Talk:Fascism in Canada

This page is not a forum for general discussion about Fascism in Canada. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Fascism in Canada at the Reference desk.

Nazism is a right-wing ideology.

The consensus of political scientists, historians, and other reliable sources is that Nazism is a right-wing ideology and not a left-wing one. This has been discussed numerous times. Please see this FAQ and read the talk page archives.

Please do not request that "right-wing" be changed to "left-wing"; your request will be denied, and you may be blocked from editing if you persist in doing so.

"Nazi Party" is the English-language common name for the National Socialist German Workers Party.

Per our policy, WP:COMMONNAME, English Wikipedia uses the common name in English for the titles of our articles, and in most references to that subject. Thus "Nazi Party" and "Nazism" are the names of our articles on those subjects, and in most instances the National Socialist German Workers Party is referred to as the Nazi Party, but occasionally, to avoid repetition, by the full English-language name, or by its German acronym, NSDAP.

Please do not request that the name of this article be changed, such requests are routinely turned down.

Misleading stub

Aside from the obviously short length of the article, it's all written in the past tense, as if there is no fascism in modern-day Canada. This ideology has not gone away.184.145.61.63 (talk) 04:15, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very true that Canadian special interests and politicians support fascism abroad (Ukraine radicals and their swastikas, and Israel and Saudi Arabia (even US) to an extent can be labeled fascist), and support corporate takeovers, military build up, increased surveillance, etc (definition of traditional fascism).

There are numerous neo-fascist projects contemporary to the Canadian context including (but not limited to) Canada First (not the 1868-1874 political movement), the Proud Boys, the Diagolon network, Combat 18, Blood & Honor, New Constitution Party of Canada, James Sears' Your Ward News, Heritage Front, the Nationalist Party of Canada, and Creativity (religion). I'm certain there are more that could be dug up along with historical examples from the 1950's-2000, and that should provide enough material for it's own section. This may collide slightly with the Neo-Nazism in Canada article. Thehungrylumberjack (talk) 10:40, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Now you can add the House of Commons and Senate to the list! 2607:FEA8:86DD:5000:59B:A43F:399B:A835 (talk) 19:09, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

inclusion of the Freedom Convoy

earlier this month, an IP added a clumsy sentence to this article about the Freedom Convoy protests in Canada. their assessment of this is apt, even if their sentence wasn't perfect. imo it is a parallel worth making, so i did my best to clean it up only for a third IP to come along and undo both of us. it would be interesting to hear from the IP doing the reverting, but that's none of my business. per WP:BRD, the proper final step, discuss, was forgotten so the material has been restored. :^) 74.44.163.163 (talk) 03:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ah, seven minutes later, along comes Willondon to revert again, apparently using the edit summary field instead of the talkpage per BRD. it's the perfect opportunity for someone to call the truckers fascist at the very least. these POV warriors aren't very clever. 74.44.163.163 (talk) 03:25, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) (i.e. I was replying to this version of the talk page, where the above comment was missing the last two sentences.

(my revert was four minutes before this section was opened on the talk page)

So, I reverted because I found the addition inadequately sourced. Can you at least say which day's episode of Day 6 it is? It's unreasonable to ask someone to listen through each one to verify. They are one hour episodes, and at least two of them broadcast during the convoy. A rough time stamp would be even better. _signed,Willondon (talk) 03:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
