No. Jews at the time were demonized widely, for example when they tried to flee Nazi Germany to Canada, Liberal Prime Minister MacKenzie-King was asked how many he would accept and he said "one is too many!" and sent them back. Jews in Canada in the 1930's were basically discriminated against like blacks. National Socialism is an offshoot of fascism, and the Jewish-Bolshevik Conspiracy is more specific and the central tenet of the faith. The Treaty of Versailles is one component of Nazi grievances, but they did not and likely could not have come to power without the total economic collapse of the Wiemar Republic

As I've said, I've spent a lot of time on American libertarian militant free speecher forums, where they don't restrict anybody from joining nor speaking their minds, so you get the full spectrum, far left through the center to the far right, nobody gets censored nobody gets banned, and there are always a few openly declared fascists around in the mix.

You yip-yap a lot about fascists, but you don't seem to understand where they come from; catastrophic defeat of Italy and Germany in the First World War, followed by the Great Depression, fasicsm is largely about national humiliation, the Jewish-Bolshevik Conspiracy comes in the wake.

The Iraq War debacle was the point where the NeoCons discredited themselves opening the way for the populist take over of the GOP, which was then intensified by the fallout of the 2008 financial crisis.

I don't assert that Globalism is the skyfall, I embrace globalized free and unrestricted trade at a level far more intense than the NeoLiberals do, protectionism is a fool's errand. The NeoLiberals don't actually have the courage of their convictions.

The country will continue on the same downward spiral under the PhonyCons, at best they would make tiny tweaks at the margins, but otherwise they will basically adopt the Liberal policies as their own, as per usual.

Well, Trump is a product of the Iraq War quagmire followed the 2008 financial crisis backlash, but neither was catastrophic enough to incite full on fascism, Trump himself is not a fascist, New York liberal political opportunist riding the wave of discontent into office, and the fascists in the US who I've spoken to online say Trump is obviously not a fascist nor do they expect him to be a fascist, they just voted for him in the hopes he would curtail immigration. Mind you, plenty of non fascists I've spoken to have expressed the same desire to curtail immigration, curtailing immigration is certainly not a desire which is limited to the fascists.

Nah, I don't do the Soros thing, and Globalism is a conspiracy in plain sight, but that's not actually a project of the far left, that's the NeoLiberals.

No thanks to the teachers unions, the vast majority of which are Cultural Marxist liberal arts grads indoctrinating the little dearies into the being morally dependent Identity Politics nutjobs.

I don't pretend otherwise, I embrace nuclear weapons; keeping the Third World War at bay, since 1945.

No he didn't, all NATO forces were nuclearized including the RCAF in Europe, and in fact still are, including the CF-18's which can deliver the B61 from the NATO stockpiles in Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands. The Americans patrol the arctic with nuclear powered attack submarines, but those are not normally armed with nuclear weapons, the mission of the attack subs is to follow and if necessary sink nuclear armed ballistic missile submarines. The American nuclear armed ballistic missile submarines patrol in protected bastions in waters like the Sargasso Sea off of Bermuda The American SSBN's are not designed to hide under the polar icecap and pop up through to deliver the missiles, only the Russian SSBN's can do that, which is why the American SSN's are up there.

The metrics for the tests are completely obsolete, 19th century education which is useless to the students, the teacher union entrenched interest prevents the education system from being reformed for the Information Age, because then they'd be out of job. Teachers are at this juncture nothing more than vastly overpaid baby sitters.

No it's not, I was just testing your knowledge, the warheads were delivered to North Bay on 31 December 1963. The Americans maintained control of them on site with the 425th maintenance squadron, back in those days the Americans had forces based in Canada. But this was Pearson not Trudeau. Trudeau inherited them in 68', but he didn't return them, the unit was disbanded in 1972. Also, Canada could have bombed civilians with nuclear weapons in the event of World War Three, as that was the mission of the RCAF CF-104's in Europe, using the NATO stockpile of B61's.

While the Canadian Forces were gifted Bomarc missiles from the USA which could be armed with nuclear warheads, Canada never actually took delivery of the warheads which remained in storage in the US, so Canada has never actually possessed nuclear weapons to use on civilians.

I certainly don't understand why Canadians like you internalize the state as being indistinguishable from yourself to the exclusion of all free thought or reason. Actually that's not true, you were indoctrinated from a young age by the teachers unions, who knew?

Formalizing and accelerating the process already in progress, in order to stop wasting $20 billion a year on what is now largely a heritage project to invoke the bygone days of the First and Second World War/Pork Barrel vote buying operation to no particular practical use vis a vis the security of the state nor people.

Not sure how you got might makes right out of that, but whatever. I didn't say scale down the military, I said totally disband it, eliminate the Department of National Defence, and transfer the armed constabulary role to the Department of Public Safety.

Indeed, both nations, and in fact the British Empire itself, born of the same father, at Fort Necessity, 3 July 1754

Fascism would only rise to power in Canada in the event of a catastrophic economic crisis, but if that comes to pass, there would be nothing you could do to stop it, who you vote for in the meantime is of no consequence.

I'm not worried about the Americans, there are fascists at the margins in all Western countries and in the wake of military debacles and economic crisis they tend to gain influence, but what is going on in America today is pretty milquetoast in the context of the American Hurly Burly. In terms of Canadian democracy, it's basically just a kiddie table version of what's going on down there, same paradigm, without the courage of convictions. As per usual, as Canadians lack a distinct culture outside of Quebec, they basically try to emulate the Americans to fill the void, the main difference is that in Canada the far leftist pseudo-Bolsheviks are dominant with no real opposition.

Not at all, I respect the Mohawks and understand why they don't want the Feds messing with them, but part of the reason that they would be able to bring the Windsor-Quebec corridor to a grinding halt with a relatively tiny number of warriors is the political reality that the public would not tolerate rolling over them with the army unrestrained.

I'm used to American libertarian militant free speech forums with almost no moderation at all, so this forum is like a knitting club in comparison, but I don't mind, I can play it either way, and as B-C2004 said, more focus on playing the ball, free for alls can be fun, but it gets boring after awhile, been there done that. That being said, if it's like Cultural Marxist power tripping where the moderator is shutting people down based on absurd claims of offence as a weaponized fallacy, that's not worth my time.

In fact, that's what they should do, because Zoolander is already yielding diminishing returns and getting on the public's nerves, now would be a good time to get rid of him, lefties ain't voting for Sheer and the Cat in the Hat is no threat to them, they should replace the Little Dauphin with an adult in the room. The biggest mistake Canadian parties make is sticking with the same leader for too long, leading to them being annihilated in the end, that's not how a Westminster Parliament works, they should change leaders early and often, now that most of the electorate is locked in to their ideological camps with nowhere else to go.

I love how I'm the "Fake Canadian" while the supposedly real Canadians around here don't even understand how their beloved federal government works, the PM has no authority but Parliamentary Supremacy, the MP's don't need him, he needs the MP's, they could take him down in a matter of minutes.

Only if they are in Cabinet, the Prime Minister is the Queen's executive, the position of Liberal party leader is not an executive position, and if a Prime Minister starts trying to strong arm MP's, they'll just cross the floor to the Tories, so any threats of consequences he would make would be empty.
