Fascism will keep rising if the people do not put pressure on the liberals to enact proportional representation.
Why is this fascism? Seems like good old fashioned religious intolerance and violence.
Though this article skipped some details on that aspect.

Which, let's be honest, tends to be best buddies with fascism...
The the majority of large, brutal facist and authoritarian regimes of the last hundred or two years were secular: Nazi Germany (paid Christianity lip service near the beginning but that fell off as some churches opposed and loyalty to the state became more important), the USSR, Mao's China, and other smaller non-USSR communist regimes that committed massive atrocities (such as the Khmer Rouge)
Actually fascism tends to be secular. The authoritarianism is derived from an extreme version of nationalism. The authoritarianism in theocracy is derived from religion. Fascism ≠ authoritarianism. There's a lot of other authoritarian ideologies out there. Marxism is another example.
What's the definition of liberals to you?
The Liberal party of Canada promised electoral reform (in two separate elections!) so they're probably referring to that
The ndp campaigned for it too. Parliament needs to pass proportional representation for the people so we can have more choices and more accountability.
Totally agree. I'd love to see the NDP take Parliament but it seems unlikely to ever happen with strategic voting... Probably the reason the Liberals keep going back on their promise of reform
Well if the liberals are shortsighted they will be locked out of power forever with the conservatives under Pierre Poilievre. He threatened to suspend the charter of humans rights and liberties whenever he so pleases just like the conservative premiers like Scott Moe hurting trans children.
