To insinuate that PP may be a fascist because he observably uses fascist rhetoric doesn’t say anything about anyone, it’s reality and an important point of discussion that people should be interested engaging in. Nothing is gained but much could be lost through the outright refusal to acknowledge these real overlaps.
The conversation has nothing to do with Trudeau or the NDP. And the need to vote another party out is not an effective or historically favourable excuse for ignoring fascist rhetoric.

Trying to patronize yet again and treat any person with opposing views to yours as false or wrong, when it's your own views that need a reality check. Did you actually look up the ideology definition before going off on yet another grandstanding condescending rhetoric?

Neo-fascism usually includes ultranationalism, racial supremacy, populism, authoritarianism, nativism, xenophobia, and anti-immigration sentiment, sometimes with economic liberal issues,[1] as well as opposition to social democracy, parliamentarianism, Marxism, capitalism,[2] communism, and socialism (sometimes are opposed to liberalism and liberal democracy).[3] As with classical fascism, it occasionally proposes a Third Position as an alternative to market capitalism.[4]

To categorize the CPC and Poilievre into this is a huge stretch and just fringe fearmongering. That level of overexaggerating to say he's an outright fascist just puts you in the same fringe levels as the freedumb convoy folks calling Trudeau and Singh commies quite frankly and simply does not represent the majority of the average Canadian views. It's simply not worth discussing such types of opinions who is trying to convince us that center right conservative party is fascist. Would you go in genuine discussion with anyone claiming the Liberals or NDP to be communist?
Watching you and rubecube and other usuals trying your hardest to paint CPC and Poilievre as fascists / neo-fascists and branding anyone not agreeing as plebs, jumping up and down in anger because a few folks discussed Trudeau skipping on the Stampede, while Liberals are falling apart with MP after MP speaking out against Trudeau is classic.
