I wonder if there is ever going to be a reliable source

might not be regarded as ideal sources because of their partisanship.
We don't seem to have that problem with Don Black. Maybe if the group
is not covered in that much detail by credible, independent sources,
it is not actually that important? Sometimes we only cast glory on
these idiots by publicising their existence.
Is that likely to pass WP:BLP? "A. B. is said by
Nazi Watch Canada to
be a member of Nasty Organisation X <ref>Nazi Watch Canada
blog</ref>".
Unless Nazi Watch Canada (in this case a website called
CanadianContent - "news and rants from the other side") has a long and
glorious record of scrupulous fairness, I'd be very wary of
single-sourcing a claim to them.
And actually the cited source explicitly states that she did *not*
join the Heritage Front.
