2025/05/01

As we struggle to make sense of the Trump resurrection and supporters of Poilievre, words seem to fail us. “Fascism,” “authoritarianism” and “populism” are bandied about, but they fail to adequately reflect how conservatives in North America seek and hold power.

Occupy Wall Street 2.0 the federal election was not. But the comeback Carney staged against Poilievre, who had built a commanding lead by echoing themes employed by Trump, was read by many as revolutionary.
