Canada

**Canada** is a nation located in North America. Despite being a relatively powerful nation relatively on the world stage, being a extremely wealthy nation of notable size, its proximity to the United States of America overshadowed its ability to project power over the world. For most of its history, it would largely be in the shadow of its older brother, and its struggle to find its identity would ultimately lead it down a turbulent path.

## Pre-Unravelling Era (Pre-2022)

Pre-2022, the Canadian nation, like much of the Western world found itself in increasing turmoil dealing with rising housing prices, uncompetitive with the American economy down south, and some limited brain drain. This was largely a global problem which was manifesting itself, as the age of the old global order came to an end.

The Prime Minister at the time, Justin Trudeau had already been becoming increasingly unpopular, as he emerged from his 3rd election 2021, and his controversies began piling up. Up until this point, the Canadian nation had a fundamental insecurity stemming from its cultural similarity and lack of national identity compared to its brother to the south. Canadians, by and large were in denial about this similarity, and attempted to assert a form of moral superiority against the Americans.

Rising inflation, an inflated housing cost, uncompetitive economy, all of these were already weighing on the Canadian nation before the 2022 Unravelling severely impacted Canada's standard of living. Canadian anxiety was also high from the perceived rise of Russia and China, and the perceived inability for the United States to properly counter their rising influence. Several discussions were had for a possible pivot of Canada's foreign policy away from the Americans. But to the sheer impossibility of that possibility, it was never seriously discussed.

## Pre-War Period (2022-2035)

The collapse in the Canadian economy, and the inability of the Trudeau administration to effectively respond against the looming crisis tanked Trudeau's approval rating in the fallout of the 2022 Unravelling, and made him vulnerable to both the New Democratic Party to the left and the Conservative Party to the right. The Canadian right was radicalizing down a similar path as the American right had done nearly 10 years ago, with the rise of populist-libertarian Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre. The faltering economic fortunes of Canada, along with the rest of the Western world reignited separatist sentiments in both Quebec and Alberta, who wished to abandon ship from what they saw as a sinking ship.

The Conservatives were able to win a majority in Parliament in 2025, beating out the Liberals by a healthy 15 point margin, while the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Green parties peeled away votes from the left of the Liberal Party. Largely tainted by Trudeau's unpopularity, the Liberals were nearly tied with the NDP for second place, just barely having more votes by 2025. Pierre Poilievre attempted to fix the uncompetitive Canadian economy through a reduction in regulations and bureaucracy, but was unable to make a short term recovery, as the Canadian economy (along with most Western countries) entered a recession.

Poilievre was friendly to Canada's oil industry, where their support ensured the support of his Conservative bastion of Alberta. Canada, like most Western countries recovered slowly from the 2022 Unravelling, as globalization and the global trade system unraveled as the Americans pulled out of the global system. The collapse of the World Economic Forum and other similar institutions was publicly celebrated by populist figures such as Poilievre. Riding a tide of right wing populism, and being influenced by the culture war going on in the United States, Poilievre slowly became more hardline on conservative issues, as the Canadian right slowly shifted to the right.

Poilievre ultimately had a friendly relationship with US President DeSantis, though had to distance himself from him on the campaign trail, as much of DeSantis's policies were too extreme for Canadian tastes. Poilievre was able to win a slightly reduced majority in 2029 against Liberal candidate Chrystna Freeland in 2029, being slightly more assertive in his conservative politics as the tides around him changed as well for a rightward shift. Canada was somewhat insulated from the worst excesses of the American culture wars, with their own political engagement being considerably more tame. Poilievre was able to manage the slow recovery of the Canadian economy, eventually leading it to recovery largely by leaning on the fossil fuel industry. Though a policy of deregulation, tax cuts and bureaucratic reform also helped stimulate the Canadian economy.

A major corruption scandal between him and several Albertan oil companies damaged his re-election chances in 2033. Though with the Liberals voting Sophie Trudeau through some line of logic comprehensible only to them. Pierre Poilievre was equally competitive in a three way race with the Liberals and the NDP in 2033. With an intense 3 way race, the nation was shocked with the result that the NDP had managed to win the most seats, with the Conservatives in second, and the Liberals a distant third. After many weeks of Parliamentary wrangling, the NDP minority government was able to form after wrangling enough votes from the Liberals, Greens, and Bloc Quebecois, voting Niki Ashton as Prime Minister.

Being forced to moderate much of her democratic socialist positions, Niki Paxton essentially marketed herself as a social democrat who would promote social welfare and economic reforms to help the Canadian working class. Little did she know however, most of her career would be spent wrangling with the headache that would be the Third World War.

## Third World War (2035-2039)

Niki Ashton had campaigned as a leader of domestic renewal, but would be forced to act as a wartime prime minister as the greatest conflict since the Second World War came to Canada. The Conservatives pushed her and the rest of Parliament to authorize an emergency increase in military spending. Canadian soldiers would see action defending South Korea, assisting the Americans in the Pacific, and holding the line in Germany.

Unfortunately, the NDP had a loud minority of people who were dedicated to pacifism, had sympathies for China, and gave Niki Ashton a headache as her own party often worked against her. It was widely rumored she had Chinese sympathies herself, with the Conservatives dredging up old reports of her opposing the embargo on Cuba, defending the Venezuelan regime, and her support for the release of Chinese Huawei CEO Meng Wanzhou. In the 2037, the election became a mudslinging contest with her old remarks coming back into public light, and barely fighting off a Conservative victory by consolidating the liberal vote (Who for some godforsaken reason decided to run Sophie Trudeau again.) and uniting the left wing of the country behind a moderate left wing message. And once again relying heavily on concessions to the Bloc Quebecois in order to assure re-election as prime minister.

Niki Ashton was the target of a failed military coup plan known as the Pinetree Plot, where a small group of military personnel, believing her to be a Chinese agent attempted to take over Parliament. Though the military had strained relations with Ashton, they did not approve of this coup, and the plot was ultimately stopped by the RCMP. Her approval rating crashed as the coalition she held together began to unravel apart, the war was increasingly lost, and the pro-Russia and pro-China factions of her own party called to remove her from power. She was forcefully removed from power by a vote of no confidence in 2039 as her approval rating continued to plummet. She was present to sign the peace treaty that ended the 3rd World War, ending a conflict that saw the loss of thousands of Canadian soldiers.

## Early Interwar Period (2039-2045)

The 2039 election was won by a Conservative landslide, largely thanks to a Liberal Party in ruins, and an NDP consuming itself in infighting following Ashton declining to run in the 2039 elections, with her approval rating in the gutter. The 2041 Conservative leader was former Canadian Heritage Minister John James McCullough. John McCullough was elected as a no-nonsense pragmatic conservative who would unite the country, and restore the stability and dignity lost during the Ashton prime ministership. He came from the moderate wing of the party, and won over many would be Liberal voters by remaining dedicated to a moderate administration for all Canadians, and after Ashton's opinions about the state of Israel came out in the press.

Canada was one of the first nations to join the newly made League of Free Nations, with few allies in the world, Canada embraced the idea that they were an increasingly isolated island in a democracy in a rising tide of autocracy, with North America being one of the last bastions. Prime Minister McCullough also attended the 2040 London Climate Accords hosted by British Prime Minister Tom Cockburn, where he agreed to slowly phase out Canada's fossil fuel industry much to the dissatisfaction of the conservative voters to his right. He also agreed to begin construction on the Victoria Geoengineering Plant, which would help cool down the planet and maintain current CO2 levels.

His rejection of the fossil fuel industry, along with the rise of Cortezian Conservatism in the United States led to Christian nationalist sentiments developing in the Canadian prairies, whose ideology can be described as a mix of populism, Christian nationalism, and national conservatism. McCullough is well known to have a distaste for Christian nationalism, and had straight up cold relations with American president Victoria Cortez, rarely meeting her in person and more often than not sending an ambassador to meet her on his behalf. Despite praising highly of the "united free culture" of North America, his views on the United States grew more complicated as his term went on.

Despite winning a 2nd term in 2043, McCullough is well known for two main controversies. First were when earlier statements being critical of the monarchy were brought back up in the press, which haunted him for much of his term, and second was his strict opposition to Quebecois autonomy and separatism. Almost immediately, he began pulling back the concessions granted to the Quebecois under Prime Minister Ashton, and began firm reintegration of Quebec back into the Canadian system. His simultaneous antagonism of the Western Prairies and Quebec led to the Conservative Party being hounded on two flanks. One was the creation of the new Wildrose movement, which slowly grew in power within the existing Conservative Party, and second was a fall in Conservative support in Quebec, which further hurt their electoral prospects. This antagonistic view of Quebec would culminate in the greatest crisis in McCullough's, or possibly Canada's history.

### The Quebec Parliament Hostage Crisis (2045)

The high level of Quebec's autonomy, which were largely given to them as concessions in previous administrations, were now being peeled back by a McCullough administration focused on reigning in the worst excesses of the Quebecois government. In recent years, the Quebecois, influenced by the French fascist regimes across the ocean, had been growing increasingly radical in its approach, controlling its own immigration system and expelling parts of its Muslim minority. A well known fascist movement in Quebec known as the Black Berets had become well known, and were now rising in popularity. In April of 2045, the Black Berets would execute a number of terrorist attacks across the province of Quebec, demanding independence and the end of imperialist Canadian rule over Quebec. Receiving funding and arms from the French, and importing plenty of smuggled in firearms from less than savory characters in the United States, the group would terrorize much of Quebec throughout the Spring and Summer of 2045.

This escalation was followed by Canada declaring martial law in the province of Quebec, and moving in Canadian army units into the country to help quell the unrest. This was seen as an affront to the Black Berets, who saw this as an occupation, and decided to further escalate in retaliation. The Black Berets sent a letter to the Prime Minister, demanding that the Canadian soldiers withdraw from Quebec, and that they grant the province even more autonomy. Prime Minister JJ McCullough, unsurprisingly, refused to negotiate with terrorists, and continued pressing in with force.

The Black Berets, funded and partially trained by the French, had full blown skirmishes with the Canadian military, who were underfunded and undermanned. McCullough, after several unsatisfactory battles rapidly pushed through an emergency bill to pass more military spending. The crisis would come to a head as the Black Berets executed their greatest attack yet, taking control of the Quebecois Parliament and broadcasting the hostage situation, in a move that shocked and horrified the nation. RCMP and Canadian military forces held a siege outside the Parliament, trying to negotiate a release of the hostages. After several nail-biting days, the Black Berets received orders from higher up, and the hostages would be rounded up for the final time. On national broadcast, they executed the entirety of the Quebecois Parliament, and challenged the Canadian military to come fight them.

This was the final straw. Prime Minister McCullough would order curfews in the province of Quebec, mobilize the entire military for a full occupation and systemic eradication of the Black Berets. All available armed forces were sent to brutally repress the entire province. The Quebec Parliament was taken by force, and violent street battles occurred between the members of the Black Berets and the military. Various leaders were smuggled out of the country and fled the arm of justice, much of the organization went underground, and mass arrests filled the Canadian prison system. Many, especially on the right was pushing for the death sentence, and with their majority in Parliament, they passed a law greatly expanding government powers in the competence of terrorists, including the death penalty.

Dozens would hang for their actions. And Canada would begin its slide into authoritarianism.

## Faded Years (2045-2049)

"Any scenario in which the United States becomes a “right-wing dictatorship” will almost certainly be swiftly followed by Canada becoming some sort of left-wing dictatorship in response. American fascism would be blamed — as many of the Globe and Mail pundits openly do — on things such as conservative talk radio and Fox News, as well as an excess of “polarization” and disagreement among its politicians." - John James McCullough, the Washington Post, OTL, 2022.

As the 3-way cold war continued, and in the smoking aftermath of the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history, Canada was engulfed in political chaos. This was worsened further by a collapse in investor confidence in Canada, and a mass exodus of business and economic activity into the United States, which was going through its golden age of Cortezian economics. These lost decades for Canada were a hotbed for political extremism. American Christian nationalist groups trickled up to Canada, the Black Berets and other neo-fascist groups coalesced around their leader Adam Fischer. On the Western coast, support for far left communist groups were split between Chinese interference, and the machinations of the Havana Internationale.

With Canadian society radicalizing and destabilizing, Canada was beginning to feel the pressure to creep up the ladder of authoritarianism just to protect itself from American influences. McCullough's relations with Cortez had further deuterated, as Canada welcomed waves of LGBT migrants moving out of the United States. He used the Quebec Crisis and the ongoing years of lead as a fulcrum to leverage more power over the Canadian government, to turn it into an institution that can shape the nation to his image. He unveiled his plans, for Canada to become a outpost of the North American experiment he now felt was utterly lost in the United States, trying to rally together the remnants of liberal hope.

No one attack would ever reach the heights of the Quebec Crisis, as it would be called in later years, but what set in was perhaps even worse. Hopelessness, fatigue, apathy, as extremist parties took more and more control of government institutions, with the far right even creeping into the Canadian military. Attacks, bombings and assassinations became common, as the United States considered intervening as Canada teetered on the brink of losing control. McCullough acted aggressively to curb the excesses of the creeping rot, strengthening the police, increasing persecutions and crackdowns. McCullough greatly strengthened the power of the state, sweeping away checks and balances in the hopes of protecting what was left.

He believed he was trying to defend freedom against an encroaching autocracy. He refused to compromise on his key liberal principles, just as the last of the police force were captured by the far right, none so more than the now infamous Toronto Police Force.

Then came the assassination attempts on McCullough himself, in 2047 he survived one when a bomb detonated only a few meters away from where he was giving a public speech, another in 2048 when he was shot by Canada's surging number of illegal firearms imported and smuggled in from the south. But 2049 was the upcoming election, and all polls pointed to McCullough's Conservative Party being toast. With a new third positionist Nationalist Party outflanking him to the right, and a maternalistic Liberal Party to his left promising Canada the safety of an authoritarian nanny state. They both promised to dismantle whatever liberal restrictions Canada may have had left in the name of "social harmony", "public safety", and a "truly progressive and tolerant society". McCullough announced he was not going to run for re-election, the previous years having fully exhausted him of any enthusiasm he might have once had. The 2049 election was the last the Conservative Party of Canada would win any seats in.

McCullough would move south, specifically to Washington state after his retirement. And he watched as the monster he helped create entered into what he called the "Years of Shame". He settled down there with his devoted husband, though politics had put a strain on their relationship, the relationship would end up holding, as Canada would enter into the stormiest years of its existence.

"I ask the world for forgiveness. I was prime minister when Canada needed leadership stronger than mine. In trying to prevent tyranny, I created tyranny, and now it is devolving into a regime of my nightmares. There is so much I regret, and so much I did wrong. I ask future generations to not repeat my mistakes. Please, learn the lessons of my failures, and build a prosperous future. I hope that I may one day see a Canada prosperous and free. And our North American dream restored, it's not much for hope, but that hope is all we get." - Ex-Prime Minister McCullough, 2052

## Years of Shame (Prewar, 2050-2056)

The Years of Shame were a name given posthumously to the period of the Adam Fischer Regime. It was not a name given by the people at the time, and was coined by former Prime Minister McCullough during one of his speeches to refugees arriving from Canada. Almost exactly 10 years after the United States had been taken by right wing fanaticism, far right politics had made it into Canada. But where in the United States, the Christian faction was able to beat back the populists and the nationalists, in Canada, where no Christian faction was able to stick to a set of principles or be held to a higher standard, the Canadian ultranationalists won. They allied with the militarists and labor unions to form a stable foundation of support for the Canadian Nationalist Party, and began what became known as the Fischer regime.

With their majority in Parliament, and increasing far right stranglehold over the institutions of the Canadian state, they began tearing down the institutions of liberal democracy. The military was still behind when it came to the ultranationalist revolution, though it was slowly being infiltrated. The police had completely fallen into their sphere of loyalty, as did much of the bureaucracy, as the bureaucracy was purged in favor of those who were loyal to Fischer's Party. Taking inspiration from the Stasi, the Canadian nation spent billions setting up an extensive surveillance and informant system. Ideological commissars were placed in every factory, every apartment building, especially in the urban areas to monitor the population for dissent. Urbanization was encouraged, and people were forced out of the countryside; in the city they could be more easily monitored.

The ultranationalist regime promoted a fervent nationalism, of one united people, one church, one nation. Media censorship glorified the virtues of Canadian values, and the government put restrictions on what people can read, think, or say. Mass arrests of political dissidents and brutal treatment of prisoners turned Canada into a de-facto police state. Canada slipped from being a flawed democracy into a non-democracy, as the far-right hold over Canada's police and military used intimidation tactics to eliminate most opposition to the Canadian Nationalist Party. The declining United Church of Canada was taken over by the ultranationalists and turned into a state sanctioned puppet, and the official church of the Canadian government. But the other churches, which were seen as a challenge to their potential power structure and were harder to control, were suppressed.

The flow of refugees from the United States to Canada flipped, as Canadian political dissidents, liberals, and intellectuals fled to the south. The ultranationalists had a virulent racism problem, and targeted especially the Chinese Canadian population, Muslims, and of course, the Jews. People fleeing from this oppression created new communities along the Canadian border. To prevent Canadians from escaping, the Nationalists took on a decidedly anti-American bent, portraying the nation as an unsafe, crime ridden hellhole even more racist and discriminatory than Canada. The economy had not improved under the Nationalist Regime, with the economy still in the same stagnatory rut it had been in before. Many were also migrating for economic reasons.

Of course, resistance continued, from many different places and origins. On the Western coast, socialist movements continued coordinating resistance against what they considered a fascist regime. The Black Berets continued as a political force in Quebec. The Conservatives were gone, swallowed by the beast that was the Nationalist Movement, while the Liberals were reduced to controlled opposition. In this environment, resistance could only be done outside the system.

But most important of these resistance movements were elsewhere. The rural mountain countryside of Alberta were never on board with the massive centralization of power under Fischer, and had been influenced by the Christian movements flowing out of the 5th Great Awakening. They were perhaps the last remnant of the free Conservative movement. And with the United States not particularly happy with an authoritarian country on their doorstep, the CIA began talks with these rogue rural movements.

The Canadian government both misunderstood and resented these rural farmers, as they both lacked any sort of communication with them, and these were one of the strongest opposition groups towards the Canadian government. Canada would slide more and more into a command economy as the 2050's went onwards, putting a price cap on food, creating food quotas, and later a price cap on fertilizer. This chronic meddling with the free market, to the point of absurdity greatly damaged the agricultural sector in Canada, and provoked an extremely angry reaction from both the Evangelicals of the prairies, and the farmers of Saskatchewan. And they would begin swelling under a new name; the Wildrose Rebellion.

## Years of Shame, Total War (2056-2068)

When the 4th World War came knocking on Canada's door, its now shaky alliance with the United States was suddenly forced to restrengthen, as the continent braced itself for an invasion on 3 fronts. Far faster than the Americans, the Canadian government was able to mobilize for total war, turning around the somewhat modest Canadian economy towards total mobilization for a battle to the death. In the initial days of the conflict, the Canadian military played a disproportionate role due to the slower moving gears of the American government. The 4 pronged Eurasian invasion into Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland was the start of Eurasian boots on North American soil.

The Free Canadian Legion, who claimed to represent a democratic Canadian government in exile, fought alongside the Americans, and saw action around Seattle, just a stones throw away from Vancouver. A joint French-Eurasian invasion from the East occupied much of Atlantic Canada, and pushed West into Quebec, going so far as threatening the city of Ottawa, forcing the capital to temporarily be moved to Toronto for the duration of the war. deteriorating relations between Canada and the United States, as Canada descended further into its pattern of authoritarianism, its people too gleeful to hand over responsibility of their lives to an all-knowing government. Trading freedom in exchange for safety, driven largely by an anti-American contrarianism.

The relationship with the United States had decayed so much that in 2058, there were whispers that Canada would try to negotiate a peace with the Eurasians and Chinese, handing over the Atlantic provinces and parts of British Columbia, then join the war against the United States, turning it into a 4-front war. The United States, finding this absolutely unacceptable told the CIA to do what it does best, and began riots and rebellions meant to pressure Canada to stay in the war.

### Farmer's Protests, and the Wildrose Rebellion (2056-2058)

The Canadian command economy had brought to absolute ruin the once prestigious Canadian agricultural industry. Using economics suggested by unqualified ministers who happened to be complete ideologues, who thought food came from the supermarket and never left their ivory tower their entire life. These ideologically indoctrinated ministers decided to implement policies that sounded good and virtuous on paper, but would utterly destroy the economy. A price cap on food was instituted, not only to try and reduce the price of food, but to punish what they felt was a disloyal demographic group. The wrath of angry farmers, combined with pre-existing Western separatist sentiments culminated in the Wildrose Rebellion. The Canadian government would later allege that the Wildrose Rebellion had been funded by the CIA. Throughout the war, Western separatist groups would eventually become a competent fighting force fighting both the Eurasians as well as the Canadian government.

This would eventually be the breaking point for American-Canadian relations, which had been growing increasingly cold ever since the dawn of the 21st century. The outrage would be so great that Canada entered into negotiations with the Eurasians and Chinese, formally joining the 2nd Continental Coalition. The newly created Wildrose Republic would then join the League of Free Nations, and the two brothers of the North American continent pitted themselves at war.

### War With America (2058-2066)

Entering into negotiations with the Eurasians and the Chinese, the Canadians were able to negotiate back control of their Maritime territories, as well as control over states like Maine and parts of the northern United States in the final occupation. Under assistance from the Continental Powers, the Canadian government was reorganized under what was known as the "Canadian Order Government". Canadian forces began skirmishing with American in the year 2058, after a formal declaration of war. Fighting against them were the Free Canadian Legion, as well as the Wildrose Rebellion. During the first years of the war, the United States was too pre-occupied on their own fronts to focus much attention on the Canadians. Being invaded on all four fronts, the United States spent most of the years between 2058 and 2064 on defense.

This peaked during the 2nd American Civil War, which lasted from 2064 up until early 2065. Despite this, the United States had maintained control over their industrial heartland, as well as various space colonies, giving it the firepower needed to stay intact and stay on the defensive, even as much of their coasts were occupied and destroyed by the ravages of war. Canada's strategic position as a base to launch air attacks further south into the Midwest made Canadian airfields a primary target of the American air force.

However, the Chinese and Eurasians had been drifting apart as the war dragged on. Due to a combination of conflicting interests, ideological differences, China's increasing ultranationalism, border disputes, and a full on proxy war still raging in India, as the New Pandavas government funded by Eurasia had seized parts of China proper in Tibet. Deteriorating relations led to the Chinese invasion of Eurasia, and a complete breakdown in the North American front. The Americans now free to pursue offensive actions, rapidly sent offensives into the occupied United States, Canada, and Latin America. The Eurasians and French took more and more control over the Canadian government as the war went increasingly south for the Canadian Order Government. The Canadian Order Government continued to survive up until the capture of Ottawa, in which much of the Canadian population revolted, and Fischer fled to Quebec to create an emergency government in exile, though by this point he was fully a puppet of the Eurasians.

In a twist of irony, the Quebecois population he had oppressed for several years revolted themselves and lynched Fischer in the streets, signaling the end of the Canadian Order Regime.

### American Occupation (2066-2068)

After the collapse of the old Canadian government, negotiations for the future of the administration of Canada took place in the city of Toronto. Several Canadian war leaders were trialed for various war crimes, and punished accordingly under what became known as the Toronto Trials. Despite having become an authoritarian regime which had directly attacked the United States, Americans by and large still saw the Canadians as ethnic brothers, and figures such as Ex-Prime Minister McCullough pushed hard for lenience in the treaty with Canada. In the end, Canada would establish a new government under the supervision of the Americans, a extensive policy of de-nationalization would root out the worst of the ultranationalist sentiments in Canada, and no territory would be ceded except for the independence of the Wildrose Republic.

Notably, this sidelined the Quebecois population, who had been petitioning the United States for their own independent state. But not wanting to create a further weakened Canada, and under the request of new Prime Minister Terry Sloan Quebec was turned over to the new Canadian government. Many who took part in the violence of the Years of Shame were never punished for their crimes, as they slowly reintegrated back into Canadian society, it would not be until years later when Canada truly began to re-examine its national history.

1. ↑ Of incredibly little note and of no relevance whatsoever, but is mildly funny: Greg Guevara was voted second place in the NDP leadership election. He wasn't even running.
2. ↑ Which was objectively untrue, though anti-Asian sentiment had been rising in the United States following the end of the 3rd World War, they did not have state sanctioned pogroms.
