I agree our far right is absolutely dangerous for us domestically, but we do not control a plethora of nukes or have the largest army in the world, our courts are not packed with Christian Supremacists, and our political right has historically flirted with extremist factions but actual policy is usually somewhere closer to the centre, so yeah it's absolutely dangerous but nowhere near the scale that it is in America. One dementia-induced order from that con-man former president (assuming he wins again) can literally end civilisation as we know it. 100% on board with what you're saying domestically though, PP absolutely cannot be allowed to form government.
Lol did you just use the freedom convoy as our version of Jan 6th? Riiiight
Yes, it was an attempt at our very own maple flavoured coup. The organizers literally had a "Memoradum of Understanding" written up with demands that the current government be dissolved and replaced with their own people.
Just because it failed spectacularly doesn't mean there wasn't the same basic inspiration behind it.
You'd think so, but that poison is spreading up here pretty quietly and quickly.
quietly? It's loud as fuck.
The world is, loudly, starting to become a little too much like the first quarter of the last century. And it isn't good, man.
Definitely not looking like we're heading for happy or prosperous times for most people.
Well their gameplan for when Brazil lost its far-right authoritarian was to let him just vibe in Florida despite charges against him, so I'm gonna say if they do have a plan, it's probably not gonna make you happy.
I hope the U.S. is mulling ‘game plan’ if Canada takes far-right, authoritarian shift.
Heh "far right" in Canada would be America's Democratic party. America's "far right" is straight up blossoming fascism.
Nah, the right in dangerous up here as well. We've imported alt-right fascism wholesale.
Even is we forget about the attempt at our own Jan 6 with the "Freedom Convoy", the most recent Conservative Party convention had them approving of policies to limit transgender healthcare and ending "forced political, cultural or ideological training of any kind", essentially a giant rejection of "wokeness" and a call to action for a return to "the good old days".
