The right are overrepresented online due to foreign influence campaigns
I think you give foreign actors too much credit. Canada's got plenty of gullible right wing idiots on its own.
Are there sections of Canada that are overly right leaning? Kinda like Texas or Florida of the USA?
Alberta is the Canadian Texas/Florida unfortunately. The two large cities vote left, but the rural / agricultural voting block outweighs them, so the provincial government has been right wing for decades. With one exception in recent years there was a Premier that was so insufferable and corrupt that in protest an NDP government was elected but that was just a one shot.
This is partly false. Edmonton and Calgary vote blue federal and usually orange for provincial. Results from the last federal election https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6183209
Provincial - https://globalnews.ca/news/9633315/live-alberta-election-results-2023-vote/
Which I think has a lot to do with union and provincial government employees. But I'm just another stupid Albertan.
Orange = NDP = left. I was talking about the provincial government and premier
Right. That's why I said partly false. Perhaps, "not the whole truth" would be better working? By stating the cities vote left and leaving it at that implies they always vote left, when they don't. All I was saying. Thanks.
Yeah, the CBC video comment sections. b'dum-tss
~~foreign~~domestic influence campaigns
Canada Proud, NatPo and Post Media in general, etc.
NatPo is a foreign influencer - they're no longer domestically owned.
Do you mean this - "... Chatham Asset Management LLC is an American hedge fund..."?
Yuppers
TIL. I thought PostMedia is an all-Canadian propi.
