Jewish activists who disrupted Beattie's rally at Allan Gardens.Beattie later found himself in legal trouble as a result of his rallies, and an exposé article was written in Canadian newsmagazine Maclean's by private investigator John Garrity, who had been hired by the Canadian Jewish Congress to infiltrate Beattie's movement.
