There is some irony in the fact that his collaboration with the conservative parties and thus his contribution to Canada's exisitng political institutions was probably of more significant influence in Canada's political history than his own movement was.
The Pierre Trudeau bit caught me completely by surprise. Not only because his son is probably the exact opposite of Arcand, but also because I sometimes don't realise how RECENT all of this was.
This validates my Trudeau hatred even more! :D But seriously, his son is not the exact opposite of Arcand except for maybe the live of privilege vs poverty.

Most people don't realize how close Canada, especially Quebec was to becoming Fascist. Arcand wasn't a nobody. I have read some literature on his writings and speeches, and he made some interesting talking points for when it comes to religion from a Roman Catholic perspective as for someone who is a little more Protestant-minded like myself. There is a book called 'Serviam' that you can order online that gave some outlines of Arcand with his own words. If you can look past the more "out there" kind of takes, it's an interesting book. Although, the book supposedly removed a very large portion of his Christian apologetics, to which was supposedly the most central part of Arcand's points. I highly, HIGHLY recommend you to read Serviam, since it gives clarification as to why Arcand disliked specifically Jews, Capitalists, Liberals and Communists, since he viewed them as Materialists against Christian spiritualists. Like seriously, wikipedia doesn't ever give you all the details, and is at times arguably deceptive. Go and read the book yourself since it also covers things like his sickness he got in prison/jail and so on.

Good video. Just a note, though: The Emergencies Act isn't the War Measures act. It's quite different. It doesn't suspend the Charter. It doesn't allow imprisonment without charges.

it may come as a surprise to many, but the part about natives, actually reminds me of how hitler actually liked natives, he even called us honorary aryans. he grew up reading german comics about cowboys and indians, that portrayed native people in a sympathic light, they were also portrayed as outsmarting the cowboys often. there's even western movies, made in germany during the nazi reign, with native american characters, also portrayed the same way as they were in the comics hitler grew up reading.

Arcand was always politically isolated and always had a very limited popular base. Even though lots of Quebecois were very conservative, the majority of Quebecois didn't support fascism. From 1948 (Refus Global) to 1962, the society quickly shifted to the left, until the progressives took power with overwhelming support in the so-called Quiet Revolution. The Quebec independence movement is generally left-leaning, despite some incursions into identity politics.
@@hdufort Quebec is still ethnocentrist and nationalist they need to be dealt with. I'm not from there but they make being French in Canada a goddamn embarrassment.
What are you talking about? His only personal added commentary on this wiki style video was him every so often doing low tier anti-fascist jabs at the guy.
I love the split of "lol hoi4 Maple Syrup Fascist" and "fuck me, this guy EXISTED?" in the comments here. What a ride, wow. Subbed for more weird shit.
It’s interesting, he went from a more catholic french « clerico-nationalism » to a more british-inspired fascism. There was front page interview with him in the Toronto Star, kinda crazy
That's because the French boat is a wooden leaky lifeboat and is weak compared to the cast iron Battleship that is European, if only Europeans weren't cowards who fear Unity. Unfortunately we French are the only United Europeans on North American soil and that is why they hate us.
@@longiusaescius2537 during the world War II era when it happened silly pants. By the way when he did run for office he only got 0.1% of the vote. It's not a supported ideology here at all. Back then or now.
So pierre trudeau criticized the emergency measures act being used to imprison fascist sympathizers during ww2 as anti democratic, and then both he and his son used the same act during their own time as PM? That is very funny, especially given how comparatively minor the reasons they used it are. Pierre did it in response to a terrorist attack by quebecois separatists and justin did it in response to a protest that killed exactly zero people.
When that act became politically useful, PET was quick to use it! « Just watch me! » Justin actually used the Emergencies Act, the successor to the War Measures act.
*Québécois man. Fun fact, our nation was a theocracy during those days, the Church controlled everything and would make sure to have you cancelled if you did anything they didn't like, they even had an index to ban books, including mant great romantic classics of 19th century France.
Outside of Quéebc they are drowning in Hindu immigration, but they like it because they are not white or french speaking. It's a lost cause. @@longiusaescius2537
12:15 How the hell corporatorism "came with capitalism", while it's a economic policy created to be against capitalism? Unions and workers councils are EXACTLY what, in economy, fascism is, as it's just another spin on neo-hegelianism, therefore socialism.
corporatism is from medieval italy it was irregiment of cartels of capitalists based on expertise (spice trade, manufacture, architecture) fascists LOVE to forget about it
@FlagAnthem Skilled laborers like artisans and smiths are "capitalists" in your eyes? Lol leftists literally refuse to understand the concept of the Third Position. You're still butthurt all these decades later than the Italian and Spanish working class preferred fascism over Marxism.
If you're looking for a Canadian for next year Tommy Douglas might be a good choice - not as extreme as Arcand obviously, but an interesting and influential Canadian political figure people outside Canada probably know nothing about.
Pierre Trudeau was kinda notorious for "not getting" WW2 in his early days (he thought it was a war of British Imperialism) so it's not THAT surprising he'd relate to the guy who was against the war. So Trudeau missed both the fascism and the fact that if WW2 really was about British Imperialism, Arcand would have thought it was based.
It WAS largely about British imperialism, particularly stopping that upstart nation Germany from achieving parity with the British Empire like they did in WWI. Do you seriously believe the British attack upon Germany was over their treatment of Jews or the Poles? If that was the case, they would have declared war on the USSR too, but they were too scared of the Russian bear. They thought Germany was still weakened by the Treaty of Versailles and that France and Britain could trounce them in a few weeks. The French invasion was quickly repulsed and the British couldn't really mount much of an effective resistance.
@@titanomachy2217 lmao sure okay pal, the French and British were so eagre for war and certain of easy victory that they sat around and did practically nothing for 8 months after their Poland Ultimatum was ignored. Come on.
Video about Dmitry Shostakovich, the Russian composer that made absolute bangers while constantly being in life-threatening situations like the Great Purge, the Siege of Leningrad, Stalin era censorship and the KGB terror campaigns when? It would be interesting to see someone on this channel that was neither a politician nor a military person, and yet contributed a lot to history. He even was a friend of Tukhachevsky at one point (how tiny the world is, eh?)
He wasn’t the even first or last Fascist to give it a go in Canada. A whole series of videos on pro imperialist and fascist organizations in Canada could take us from the founding right up to present day.
He should not, he talks like shit and he can't make 1+1 considering the sad state Canada is in right now, it's literally destroyed by boomers and third worlders.
Arcand did not paved the way to facism for Canadian : the KKK did wer already existing long befor that and were even visited by representative sof the German nazi party way before Arcand was active, And, if you want to think about political opression, do not forget that the Canadien Indian Act, created in 1876, have been used later as a model for the apartheid law in South Africa in 1948.
First time I've come across this channel. Subscribed! As absurd as it sounds, I completely agree with Pierre Trudeau in what he said. Yes, I do believe in arresting people for hate speech, and I do agree that there should be laws that clamp down on hateful ideologies, putting people in prison purely due to their race, country of origin, or political beliefs is a step too far. Once we start taking away people's liberties simply because it's an ideology we don't agree with, it's a slippery slope that can lead to the very things we are trying to prevent. In short, we should be arresting people for what they do, not for what they believe in. People should be allowed to hate whoever they want, as long as their hate does not affect others. Only once hate starts to affect other people should governments get involved. I may hate the alt-right and extremist ideologies, but if I take away their rights, how far will that slippery slope go?
Where do you draw the line for hurting other people? Threatening to kill is illegal in most places because it hurts someone by making them live in fear. Surely there's a lot of scared people when Nazis start marching, chanting, and demanding. I don't have any answers.
You should make a video about anyone who had a role in 1994 rwandan genocide. For example Félicien Kabuga a millionaire who financed rtlm radio station which played huge role in inciting the genocide
I really like your videos, fact i think i seen them all, in any case i think you should make a video about Bolivia, bolivian politics is full of "dark" and not very well covered figures, for example Bernardino Bilbao Rioja was a general within the army and a fervent nationalist, a funny thing is that in 1939 he was invited to Hitler's birthday, other interesting characters could be Hans Kundt, Ernst Röhm, Klaus barbie, Victor Paz or even Óscar Únzaga, all complex and under-treated characters, anyway i wish you all the best ;)
Unrelated but having around 10 kids wasn’t uncommon for french canadian catholics at that time (especially in very religious families. Bonus info -> it wasn’t uncommon for families with lots of kids and who were experiencing financial difficulties to sell one or more of their kids to the church. If I’m not mistaken that’s what happened to Frère André when he was younger but I could be bullshitting)
Not even gonna lie, Final Shape, Shadow of the Erdtree, and Minecraft 1.21 all releasing in June genuinely almost prevented this video from being finished on time. Managed to pull it off somehow though

Arcand was always politically isolated and always had a very limited popular base. Even though lots of Quebecois were very conservative, the majority of Quebecois didn't support fascism.
From 1948 (Refus Global) to 1962, the society quickly shifted to the left, until the progressives took power with overwhelming support in the so-called Quiet Revolution. The Quebec independence movement is generally left-leaning, despite some incursions into identity politics.
Just like every nationalist socialist. They are left-leaning marxism obsessed with identity.
Fascism isn't conservative, it's syncretic, rejecting the left and the right.
Sad!

The guy just said "fuck" almost 10 times, he is brain dead stupid.
Canada was so different from what it is today and its a crime that more canadian history isnt taught
In Quebec, we learned about him. At least in the 90's, now everyone is so sensitive that i would not be surprised that they don't mention him at all.
Girlypop sorry to break it to u but I’m gen z and we learned about all this in school 😶
@@prettypinkblunt no, that's good news.
@thebendu33 *bad news
Very good video about political history about our country, you need more views for sure
Fascism was very popular worldwide in the 20's and 30's. In commonwealth countries they were imprisoned en masse during WW2.
I love the split of "lol hoi4 Maple Syrup Fascist" and "fuck me, this guy EXISTED?" in the comments here. What a ride, wow. Subbed for more weird shit.
A great man
You remind me of the great history teachers I was fortunate enough to have👍👍👍
We actually had a party called the 'Social Credit' party back in the 80's.
It’s interesting, he went from a more catholic french « clerico-nationalism » to a more british-inspired fascism. There was front page interview with him in the Toronto Star, kinda crazy
That's because the French boat is a wooden leaky lifeboat and is weak compared to the cast iron Battleship that is European, if only Europeans weren't cowards who fear Unity. Unfortunately we French are the only United Europeans on North American soil and that is why they hate us.
Interview when?
@@longiusaescius2537 during the world War II era when it happened silly pants. By the way when he did run for office he only got 0.1% of the vote. It's not a supported ideology here at all. Back then or now.
Why did he and his dad have to have great names? Adrien and Narcisse are legit really good names
So pierre trudeau criticized the emergency measures act being used to imprison fascist sympathizers during ww2 as anti democratic, and then both he and his son used the same act during their own time as PM? That is very funny, especially given how comparatively minor the reasons they used it are. Pierre did it in response to a terrorist attack by quebecois separatists and justin did it in response to a protest that killed exactly zero people.
When that act became politically useful, PET was quick to use it! « Just watch me! »
Justin actually used the Emergencies Act, the successor to the War Measures act.
A French man interested in engineering that’s more religious than me and he’s a Clerical Fascist Teeaboo
*Québécois man. Fun fact, our nation was a theocracy during those days, the Church controlled everything and would make sure to have you cancelled if you did anything they didn't like, they even had an index to ban books, including mant great romantic classics of 19th century France.

12:15 How the hell corporatorism "came with capitalism", while it's a economic policy created to be against capitalism?
Unions and workers councils are EXACTLY what, in economy, fascism is, as it's just another spin on neo-hegelianism, therefore socialism.
corporatism is from medieval italy
it was irregiment of cartels of capitalists based on expertise (spice trade, manufacture, architecture)
fascists LOVE to forget about it
@FlagAnthem Skilled laborers like artisans and smiths are "capitalists" in your eyes? Lol leftists literally refuse to understand the concept of the Third Position. You're still butthurt all these decades later than the Italian and Spanish working class preferred fascism over Marxism.
Medieval guilds were technically corporations and they came before capitalism.
@@roseandsword. Corporatist guilds are owned by the state.
If you're looking for a Canadian for next year Tommy Douglas might be a good choice - not as extreme as Arcand obviously, but an interesting and influential Canadian political figure people outside Canada probably know nothing about.
Tommy Douglas was a great proponent for eugenics. He's got some interesting stuff in his history as well.
If you trust the science you are a fascist because trust the science is scientific governance and eugenics.
Pierre Trudeau was kinda notorious for "not getting" WW2 in his early days (he thought it was a war of British Imperialism) so it's not THAT surprising he'd relate to the guy who was against the war. So Trudeau missed both the fascism and the fact that if WW2 really was about British Imperialism, Arcand would have thought it was based.
So it's genetic for them to support Nazis.
World War Two in Europe was objectively started because Britain didn't want to lose continental dominance to Germany.
It WAS largely about British imperialism, particularly stopping that upstart nation Germany from achieving parity with the British Empire like they did in WWI. Do you seriously believe the British attack upon Germany was over their treatment of Jews or the Poles? If that was the case, they would have declared war on the USSR too, but they were too scared of the Russian bear. They thought Germany was still weakened by the Treaty of Versailles and that France and Britain could trounce them in a few weeks. The French invasion was quickly repulsed and the British couldn't really mount much of an effective resistance.
@@titanomachy2217 lmao sure okay pal, the French and British were so eagre for war and certain of easy victory that they sat around and did practically nothing for 8 months after their Poland Ultimatum was ignored. Come on.

Video about Dmitry Shostakovich, the Russian composer that made absolute bangers while constantly being in life-threatening situations like the Great Purge, the Siege of Leningrad, Stalin era censorship and the KGB terror campaigns when? It would be interesting to see someone on this channel that was neither a politician nor a military person, and yet contributed a lot to history. He even was a friend of Tukhachevsky at one point (how tiny the world is, eh?)
Can you do a video on Hardial Bains? Really interesting guy (and also Canadian)
did they have any finger rings? i have found a silver ring with a Germen cross on it and defendent written on it,hard to see but is there.
He wasn’t the even first or last Fascist to give it a go in Canada. A whole series of videos on pro imperialist and fascist organizations in Canada could take us from the founding right up to present day.
You should do a video about Leon Degrelle if you have't done one yet or maybe about Corneliu Zelea Codreanu.
He should not, he talks like shit and he can't make 1+1 considering the sad state Canada is in right now, it's literally destroyed by boomers and third worlders.
Well that's one way to celebrate Canada Day lol
Arcand did not paved the way to facism for Canadian : the KKK did wer already existing long befor that and were even visited by representative sof the German nazi party way before Arcand was active, And, if you want to think about political opression, do not forget that the Canadien Indian Act, created in 1876, have been used later as a model for the apartheid law in South Africa in 1948.

As absurd as it sounds, I completely agree with Pierre Trudeau in what he said. Yes, I do believe in arresting people for hate speech, and I do agree that there should be laws that clamp down on hateful ideologies, putting people in prison purely due to their race, country of origin, or political beliefs is a step too far. Once we start taking away people's liberties simply because it's an ideology we don't agree with, it's a slippery slope that can lead to the very things we are trying to prevent.
In short, we should be arresting people for what they do, not for what they believe in. People should be allowed to hate whoever they want, as long as their hate does not affect others. Only once hate starts to affect other people should governments get involved.
I may hate the alt-right and extremist ideologies, but if I take away their rights, how far will that slippery slope go?
Where do you draw the line for hurting other people?
Threatening to kill is illegal in most places because it hurts someone by making them live in fear. Surely there's a lot of scared people when Nazis start marching, chanting, and demanding.

You should make a video about anyone who had a role in 1994 rwandan genocide. For example Félicien Kabuga a millionaire who financed rtlm radio station which played huge role in inciting the genocide
I really like your videos, fact i think i seen them all, in any case i think you should make a video about Bolivia, bolivian politics is full of "dark" and not very well covered figures, for example Bernardino Bilbao Rioja was a general within the army and a fervent nationalist, a funny thing is that in 1939 he was invited to Hitler's birthday, other interesting characters could be Hans Kundt, Ernst Röhm, Klaus barbie, Victor Paz or even Óscar Únzaga, all complex and under-treated characters, anyway i wish you all the best ;)
You're a good story teller.
Unrelated but having around 10 kids wasn’t uncommon for french canadian catholics at that time (especially in very religious families. Bonus info -> it wasn’t uncommon for families with lots of kids and who were experiencing financial difficulties to sell one or more of their kids to the church. If I’m not mistaken that’s what happened to Frère André when he was younger but I could be bullshitting)
