This is what happens when people live in bubbles.

The maple maga don’t interact with any Liberals because their toxicity has pushed them away. They don’t get news or media from any sources that don’t tell them what they want to hear.

In the bubble they have created, they don’t hear many voices opposing their worldview and the few that do get through are shut down cold.

Time will tell if PP will stoke those flames after the election like his American president and hero did.

This is exactly why CBC is so important. It's available everywhere. It's not controlled by a billionaire. Unfortunately, it has ads. But, it's not so dependent on ads that it has to avoid certain topics.

They might choose not to watch it, but it's there. It doesn't prevent people from living in a bubble, but it's right there, right outside the bubble. I think it makes the bubble problem much smaller than it is in the US.

Agreed, it’s a lone voice in independent journalism. Which is why the CPC wants to crush it.

I have to admit. I did the same last year. I could not understand why Poilievre was so popular and everyone hated Trudeau so badly. I thought that there must be something funky going on with the polls.

I still don't get it. I'm aware that there's a constant hate-fest against Trudeau, but whenever anybody mentions specifics it's mostly stuff that's outside a PM's control, if it's even true.

For sure! We all live in these same bubbles to various extents.

I believe that the 51st state threats were a wake up call to many Canadians to the reality of what’s going on. That we couldn’t just coast in our bubbles and hope everything would be okay.
