After starving Ontario public education of funding, Premier Doug Ford wants to send police into schools to oversee the dysfunction he’s enabling.

A bill put forward by his provincial government would enable cops to conduct programs in schools, reversing years of organizing that had removed them.

Militarism is a key part of fascism. It protects the powerful, is used to justify further militarism or restriction of civil liberties, threatens dissenters, and may be used to suppress dissenters

That is part of it for sure. Another ism for you though, Capitalism is a huge part of militarism and has less to do with fascism than one would think. More about protecting an empire you are building than being a monster to "the people". I'm sure it's a mix of all that and more, especially human nature. It's a Gordian knot we cannot untangle, hence the "sword".
