Antifa is in Canada, but it is not nearly as prominent as in the USA.
Additionally, I don't think the elites were aware of the sentiments of the general public -- if they had been, the election would never have been called this early. As a result of misjudging the level of anger, the elites did not have counter measures prepared.
In Canada the longest we can go between elections is 5 years, but the PM has the ability to call an election at any time. Additionally, in the case of a minority government, which we have had for the past few years, at certain times opposition parties can band together and force an election if they have the support of more than 50% of parliament.
What actually happened was all of the federal parties got together and agreed that it would be a terrible thing to force an election in the middle of a deadly pandemic, so they would work together to prevent an election from being called.
However, either JT thought he had a chance to gain a majority government or he wanted to be able to claim that the further undermining of freedoms had been legitimized by an election, or for some other reason, so an election was called.
It now seems clear that JT completely misjudged the mood of the country, and there is a real chance that he will lose power. That may sound great, but the only other potential governing party, the Conservative Party of Canada, has adopted nearly identical policies to JT (vax passport, censorship, carbon tax, restriction of firearms, etc.), so while we might get out of the frying pan, it seems the only place we will land is in the fire.
Antifa is allergic to hockey sticks and beer bottles. They don't want to fight pissed off Canadians. Remember, the people who settled here 100+ years ago were tough as hell. Most of the people still are. Antifa would be pike food.
Do they have antifa in Canada?
It is great they can protest peacefully without being attacked or needing serious gun toting security, like it is here in America.

I heard that elections were suspended for an indefinite period, was that true? I could not believe it when I read that. Just blew my mind.
It is good to see Canadians getting out there and using their voices. Every "F" Trudeau vid I see warms my heart.
Quite obviously that was fake news.

Sorry to hear. Best of luck up there. Stay safe.
