Just an FYI to the non-Canadians not aware we have our MAGA-like people here too. Pro Conservative (republican), anti-immigrant, bible thumpers, climate change deniers, etc.

Any mention of Trudeau brings them out. Most people in Canada don't give a crap about politicians. US politics has leaked into Canadian society.

If it was the conservative party in the hot seat for this I guarantee you don't make this comment.

The liberals got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and doubled down. But sure, let's all look away and focus on the crazy right wing people that probably make up less than 5% of the population.

Let us know when you're ready to get daddy JTs dick out of your mouth.

If it was the conservatives the liberals would’ve been frothing at the mouth and rioting after just one of the many smaller scandals Trudeau has brushed off and they all just ignored and downplayed it like it wasn’t a big deal. Can you imagine how they’d react if pictures of Harper wearing blackface just once, even if it was 40 years ago were found? And they let Trudeau get away with that even when there were pictures from several different times and he even admitted he didn’t know how many more times he did it. Literally anyone else wouldn’t have a career after that.

Why so angry. I hate Trudeau like most but when authorities are saying there's not enough evidence and it's all speculation and rumors you have to question where all this is coming from. People need to stop idolizing politicians. They aren't in it for the people they are only in it for themselves. The system needs to change.

I'm not angry, just calling out an obvious attempt at deflection. This post has literally nothing to do with what the comment I responded to was talking about.

And I would argue it's probably not just rumors and speculation when the MP in question quits the caucas. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Don't care about MAGA, more concerned about the Harper-sites running around (Kenny, PP)

Canada having conservative people that don't like the Liberal Party is the result of US politics, and you need to declare this to "non-Canadians not aware"?

Sounds like you're the one mired in hateful, the-other-side-is-evil, American-style rhetoric. Give your head a shake.

I don't think the influence is as strong as you think it is...

The Canadian media giants partially funded by Trudeau's media payments did a great job of over-representing extreme fringes when they were covering COVID protests, and it shows in comments like yours.

Lol, tell me you didn't even look at the linked article without saying that. Ironically, it's a CBC article.

sure but that doesn't discount the rise of far right conservatism in canada due to influence of US politics, and it's not just the media that notices them.

Imagine being this much of a partisan stooge.

Our national intelligence agency is warning that there are politicians getting paid off by China. An MP was reported to have lobbied to KEEP Canadians imprisoned until it was advantageous to his party... and your biggest concern is that your perceived enemies might say bad things about Poor Justin.

You are no better than the MAGA fan boys apologizing for Trump.

All conservatives in Canada and the USA are racist, misogynistic bible thumpers? Lmfao you need to get off Reddit for a bit.

Also worth noting that this is apparently unverified information i.e. perhaps merely a rumour, perhaps more.

Well yes, Conservative politics and opinions these days are seemingly unconcerned with facts
