Likely the one girl they know who is the only one who can drive, and owns a car, had to work and couldn't drive them all into Edmonton. I'm not even joking.
About twenty, being generous, had a walk for a couple of blocks, stopped at Churchill Square and then ran underground to the LRT when a few hundred AntiFa showed up. Cops held AntiFa out and let the racists have a years' worth of boasting about the few minutes of public display they had before ducking from a united, inclusive group.

We're still waiting for information from people on the ground, however it does look like, as suspected, the boneheads didn't march in Edmonton:
Neo-Nazis a no-show at this year's Calgary peace rallyBy Stephane Massinon, Calgary Herald March 24, 2012 1:02 PM After years of annual confrontations between white supremacists and anti-racist activists at downtown rallies, this year’s version was peaceful as the city’s neo-Nazis elected not to show up.
Every year, the two square off in competing rallies downtown around the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination surrounded by a heavy police presence.
A few dozen anti-racist activists showed up, outnumbered by police, Saturday morning in front of city hall.
It wasn’t a surprise that the skinheads did not show up; the group Blood and Honour had printed flyers saying that this year’s march would take place in Edmonton.
“On the one hand that’s a definite success for Calgary,” said anti-racist organizer Jason Devine. “It shows that they’re tired of being outnumbered, they’re tired of being corralled.”
“On the flipside, it’s a displacement. If they’re not focusing on Calgary and now they’re focusing in Edmonton, to some extent the problem has been moved there.”
In 2011, a dozen white supremacists showed up for a screaming match with the anti-racists and in 2010 a handful of extremists gathered.
The largest turnout was in 2009 when 60 white supremacists confronted about 400 anti-racist demonstrators.
