PP is a populist conservative politician so he's not actively fascist, but do you know what happens when your society has a fascism-shaped hole? Politicians like PP expand to fill that hole.
I wish people would stop calling him a populist. Doug Ford is a populist. PP is pretending to be a populist and is, at best an ideological populist but populists pivot. He doesn’t. We should be referring to him as an Opportunist because it all looks like an act to me.
Oh ffs. Stop playing it down. Look at the riding he’s being given. Battle river. It’s conspiracy city. Far cry from Carleton.. I know that part of Alberta well . I’m telling you right now: it ain’t good . He went from serving coffee to the convoy to living with them.
Step off with the gaslighting. This is the type of exact crap the Americans just went through. Knock it the hell off.
The dude is aligned with trump and is a fascist. I wouldn't call them nazis just yet, but they are certainly very, very fascist.
I work in a very conservative workplace in Alberta, and when I call trump a fascist I get zero pushback. In fact, they just nod in agreement. When I say that Peter rabbithait is aligned with trump, they don't argue against that point either.
The "good ones" know their support for him is short lived, and they will have to piss or get off the pot soon. I hope goodness prevails.
Hey, just wanted to say you're right. And these people here are bad faith commentators. They push things towards hyperbolic statements in the same way the right went nuts in their own way.
Unfortunately I fear this is what we have to come to accept now until everything blows up.
No, what you're doing is lazily leveraging the nazi context for your political benefit. PP is not a Nazi for having a photo op or being tangentially associated with some asshole. It's as lazy as showing pictures of people with Epstein and calling them pedophiles because they were in a photo.
It's bullshit politics. The sad part is that you will never realize how it's your credibility that is lost. And unfortunately since you associate with certain values, you lose credibility for the whole. There's reason to shit on him for spending time with these people. But when you go hyperbolic and dramatically call him a Nazi, you lose the plot
