Fascism
Taylor's fascist activities began in the 1920s. In the 1930s he joined with the Quebec-based fascist leader Adrien Arcand in creating a national fascist party, the National Unity Party. Taylor played a key role in organizing the putative party in English Canada before he broke with Arcand and joined the Canadian Union of Fascists becoming its secretary and organizer.
Taylor was interned as a sympathiser with National Socialist Germany during World War II.
