Because deflecting people's attention away from the abominable performance of this incompetent, corrupt and increasingly laughing stock government by playing the F (fascist) card is all they've got.

I agree with you that Leitch will not win the CPC leadership because there are more qualified, likable and electable candidates.  (Ironically, the people by about 2/3 want new immigrants to understand and subscribe to Canadian values more than they do at the moment.  And how many  support Junior's "Canada is a post national state with no basic identity" idiocy?) 

I also submit that the real fascists on this board and elsewhere are the far left .loons who instantly and viciously attack any ideas not in lock step with their own, viciously libel conservatives with made up and out of context claims that are deliberately misleading, and then scream shrilly for a "safe area" for themselves to spout their nastiness and for a banning of every poster not to the left of Che Guevara on crack.
