Interesting that all of the major papers in Alberta are owned by post media. Are there any Canadian papers in Calgary or Edmonton? Or just right wing propaganda?

    That's one of the defining features of fascism.

    For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle. Thus pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. It is bad because life is permanent warfare. This, however, brings about an Armageddon complex. Since enemies have to be defeated, there must be a final battle, after which the movement will have control of the world. But such a “final solution” implies a further era of peace, a Golden Age, which contradicts the principle of permanent war. No fascist leader has ever succeeded in solving this predicament.
