Is Mark Carney sliding towards Fascism?

Before the flame wars start, it's a serious question. Trudeau and Carney have been taking methodical steps that in my opinion are definitely fall into the definition of Fascism.
Here is AI's definition, and it matches others I have read/studied in Poly Sci classes
Fascism is an ultranationalist, authoritarian political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, a centralized government, and the forcible suppression of opposition. It places the nation or a racial group above the individual, combining elements of a strong military, economic self-sufficiency, and strict social and economic control. This system is opposed to individual rights, equality, democracy, liberalism, and socialism.
Key characteristics of fascism :
Authoritarian leadership: A single, powerful, dictatorial leader is at the head of the government.
Militarism: A strong emphasis is placed on the military, and militarism is often glorified.
Nationalism: The ideology is highly nationalistic, often exalting the nation or a specific race above all else.
Totalitarian control: The government exerts extensive control over social and economic life, and political opposition is not allowed.
Subordination of the individual: Individual interests are considered less important than the perceived interests of the nation or race.
Suppression of opposition: Dissent and opposition are met with severe and often violent suppression.
Hierarchical structure: Fascism believes in a natural social hierarchy where some are leaders and others are followers.
Individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy
When we look at Carney, he is pushing many aspects of fascism. He is doing his 'elbows up' anti - trump fearmongering to boost our nationalism (Hitler used the jews). He runs an authoritarian government with little to no transparency. He is allowing rampant crime to flourish to sow fear and dissent in the population. He has already floated the idea of military training for 300,000 public servants. He is exerting almost total control over the economy and industry with his government selected list of approved projects and unachievable approval processes, instead of allowing free markets. Our social programs and debt are forcing reliance of millions on the government. He suppresses opposition through $1.75 billion in subsidies to the legacy media. He uses the Supreme Court as a tool to selectively push his social agenda. His solutin to every govrnment created problem is more governmnet, and more government control.
I am not saying Canada is a Fascist State, but, Carney and the Liberals are definitely implementing many of the key tennants of Fascism.

Btw, I am still a decade away from collecting OAS, so it would definitely affect me and Mrs Tciso, who is a few years younger than me.
