Harper’s swift support of a neo-Nazi beachhead far more advanced than the inroads Golden Dawn has made in Greece, or Jobbik in Hungary, may suggest to Canadians that there is something very abnormal about Canada’s current political norm. Even in France the far-right is having to struggle for votes, claiming as an excuse for fascism the threat of Islamic immigration, the protection of Christian French culture, the social burden of Roma people whom the French government again continues to ethnically “cleanse” despite advances in the country’s awareness of laws against genocide. There is the inevitable rise in anti-Semitism which accompanies corporate populism as a society divests itself of its vulnerable for cheap votes. The rise of national socialism in Germany of the 1930′s and in Mussolini’s Italy was accompanied by programs for the national infrastructure and the people. As Canada is moved toward fascism there is no pretext of care for the people. Social services for the people are being cut. The medical care system is being dehumanized. Veterans are disenfranchised, neglected, denied their rights and pensions. State resources are being privatized. Information is suppressed. A Supreme Court ruling was required to stop the Prime Minister from illegally packing the high court. The press is at the service of economic policy. Neo-conservative action teams warp democracy to the self service of a few. The constant is: interests of the people are sacrificed to the economic interests of private corporations. The government is ruling for an economic elite. As with the rise of Hitler’s Nazi party in Germany, the opposition parties are fundamentally cooperative with the right wing agressor as if all are paid by the same master.
