Thoughts on the Freedom Convoy, fascism, and the role of Mennonites from Southern Manitoba in the far right. Exploring the roots of home grown reactionaries. For anyone concerned about the continued slide to the far right among people in their communities and wondering what ordinary people can do about it.
