8. The Nitty Gritty: Capitalism & Fascism

In Ottawa, a protest against vaccine mandates has become an international sensation. American far-right personalities are behind its online rise.

Sky News might have sacked former Labor leader Mark Latham in March, but he still appears online thanks to a Canadian online media venture that has been at the centre of controversy involving the so-called "alt-right."

The far right is back with a vengeance. After several decades at the political margins, far-right politics has again taken center stage. Three of the world’s largest democracies – Brazil, India, and the United States – now have a radical right leader, while far-right parties continue to increase their profile and support within Europe. In this timely book, leading global expert on political extremism Cas Mudde provides a concise overview of the fourth wave of postwar far-right politics, exploring its history, ideology, organization, causes, and consequences, as well as the responses available to civil society, party, and state actors to challenge its ideas and influence. What defines this current far-right renaissance, Mudde argues, is its mainstreaming and normalization within the contemporary political landscape. Challenging orthodox thinking on the relationship between conventional and far-right politics, Mudde offers a complex and insightful picture of one of the key political challenges of our time.

Tommy Robinson, the far-right leader, was bankrolled until recently by a US tech billionaire whose company’s British clients include the supermarket giant Asda. Robert Shillman, founder and chairman of the Nasdaq-listed multinational Cognex, helped to pay Robinson’s high-five-figure salary, in the

This book comprehensively examines right-wing extremism (RWE) in Canada, discussing the lengthy history of violence and distribution, ideological bases, actions, organizational capacity and connectivity of these extremist groups. It explores the current landscape, the factors that give rise to and minimise these extremist groups, strategies for countering these groups, and the emergence of the ‘Alt-Right’. It draws on interviews with law enforcement officials, community activists, and current and former right-wing activists to inform and offer practical advice, paired with analyses of open source intelligence on the state of the RWE movement in Canada. The historical and contemporary contours of right-wing extremism in Canada are situated within the social, political, and cultural landscape that has shaped the movement. It will be of particular interest to students and researchers of criminology, sociology, social justice, terrorism and political violence.

Mark Carney won the federal Liberal leadership race in a landslide victory on Sunday, and a Memorial University political scientist believes there could be a shakeup as the party changes course.

The Liberal party just elected Mark Carney as their new leader. In the end the race wasn’t even close. He got 85 percent of the vote and his nearest rival, former deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, didn't get to the 8 per cent mark. Carney is seen by many commentators and Liberal voters as the man to handle the impending economic crisis caused by Trump’s trade war with Canada.

Who seeks to lead a country without knowing the dangers it faces?

When it comes to lying, Poilievre won’t be able to match Trump — if only because that’s not humanly possible. His lies are appropriately Canadian, by comparison: more modest in scale, less adventurous in content.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre argues that accepting classified intelligence would stop him from holding the Liberal government to account.

The conservative leader trivializes bail reforms and drug policies, issues that are serious and significant to the lives of many Canadians.

When it comes to Pierre Poilievre's relationship with the incoming American president, the early signs aren’t exactly encouraging — not, at least, if you care about Canada’s ability to resist the gravitational pull of Trump’s black hole of bullshit.
