The man some supporters call "our captain" has also received heavy support from Brazil's powerful evangelical churches, which have lent an energy to his campaign that Brazil's traditional right-wing parties have often lacked.
Bolsonaro's slogan and campaign song — "Brazil above everything, God over everyone"— is sometimes performed by his evangelical supporters in highly choreographed street dance routines and rallies.
For the Trudeau government — which has pledged to enshrine the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into Canadian law, and which has made reconciliation with Indigenous peoples a central plank of its program — Bolsonaro's plans for Brazil's native peoples will make it hard to remain silent.
Brazil has 720 indigenous reserves, ranging in size from a single hectare to nearly ten million hectares. Bolsonaro has said he wants to put all of those lands — 13 per cent of Brazil's territory — on the auction block.
"Minorities have to adapt to the majority," he said, "or simply disappear." He said that under a Bolsonaro administration, "not one square centimetre" of Brazil will be reserved for the country's original inhabitants.
"I'm afraid that in the remote areas, Indigenous peoples will be caught up in this," said Chartier, who this April joined with South and North American Indigenous leaders to create a new American Council of Indigenous Peoples.
"Their lands are always under threat of attack and encroachment by non-Indigenous people, and if you have a government that's willing to perpetrate that, I think you'll see widespread destruction both of human life and property."
More troubling is the question of what might happen to the estimated 60 "uncontacted" bands living deep in the Amazon rainforest. Brazil has more uncontacted tribes than any other country on Earth, and they are typically protected by reserves established by FUNAI, Brazil's agency for Indigenous affairs.
"Canada needs to step up and make sure its voice is heard loud and clear," said Chartier. "FUNAI is trying to isolate and protect those people to the degree possible. If those areas are just thrown open, that's going to be devastating to their way of life, to their health, to their culture."
"I can imagine Canada taking a fairly strong stance on this," said Daudelin, who doubts the courts will be able to protect Indigenous Brazilians from a Bolsonaro government.
But Daudelin said the arrival of Bolsonaro also presents a temptation for Canada, which has been in free trade talks with Mercosur, the South American common market dominated by Brazil. Mercosur's main members now all have business-friendly governments.
"Brazil and Mercosur, that's more than 50 per cent of the GDP of South America. So there will be a tension there," he said.
"It depends how the violations of Indigenous rights can be traced to government action. If it's inaction, the government can probably get away with it. It may be difficult for Canada to criticize the government on that basis. It really depends on how aggressively the development agenda of Bolsonaro ends up being implemented."
And if Canada does complain? "I think Bolsonaro will basically brush that aside."

Right wing gov'ts re coming in because people are getting sick of left wing gov'ts. The pendulum swing will continue until someone is smart enough to govern from the center. Are you listening, Justin?

A friend of mine that grew up in Brazil and has family there says western media has blown this up and that it's not a "far right" party.
Jon Palmer
@John Reed Asked my neighbour about it as well, seeing how she immigrated from Brazil, and she says the same thing. She says the CBC and western MSM are not accurately reporting what’s happening in Brazil.
David Amos
@John Reed Interesting Indeed. Methinks anyone with two clues between their ears would believe their friends and neighbours over the corporate media any day N'esy Pas?
David Amos
@Jon Palmer I agree particularly when it come to elections. For instance did I run in the election of the 42nd Parliament or did it not?

Canada issues terse statement after far-right candidate elected president of Brazil
Trump, meanwhile, welcomes Bolsonaro with enthusiastic tweet
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland offered no words of praise today for Brazil's new president-elect — far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro — choosing instead to congratulate Brazilians on exercising their right to vote in a contentious election in South America's largest country.
"Canada congratulates the tens of millions of Brazilians who exercised their democratic rights by casting votes in the presidential election on October 28. Their participation is a testament to the strong democratic convictions of the people of Brazil," Freeland said in a statement released today.
While the headline on the statement released to media outlets says, "Canada congratulates Brazil's president-elect," that sentiment appears nowhere in the statement posted to Freeland's department website.
An official from Global Affairs Canada, speaking on background to CBC News, said the headline congratulating the president-elect was left over from a draft and should not have been included in the statement sent to reporters.
Freeland's statement also does not mention by name Bolsonaro, the leader of the deeply conservative Social Liberal Party who prevailed in Brazil's presidential election.
Despite her desire to exclude congratulatory remarks from her statement, Freeland said she hopes to maintain strong bilateral ties between the two countries.
"Canada and Brazil enjoy a deep relationship ... numerous relationships between people and businesses, as well as ... our close cooperation on security and defence, agriculture, education, technology and innovation," she said.
"We look forward to advancing negotiations toward an ambitious and comprehensive free trade agreement between Canada and Mercosur countries, and continuing to promote democratic values and human rights."
U.S. President Donald Trump was more welcoming of president-elect Bolsonaro. In a tweet, Trump said he had a "very good conversation" with the former paratrooper turned politician.
"We agreed that Brazil and the United States will work closely together on Trade, Military and everything else! Excellent call, wished him congrats!"
Bolsonaro has long been a source of controversy in Brazil, appalling his many critics while energizing his base of supporters who admire what they see as his 'straight talk'.
He has directed much of his ire at homosexuals. He said he'd rather see his son die in an accident than come out as gay, adding he could never love a gay son. "If a gay couple came to live in my building, my property will lose value. If they walk around holding hands, kissing, it will lose value!" he said in an interview with Playboy magazine.
He once told a congresswoman that he wouldn't rape her because she was too ugly and thus didn't deserve it.
He described fathering a daughter, after having had four sons, as "a moment of weakness." He said he understood why some employers prefer to hire men over women because women have access to more costly labour rights, such as maternity leave.
Bolsonaro cruised to victory — he won an outright majority of vote after the second run-off election on Sunday — in part because of his pledge to end corruption in a country that has seen some of its most senior politicians convicted of crimes.
The former military officer has vowed to restore order as Brazil contends with a wave of violent crime.
Brazil is a uniquely violent country. According to the Mexico Citizens Council for Public Security's annual ranking of the world's most violent cities, 21 of the top 50 most violent are in Brazil.
Bolsonaro's affinity for the former military dictatorship that once ruled the country — he called the era "glorious"— has been welcomed by tough-on-crime Brazilians yearning for a ruler with an iron fist as gang violence spikes.
While more than 64,000 murders were registered in the country last year — 175 deaths per day — just 10 per cent of homicide cases ultimately resulted in charges, according to data from the Brazilian Forum for Public Security.
Bolsonaro also has said he will open up environmentally sensitive areas of the country to development to spur economic growth — a policy which could trigger standoffs with the country's Indigenous peoples, who still lay claim to their traditional territories.
Other Brazilian voters feared the impact that a far-left government — under the leadership of Bolsonaro's principal foe, Workers' Party Leader Fernando Haddad — would have on the economy and the country's currency. Many voters dreaded a return of the hyperinflation that crippled Brazil in the 1980s and 1990s.
"What I can tell you is that among close relatives and friends who supported Mr. Bolsonaro, the main reason was the stability of the market, not because his conservative values or promise to fight epidemic crime," Guilherme Ribeiro Tardin Costa, a Brazilian citizen living in Ottawa, told CBC News. He said he did not personally support either of the leading candidates.
"Everyone was afraid the currency would devaluate, with hyperinflation making a comeback. A relative told me he was afraid his pension as a retired public servant would be compromised if the other candidate had won the elections."
A Reuters story from September documented how Brazil's business elite had shown an openness to Bolsonaro in recent weeks.
"Business people and entrepreneurs throughout Brazil in all segments of the public favor Bolsonaro and will actively campaign for him," Luciano Hang, owner of the department store chain Havan, told the wire service.

If the government of Canada was ethical someone would recall the doings between Brazil, John Baird & I during the G20 meeting in 2013 Much has been erased from the net but Google the following to confirm I'm not joking "Dilma Rousseff""David Raymond Amos"
Jair Bolsonaro, 'Brazil's Trump,' is on track to win the presidency. For Trudeau, that spells trouble
Frontrunner has sworn to sell Brazil's 720 indigenous reserves and leave the Paris Climate Accord
A escolha é dos senhores. Serem governados por alguém limpo ou pau mandado de preso por corrupção!
Bolsonaro's campaign has received advice from former Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon. Eduardo Bolsonaro said in a tweet that Bannon and his family are "in touch to join forces, certainly against cultural marxism."
It was a pleasure to meet STEVE BANNON,strategist in Donald Trump's presidential campaign.We had a great conversation and we share the same worldview.He said be an enthusiast of Bolsonaro's campaign and we are certainly in touch to join forces,especially against cultural marxism.
Bolsonaro's slogan and campaign song — "Brazil above everything, God over everyone"— is sometimes performed by his evangelical supporters in highly choreographed street dance routines and rallies.
'Not one centimetre'
For the Trudeau government — which has pledged to enshrine the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into Canadian law, and which has made reconciliation with Indigenous peoples a central plank of its program — Bolsonaro's plans for Brazil's native peoples will make it hard to remain silent.
Brazil has 720 indigenous reserves, ranging in size from a single hectare to nearly ten million hectares. Bolsonaro has said he wants to put all of those lands — 13 per cent of Brazil's territory — on the auction block.
"Minorities have to adapt to the majority," he said, "or simply disappear." He said that under a Bolsonaro administration, "not one square centimetre" of Brazil will be reserved for the country's original inhabitants.
"I'm afraid that in the remote areas, Indigenous peoples will be caught up in this," said Chartier, who this April joined with South and North American Indigenous leaders to create a new American Council of Indigenous Peoples.
"Their lands are always under threat of attack and encroachment by non-Indigenous people, and if you have a government that's willing to perpetrate that, I think you'll see widespread destruction both of human life and property."
More troubling is the question of what might happen to the estimated 60 "uncontacted" bands living deep in the Amazon rainforest. Brazil has more uncontacted tribes than any other country on Earth, and they are typically protected by reserves established by FUNAI, Brazil's agency for Indigenous affairs.
"Canada needs to step up and make sure its voice is heard loud and clear," said Chartier. "FUNAI is trying to isolate and protect those people to the degree possible. If those areas are just thrown open, that's going to be devastating to their way of life, to their health, to their culture."
Temptation to trade
"I can imagine Canada taking a fairly strong stance on this," said Daudelin, who doubts the courts will be able to protect Indigenous Brazilians from a Bolsonaro government.
But Daudelin said the arrival of Bolsonaro also presents a temptation for Canada, which has been in free trade talks with Mercosur, the South American common market dominated by Brazil. Mercosur's main members now all have business-friendly governments.
"Brazil and Mercosur, that's more than 50 per cent of the GDP of South America. So there will be a tension there," he said.
"It depends how the violations of Indigenous rights can be traced to government action. If it's inaction, the government can probably get away with it. It may be difficult for Canada to criticize the government on that basis. It really depends on how aggressively the development agenda of Bolsonaro ends up being implemented."
And if Canada does complain? "I think Bolsonaro will basically brush that aside."

@Neil Gregory Methinks if Justin Trudeau or anyone in Brazil were even remotely ethical then many of their burceaurats in their Departments of Foreign Affairs should recall what went down between Brazi, Russia, John Baird, our mining companies, the NSA and the CSE and I back in late 2013 during the G20 meeting in Russia N'esy Pas?
Although much of what I did has been erased form the Internet when I sued the Queen in 2015 there is still lots of proof of what I say is true if you knew where I stored it. That said anyone can Google the following and confirm for themselves that I and not joking.
