The global rise of the far-right and its challenge to liberal democracies have been well documented. The political impacts range from some electoral success to support for authoritarian populist leaders to shaping reactionary policies. This paper examines the influence of the far-right on the Canadian state. Capitalist state theory, developed under a very different context in the 1970s and 1980s, continues to have some relevance today. Specifically, it provides a framework for understanding complex, and sometimes contradictory, impacts of the far-right on capitalist state legitimation and accumulation. We explore these contradictions through an examination of four expressions of far-right influence in contemporary state practices in Canada: the federal reduction of international student visas; the promotion of extractivist economic development; ethnonationalism and public sector restructuring; and early government responses to proposed US tariffs in early 2025. We argue that these incidents can be understood as processes of the state seeking legitimation as capitalist liberal democracy is increasingly vulnerable. In the context of Canada, the integration of the far-right into the state as it adapts to changing conditions of accumulation remains incomplete and is unfolding unevenly given regional difference. The above expressions, however, point to an uncertain future and increasing far-right influence.
