So, it's not affecting Canada's ability to have a free and fair vote, but they leave that to very end of the article while using an earlier part of the article to platform Micheal Chong saying this is China working to get Carney elected.
They also totally neglected to include a comment from Freeland, who is the other person they say was previously targeted by the group.
That is some bad journalism in the midst of an election.
Do better, CBC.
It's not just X. All the big social media platforms are flooded with bot networks now. It's impossible to engage genuinely in public discourse on them with accounts you don't personally know. The well of social media is being actively poisoned every day by manipulative bad actors.
Not even top 5 for either of the ABC candidates. High turnout and a pretty strong shift from the electorate.
The line was roughly two-hours long to vote in my neighborhood. Kind of shocking, but also nice to feel the sense of community being engaged.
You too. You caught the perfect view.
"New" as in September of last year, not something done under Carney's leadership. Carney also just recently made a statement that Palestinians have an untouchable right to the territorial integrity of their land in the same way that Ukraine and Canada do.
My hopes are not very high for the Liberals to be as strong on opposing Israel's actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria as I would like, but with circumstances in our relationship with the US having changed dramatically, I think there is an opening for new leadership to go in a new direction. At least with the Liberals under Carney there is some hope. With Poilievre, there would be no hope at all.
Totally support that, and it's a great time for it as Canada's under threat and many Canadians are boycotting US media products.
Personally, since cutting off US media and switching to CBC, I've really enjoyed a lot of Canadian content and I've found myself more appreciative and interested in Canadian cultural products overall.
This may be the only use of FAFO I actually enjoy.
Not surprising in the least. The author's research methodology is a bit clunky, but you don't need an LLM to tell you that the content on r/Canada is extremely conservative and that a lot of it feels inorganic. It's self-evident.
It would be a good idea for the guy with no matches to get matches. If the guy with all the matches is much stronger than the guy without matches, the guy without matches would benefit from the threat of being able to take the other guy down with him.
I miss boring Canadian politics. I have never felt a sense of a Canadian election being so consequential before. The movement that has captured the US is genuinely dangerous, and if it captures Canada too, it's going to take us fully along for the ride.
