    As a Canadian, IMO: yes, essentially. Illegitimate, hell yeah, it’s a country “created” by white people on stolen indigenous land. Fascist? Possibly/probably? Definitely the government and a pretty big swath of the population is either fascist or something as bad as that. I’m not sure if the strict dictionary definition of fascist applies, but it’s a capitalist, colonial shithole for sure.

    IMO, a big thing that might make us not fit the definition is that we’re the US’s lapdog, and a lot of our policies are built around that. Our dependence on the US isn’t exactly unpublicised, and tons of Canadians are even proud of it. That kind of detracts from she whole we’re a fascist state thing, can’t imagine Nazi Germany being as dependent on another Axis Power, and it being suxh a one way relationship, as we are to the US. So maybe we’re just part of the US fascism complex instead of being fascist unto ourselves.

    The program of the Communist Party of Canada addressess this, and how we could fix it (spoiler alert, communism): https://communist-party.ca/party-program/
