Neo-Nazism In Canada
Neo-Nazism () is the post World War II ideology that promotes white supremacy and specifically antisemitism.Hamm, Mark SAmerican Skinheads: The Criminology and Control of Hate Crime Westport, CT: Praeger Publishers, 1993. In Canada, neo-Nazism has existed as a branch of the far-right and has been a source of considerable controversy for over 50 years. History The establishment of neo-Nazism in Canada has its roots with the rise of white supremacist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan which had expanded into Canada (specifically the Prairies) by the 1920s. However, as Adolf Hitler was assuming control of Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, Adrien Arcand’s National Social Christian Party dominated the white supremacist front.

Fascism In Canada
Fascism in Canada () consists of a variety of movements and political parties in Canada during the 20th century. Largely a fringe ideology, Fascism has never commanded a large following in Canada, however it was most popular during the Great Depression. During the 1930s, the Canadian Union of Fascists (CUF) was founded. Based first in Winnipeg, then in Toronto, it was led by Chuck Crate and modelled on Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists. Around the same time, in February 1934 in Quebec, the ''Parti national social chrétien'' () was founded by journalist and self-proclaimed "Canadian Führer" Adrien Arcand. The CUF split off of the Winnipeg-based Canadian Nationalist Party (CNP), led by William Whittaker. The CNP merged with Arcand's Parti national social chrétien du Canada in 1938, along with fascist groups based in Ontario and Quebec (many of whom were known as "swastika clubs"), to form the National Unity Party of Canada in July 1938.

It operated as a fraternity, with chapters established in parts of Canada throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. The first registered provincial chapter was registered in Toronto in 1925 by two Americans and a Canadian. The organization was most successful in Saskatchewan, where it briefly influenced political activity and where its membership included a member of Parliament, Walter Davy Cowan. Background The conclusion of the American Civil War in 1865 resulted in the termination of the secessionist movement of the Confederate States of America and the abolition of slavery.
