    There’s a difference between rejecting Liberal policies and embracing authoritarianism. Most Canadians get that.

      You mean authoritarianism like vowing to knowingly pass unconstitutional laws and use the notwithstanding clause to keep them in force? Is that the “totally not embracing authoritarianism” you’re talking about?

      I recall a lot of Americans having this same type of rhetoric when people would call MAGA fascists during Trump’s first term. Look where they are now, they’re literally already opening concentration camps.

      If you think the recent Conservative campaign didn’t use a bunch of fascist rhetoric and dogwhistles, you either weren’t paying attention or don’t recognize the early stages of fascist movements.
