The group you're referring to is trying to raise money to support/run candidates in elections and plans to use those candidates to promote their views on a variety of issues. That's literally the same as every political party/political group ever.
Are you suggesting they're planning to subvert democracy and install a dictatorship? Control all industry and commerce? Violently suppress opposition? None of those things are supported by the article/the groups internal documents obtained by CBC.
Because basically it sounds like there's a group of people whose ideas you disagree with who are planning to run candidates in elections that you've decided to label fascists.

Attempting to create a Christian Theocracy in much the same way as Iran is to Islam.
