Since the 2008 financial crisis, this has become the same in America's satellite states due to the implementation of austerity measures by the European Union and the majority of the Canadian provinces. While those austerity measures are somewhat smaller than what America faced as part of the fiscal cliff of 2011-2012, they caused an increase in poverty that resulted in neofascist parties being elected to power in some countries, like the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Slovakia. Local governments in some other countries, like Canada, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, and Portugal, also allowed neofascists to gain power, although their federal governments are still holding at this time. But what is concerning about Canada is that most of the provincial legislatures are actually led by neofascists like Jason Kenney, Scott Moe, Doug Ford, and François Legault. The five most populous Canadian provinces have been implementing austerity measures since the early 1990s despite the federal government's recommendation not to do so. Poverty increases happened as a result, and thost two factors combined to make voters force the majority Liberal governments of Ontario and Quebec out of power two years after Trump was elected, despite losing the popular vote on all three occasions.
