"I do my own thinking" -Conservatives

I'd love to see the logic of the cons trying to explain why a foreign agency is spending so much effort to promote their candidate. Clearly Putin is a true Canadian patriot.

I posted this because it gave me a hint as to why conservative propaganda has shifted in recent years. It's mostly personal attacks on the man at the top now. "F#ck Trudeau" and all that.

While this might make some sense in the US where the presidency is an institution unto itself, it makes a lot less sense in Canada where we have a parliamentary system in which running the country is a group effort by the dominant political party.

And Trudeau is not even a power-trippy type of leader. He's always been more of a delegator. So while I believe there is plenty of reason to be critical of the current federal government, pinning it all on the prime minister just seems weird and off. Like something a foreign influence campaign would be trying to do, in other words.

Another Canadian influencer, Lauren Southern, produced dozens of videos about Canadian politics for the site. She claims she was unaware of how Tenet was funded.

Oh apparently this star is also part of the ring.
