U.S. President Donald Trump is forming a fascist regime: dismantling unions, breaking laws, defying court orders, bypassing Congress, terrorizing immigrants, and using military force to intimidate and silence all opposition.

Canada is not immune to fascism. After WWII, Canada used European fascists as union busters and strike-breakers.

Today, a cross-Canada network of far-right groups are attacking gender rebels and immigrants. They are emboldened by politicians who falsely blame immigrants for falling living standards and by racist policies that pave the way for mass deportations and warrantless surveillance (Bill C-2).

How should we respond? Some say we should ignore the fascists (not give them attention). Others say the law will protect us. Some advise outing, shaming, and physical confrontation. Others want to out-organize them.
