These parties have been neo fascist from the start. For CPC that would be since Reform Party days. And for GOP, since Reagan.
The question isn’t what they are and what they believe
The question is how do we remove them from power as soon as possible?
Which is the question I’ve been repeating for years. More so since they were elected. As have many others who can recognize fascist behaviour, beliefs and values.
Some of us pay attention.

People choose to believe what they want to believe.
Often it is not the truth.
When the truth is terrifying, many look for something to exploit to deny reality. The alternative is to pay attention and prepare for what’s coming down the pipe.
For too long skeptics and deniers have refused to consider the political machinations of those who call themselves conservative have crossed the line into authoritarian territory. Some make reference to it, but never actually label it accurately. Afraid of being wrong.
Afraid of criticism.
Afraid of being called a conspiracy theorist.
But several people have been warning of fascist extremism for years. Always criticized and ignored because if we are correct, the public has been complicit in turning a blind eye and denying reality.
They did it by building a war machine. Men & male youth were indoctrinated to venerate war & conquest. Much of the economy was based on preparing for war & expansion.
They also built infrastructure to modernize. The Autobahn & other infrastructure projects employed the people.
The economic theory used was autarky. Self sufficiency. Nazi Germany wasn’t a true autarky; they did permit investment by foreign investors.
Similar to contemporary conservatives, monopolies & cartels supported the regime for economic dominance.
While people have sugar plum dreams of CPC imploding, O’Toole just appointed radical right evangelicals to his shadow cabinet. Rempel and Poilievre are Dominionists.
What we are witnessing is the frustration and determination to remove LPC from power.
What you’re witnessing is extremists discounting the vote of the majority of Canadians. Arrogantly proclaiming the majority of people’s votes don’t count. Only their CPC votes are legitimate.
Those who are most extreme are anxious to impose their ideology. That angst is being fomented by the American propaganda network and other foreign adversaries. Fox News, Sinclair, numerous SM platforms, Trump and his cabal.
O’Toole is on CBC campaigning to be PM. Right now.
Has anyone bothered to tell him the election is over and he lost?
Has anyone thought to inform him that this is a democracy and if NDP and LPC come to some agreement to ward off an election for a number of years, that’s ok.
Coalition governments (or parties that cooperate to avoid an election) are common when there is a minority government in a democracy.
O’Toole is acting like this is an illegitimate option.
He may prefer the precariousness of a minority govt, but stability has its benefits.
Stability, brought on by cooperation and compromise.
Which is the foundation of democracy. Peace, stability and prosperity through compromise, cooperation and unity.
Gladu is referring to the nonsensical “medical” advice promoted as Great Barrington legitimate information.
There are no medical professionals at PHAC stating masks and vaccines are unnecessary. The Canadian Institution responsible for public health is the authority & standard.
Solomon is providing some validity to Gladu’s “alternate facts” by not challenging her assertion adequately. Polio was not just a childhood disease. It was more prevalent in children.
It resulted in death or long term effects if the patient recovered.
@Garossino They aren’t voting against their own interests. They believe they are voting in their interests. It’s not economic stability that’s the issue, it’s maintaining a strongman white supremacy based hierarchy.
@Garossino Many people don’t understand (nor have the base knowledge to understand) cause and effect. The factors contributing to stagnant wages, recessions and climate change are complex and difficult for anyone to understand.
@Garossino People who vote for UCP and CPC aren’t looking to improve their position in life. They’re looking for a clear target to blame and a govt that will punish those who are blamed. There doesn’t ever need to be resolution. They just need a scapegoat & to feel superior.
