Abstract
This paper draws on the American context in relation to Trump’s electoral victory and his Islamophobic remarks in the media to highlight the normalization and re-emergence of white supremacy and the rise of Islamophobia in Canadian political discourse. Islamophobic rhetoric is alarmingly increasing in Canadian politics, often in conjunction with notions of ‘democracy’ and ‘Canadian identity’. This paper focuses on the policies against multiculturalism and censorship promoted by the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) in their attempt to legalize and promote anti-Islam sentiments. PPC party members have engaged in similar digital media tactics as Trump, with its party members promoting anti-Islam rhetoric in their attempt to maintain Canadian identity, upholding settler-colonialism, and subalternizing Muslims.
 Keywords: Islamophobia, white supremacy, settler colonialism, digital media, multiculturalism
