Exposing the deep roots and new threats of Canada's regressive right The years following the 2016 election of U.S. President Donald Trump gave rise to the global mainstreaming of hate, as false narratives and conspiracy theories about multiculturalism, immigration, COVID and vaccinations, the "gay agenda", and more became permissible talking points among right-wing politicians, pundits, and influencers. In Confronting the Resurgent Right, scholars and activists take Canada's 2022 "Freedom Convoy" as a recent manifestation of deep-rooted extremism and provide intersectional commentary on the resurgence of the right, demonstrating how its ideology permeates and shapes the structures of our society. With evidence-based research, and careful analysis of the genesis and methods of the right, contributors to this volume model pathways of resistance and charge us with our most urgent collective tasks: finding ways to work together, building coalitions in civil society, and exposing and countering the regressive forces that spew hate.
