“The white nationalist movement used to be very fragmented and had a lot of infighting,” Balgord said. “The reason that we’ve been warning about the size and the threat of the white nationalist movement in Canada right now is because they have managed to sort of figure out a unified and coherent strategy. And they are successfully recruiting large numbers of people doing it.”
Not good. Canada needs a broad antifascist movement, including communities and mainstream political parties, to ensure that the Nazis don’t get anywhere near as far as they have done in the USA. There’s still time but if we leave the country in the hands of neoliberals while doing nothing to counter fascism or to provide a socialist alternative, we’re leaving the door wide open to Nazis. For now though, there’s still time to disrupt their funding and their organization. And if the NDP can pick the right leader, someone who is an energetic and unashamed socialist (like Zack Polanski in the UK) it could still provide the electoral alternative people need to steer the country away from the rocks.
