> Haven't heard a lot of white power fascist sentiment either.

That's because it's a manufactured problem. The media doesn't care to distinguish between a few classes of people, labelling them all white-supremacist facist nazi scum, when most of them really just have views that would have been totally acceptable to discuss in public or have as a part of an official party platform only a decade or so ago.

In reality, what we have are European-extraction nth-generation "old stock" Canadians who believe that they have, in fact, formed a new culture here in Canada that derives from a fusion of European cultures blended with the experiences of pioneering a new land. A few hundred years of working on this, even before Canada itself was a nation spanning the continent, resulted in a people who were starting to define themselves, ideally without resorting to comparison to the USA. This group of people has a latent belief that they deserve a chance to be a culture of shared values and heritage and should not necessarily just be overrun with immigrants who bring their own culture with them.

There's no implication here of "supremacy" or "fascism". I've never met someone who wanted a "fascist" government; 99% of people can't even differentiate between actual Italofascism (i.e. Mussolini's government) and some vague hand-waving idea about totalitarianism, anyhow. Nobody wants to have a government that controls all of our actions, where we can work, what businesses we can run, etc. which are all critical aspects of totalitarian regimes. Labelling people facist is just confusing; the idea that someone who supports the RCMP in their efforts to fight crime is a bootlicking fascist nut is just so absurd an idea to most Canadians that we can't even conceive of the idea that the Extremely Online folks out here are actually pushing this idea (look up "ACAB", "All Cops Are Bastards", for a disturbing look into a growing sentiment in the online left).

There's no implication here of "white power", either; the implication is actually "controlled immigration". We don't want illegal immigration, we don't want people skipping the process and bypassing the good compliant folks who are trying to come in properly. We don't want uncontrolled resettlement of refugees in ways that have demonstrable caused social unrest in European cities. This doesn't mean "only bring in white people" or "don't bring in anyone at all" - even the People's Party only wants to reduce immigration numbers by about a third. It's a function of carrying capacity more than anything else; it's clear to anyone that's being honest that there's some maximum rate you can bring new people in at before they dilute the host country's culture too much for it to be able to continue in any cohesive fashion. That is, if you consider culture to be more than mass media and chain restaurants.

The problem we face is that any attempt to elucidate the above is immediately met with people decrying one as racist, fascist, prejudiced, or as a white nationalist, which is largely an American phenomenon. The American media and online discourse spills over into Canada, and people act as though their problems are our problems, when in fact we face an entirely different set of issues, and have always had a more restrictive immigration policy anyhow. Attempts to come up with Canadian solutions to our problems, like the moderate immigration policy reforms of the Harper government or the reduction in numbers Bernier is proposing, end up being conflated with Trump's border wall and immigration bans, and the average Canadian conservative ends up being placed in the position to defend that sort of thing, rather than the entirely moderate sorts of solutions that are actually being proposed here.
