This relies on the misunderstanding that fascism is a movement let by individuals due to their ideals that can be prevented by other individuals with other ideals. In reality fascism is the reaction of one part of the ruling class to the falling rate of profit in which it pits one section of the working class against another in order to create a cheaper and more exploitable labor pool. Voting for the "not fascist" party doesn't solve this because the rate of profit will continue to fall and some section of the ruling class will always recognize that there is no other solution to that problem that does not remove them from power.

It's typically a question of who is available in the riding to run. And then they need to make it through the vetting process. And then they need to collect the signatures and deposit. And then they need to fill out the paperwork and submit it to Elections Canada.

It's a lot of effort, just to be a name on a ballot.

They're running a candidate in mine....but I'm not sure that's actually better. Guy has no experience, which isn't necessarily horrible...gotta start somewhere. He has no internet presence other than his green party page. His green party page is only accessable by web search, it's not linked to anywhere on the green party page. There's almost no blurb on his page. One line saying that he grew up in Vancouver, and then a paragraph of literally just the party standard line....my riding isn't in Vancouver.... it's close by, but a different city.
