Fascism and Contemporary Canada. Locating the Present Conservative Government Led by Stephen Harper. Part X

Written by Robin Mathews

Send this column to a Conservative voter.

Old Canadian Conservatism is gone. The present government in power is a gathering of neoliberal goons for whom Canadian democracy is an impediment to be erased with all speed. That is not a foolish or extreme statement … as we shall see.

One of the iconic Old Canadian Conservatives, Hugh Segal, is leaving the Senate. Preparatory to parting, he described his values, his efforts, and he revealed the richness of Old-Style Canadian Conservatism to an interviewer on CBC Radio in December. In doing so, he managed also to expose the degree to which his kind shamelessly surrendered ‘for a mess of pottage’ to “the new fascist Right”. The Old Canadian Conservatives did not go down loudly, fighting and dying to teach Canadians what the country was losing. They died instead, it seems, from over-indulgent feeding at the enhanced Pork Barrels provided by “the new fascist Right”.

That Right is everywhere in the present Conservative government. Also in December, the bulky minister of industry, James Moore, in a mood of Yuletide frankness and openness bridled at the idea of social responsibility. In a pre-Christmas interview with a Vancouver journalist Moore asked – “Is it the government’s job - my job to feed my neighbour’s child? I don’t think so.”

Since almost all the Holy Texts in the world (the Christian Bible and the Koran of Islam, just for instance) insist it is James Moore’s job (and his government’s job) to feed Moore’s neighbour’s child, we can be sure Moore was expounding the faith of the New Fascist Right in Canada.

Flagship of that Right is, of course, the present Conservative Party of Canada. It persistently undertakes attempts to destroy (by fraudulent means) Canada’s free and democratic electoral system. That tirelessly organized set of actions by The Conservative Party of Canada is no ideological accident. It is, one may conclude, part of the attempt to implant fascism in Canada.

Fascism, quite simply, is the integration of government and large private corporations to achieve a single goal: the unimpeded domination and profitability of private corporations. To achieve that goal, government must become the instrument of private corporations. They (the private corporations) must, in fact, rule – erasing regulation, public oversight of operations, public memory, environmental and human protections of all kinds. AND they must erase any possibility of public influence on public policy formed in the country.

Consider those facts….

A political party attempting to move Canada to fascism might well engage in “trench warfare” and do everything it can “to derail” any case seeking to protect the integrity, fairness, and honesty of the democratic election process in Canada.

Canada has never before seen anything like the organized, sustained, continuing attacks on fair elections and a fair electoral system as the attacks being conducted by The Conservative Party of Canada led by Stephen Harper. As a result law, investigation, and penalty for systematic violation of citizens’ voting rights and freedoms drag behind the outrages being committed repeatedly. They seem to be committed according to a grand plan. Is that possible?

Propagandists for The Conservative Party of Canada led by Stephen Harper will hedge and disinform, accuse and vacillate, deny and attack. But more and more concerned Canadians of every party and political conviction are becoming convinced that the present Conservative Party of Canada has engaged again and again in what are, in fact, criminal attempts to destroy free, honest, democratic election processes and structures in Canada. Canadians may, therefore, be concluding that The Conservative Party of Canada is a criminal organization.
