"They meet in person, spread propaganda ... purchase weapons, and discuss training. They have also attempted to join, influence and volunteer for Canadian political parties, usually adopting a restrained and more palatable guise."https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1122179388563496961 …

One of the extremists "told the online group that he was using his position as a student teacher to influence young minds," including by propagating Holocaust denial. To middle school students.

Why is this shit happening everywhere?! I will not stand for this in my country. I can’t believe anyone but sociopaths would look at the situation in America and think any of that would be good for Canada. I expected better from my fellow Canadians.

It's as well to remember these developments are not entirely spontaneous actions by young men with a propensity for violence. The white supremacist movement is being actively encouraged by the Murdochs, Mercers, Bannon, etc. as well as Putin & friends...and Harper's IDU.

It is well-funded and promoted by Russia. These are the same tactics used to undermine independence in states that were former Soviet satellites such as Ukraine. You know...the stuff Manafort was doing,

This is one of the reasons why I fight so hard daily to get rid of potus. His rhetoric has emboldened the neo-nazis, extreme right not only in the USA but in Canada.

Speaking as a Canadian—Canada has a bad habit of following in the United States’ footsteps about 2 years after the fact.

It's like Zeitgeist shockwaves.

The far-right movement has in fact slowly been infesting Canadian politics. If the Ford brothers can be elected, it's because enough far-right influence was present enough to misinform voters.
-
The fact that Faith Goldy came third--fucking THIRD--in the Toronto mayoral election is telling enough.
-
If Faith Goldy had been a male, she would be elected by now.

TRUE I don't know how one could look at Doug Ford, who presented no policies other than "beer for a dollar," and say "yeah maybe him over the former city planner who could maybe fix the housing crisis" Insanity. Complete, bloody insanity.

Hey... At least Ontario now has buck a beer and $10M for horseracing after gutting healthcare and public school system.
And to see doctors who whined about Liberals, just to elect this dickwad is infuriating. -
Proof that just because you make a lot of money doesn't necessarily translate into knowing a damn thing about politics. I'm ALMOST hoping the People's Party becomes a thing so conservatives will finally have another party to split the vote on... but that's dangerous thinking.
-
The "P-P Party".
They are far right and perfectly sums up much of the conservative movement here. Splitting votes to lose can also be dangerous because as an official party, more people are being misinformed. I'm worried about Canada becoming 6 degrees from Trump-land.
-
Ugh, this is so true. As much as I'd love for a second Conservative party--more center, or more right--to split the vote, it either won't happen or will make things drastically worse.
