Lmao Canadian think Pierre Poilivere is a perfectly cromulent person to be a prime minister. Some are even fully subscribed to QAnon and whatever other brain rot nonsense there is (which is likely all Russian meddling).
They'll absolutely fall for other Russian propaganda
Some sure, but theyβre in the 15-25% there, not the 40-45% like in the US.
15% - 25% of people in Canada who think they live in the USA is 15% - 25% too many.
Yeah but all it takes is for people to stay home on election day, look at Ontario's "majority" government where the Tories only got 40.8% of the record low 43.5% turnout and somehow got 83 of the 124 seats. The tactics aren't limited to getting people to vote conservative, making the left less likely to vote works just as well, if not better.
Like I get it, I prefer the NDP platform but I will always abc so long as we have to live with fptp.
My mother has been fooled by all of the extreme-far-right bullshit. She's against immigration (she's an immigrant), she's against vaccination for "a variety of reasons", but mostly because she thinks 99.99% of people survive COVID because her (vaccinated) 90-year-old mother did (even though it killed a dozen people in the same care home during an outbreak). She thinks the transition to 'green power' means we won't have electricity after the sun goes down. She thinks the global elite will crash the economy to redistribute wealth to themselves.
She wasn't always like this. She was a smart and savvy business owner.
This is what Russia want Canadians to be like.
It's wild how many people think the global elites will crash the economy, and yet vote in the very people to make something like that happen... The lack of self awareness is baffling.
Yup, my Mom's FB feed is basically her verbally fellating grifters and psychopaths, and yelling about anyone that has a clue.
Ughhhhh. So sorry, man. My parents are conservative voters and I was so worried they were gonna develop brain rot. So far they haven't, though. π€π»
Yeah, it sucks, but there was little I could do to change her trajectory. Her boyfriend is a far-far right oil-patch moron and former cop. I see the shit he posts on Xitter, and he's fellating the same scammers and shitheads.
I miss the person she used to be, not who she is now.
Sounds like my brother who moved up north with his family, into the Ontario wild to build his own house... Homeschool his children, and refuse to get them vaccinated (cause it has cancer in it). Says shooting/killing someone who trespasses on his property is legal, and then jokes about how he has a lot of land to bury bodies. He is filled with anger. I am scared of him.
