“Fascism is characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, bigotry against a demonized ‘other,’ and strong regimentation of society.”

PM Justin Trudeau suppresses public opposition by vilifying traditional Canadians as racists and bigots. The Liberal government has established a demonized “other” among anti-Vaxxers, Trucker Convoy protestors, and the working class. Regimentation of society has been created through Covid pandemic regulations.

 “Fascism is hostile to classical liberalism and its individual freedoms of expression, conscience, and peaceful assembly. Fascism creates a divide between ‘us and them’ to deny equality to members of the bad minority.”

The Liberals are working to erode freedom of expression through internet censorship Bill C-36. Peaceful assemblies are transformed into gatherings of racists and white supremacists. “Us and them” communities are defined by the anti-Vaxxer versus Vaxxer social dynamic. Denial of equality is created through the Emergencies Act and its “frozen bank account” measures.

In his book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, Yale University professor Jason Stanley describes how fascist regimes normalize the intolerable:

“What normalization does is transform the morally extraordinary into the ordinary. It makes us able to tolerate what was once intolerable by making it seem as if this is the way things have always been.”

Canadian media maintain a thoroughly annoying habit of presenting unprecedented social developments as common place circumstances. While society has experienced its greatest erosion of personal freedoms outside a period of war, legacy media refuse to place the situation in proper historical context. If they did, long-term citizens would  recognize Canada’s shift from liberalism to pseudo-communism.

To illustrate, we turn to what media never speak of– fundamentals of democratic governance:

“In a democracy, a government of the people, for the people, should govern for the greatest good of the greatest number.”
