What is the Rise of Fascism in Canada?

The rise of fascism in Canada can be traced back to the interwar period, particularly during the 1930s, when economic turmoil and social unrest led to the emergence of far-right groups, such as the Canadian Nationalist Party and the Social Credit Party. These movements often capitalized on anti-communist sentiments and promoted nationalist and racist ideologies. Although fascist movements in Canada never gained the same level of prominence as in Europe, they influenced some political discourse and contributed to the broader context of extremism in the country. Today, the legacy of these movements is reflected in ongoing discussions about hate groups and far-right extremism in contemporary Canadian society.
