Well to dam bad this idiot does not live in Calgary, I'd be beating the piss out of this fucker just for jollies.
Some folks just need a good ass kicking.
This is one fucker I hope resists and the cops need to Taser his ass.

Is it illegal to display a swastika?

No, but it is in very poor taste. Or it might be a "hate crime", whatever that means. I'm fine with the police investigating to find out if there is a legitimate threat, but I doubt anything will come of it.

It is illegal in Germany, but not in Canada.
Makes one wonder.

Hey Tritium, I'll keep an eye on the papers and let you know when the Aryan Guard in Calgary plan to have their next march. Just so you don't accidentally run into them.

Hitler fills the same role in a secular society that Satan filled in a Christian one. Merely mentioing his name in mixed company is considered vulgar, and and any visible signs of professing his beliefs are sacrilege. A good percentage that would gladly march this guy to the village stockade would also gladly march Jews (or the "untouchable caste" du jour) to the nearest labour camp. Interesting, really.

Banning symbols makes you smarter? I think teaching acceptance and understanding is better than outright banning.

Maybe today's Canadians are about upholding the freedoms that Germany's ancestors were so bent on destroying.
Maybe today's Germany has a specific reason for banning the swastika that is unique to its past, cultural formation and historical awareness.
Maybe that's fucking why

lol. 
I'm guessing this is a comic fan, and would serve a fantastic bait for the Human Rights inquisitions.

The swastika has become associated with evil, only in the context of European societies. They are everywhere here in Taiwan, being a traditional Buddhist symbol(the wheel/universe/creation turning). I frequently eat at a restaurant that has several large swastikas on its sign. That merely indicates the establishment is vegetarian.

I'm fine with the symbol of the Swastika being show.
No death threat was made, no public racism... It's just an image.
Now, if he takes this to the streets and yells "Kill the N****rs", then book him.
But for now, no crime has been committed.
