There’s a significant number of them that are Canadian born. Honestly, it speaks a lot to the influence of fox news and other right wing propaganda outlets… these people weren’t the target - the propaganda isn’t even relevant to them - and yet they’re just as brainwashed as maga idiots.
It’s just the side effects of news media like Fox news.
They probably had a bit of conservative bent to their politics to begin with but when you toss in daily hourly propaganda to these people, their ideas start to sound normal and even necessary to them.
I also have a bunch of friends in southern Ontario around Hamilton and Haldimand region and you can’t believe the number of boomers down there who just leave Fox News on all day in the background. They watch more American news than they do Canadian and they are the same group that will call the pubic broadcaster CBC as communist or socialist. It’s amazing how powerful propaganda can be to a whole group of people. It may not fool everyone, but it fools enough of them to make difference.
I hate the fact that my country infects Canada with that filth. You’re wonderful neighbors, and we were already enough trouble before Fox “News” came along.
That’s extremely strange. I’m curious - in your experiences, are these usually Canadian-born people or do they sound like they could be from America?

It’s happening in Alberta too.
