In the Canadian province of Alberta, a similar situation is now developing that makes it reminiscent of the GOP's fetish with fascism. For most of Alberta's history after World War II, the province had a left wing government that was consisted of parties such as the Liberal, United Farmers, and Social Credit parties. In the early 1970s, that government got replaced by a centrist government from the Progressive Conserviative Association of Alberta; that government became center-right in the late 1980s. The conservative ideology of the party made Alberta the most conservative province of the country.

In the late 1990s, the PCA began to implement austerity measures that allowed for fiscal conservation. These measures were expanded in the mid-2000s to include health and social services before the financial crisis devastated North America in 2008. As a result of the financial crisis, the ppopulation of Alberta got fed up with the PCA, which would cause Rachel Notley to be elected as premier in 2015. Although Notley was the first center-left premier of Alberta since Harry Strom (who started out as center-left before becoming center-right during his tenure), the New Democrats began implementing additional austerity measures on top of what the PCA implemented. This caused poverty to increase for many Albertans, which resulted in rising extremism in the province. The loss of support for the PCA caused the party to merge with Wildrose in 2017 to form the right-wing United Conservative Party, which was supported by the white working class who lost their jobs in the province's oil industry. Thanks to the support of the white working class, the UCP got elected to a majority in the provincial legislature in 2019, which resulted in Jason Kenney becoming premier. As a result of the UCP gaining power, fascism has arrived in Canada a little earlier than was expected. Trumpism is prevalent in Canada because prime minister Justin Trudeau continued the austerity measures that Stephen Harper put into place, which resulted in fascist parties like the CAQ obtaining majorities in the provincial legislatures.
