LIVE AT BRIARPATCH'S 50TH - Is Fascism on the Rise in Saskatchewan?
From the anti-trans "parents' rights" bill to the rise of the Sask United Party, the province is moving aggressively to the right. People are increasingly using the term fascism to describe what they're seeing. But fascism is a specific type of right wing politics, and it's not a term to be used lightly. So Alex dug in to the political philosophy of fascism to figure out whether the fash in Sask are really ascendant.
