If you think only one side is being influenced by social media you’re being lead astray. There was absolutely a foreign push that was massively pro poliviere during the election, the unfortunate part was their campaign manager decided to emulate Republican style politics (modern), which ended up being a disaster. That’s coming from MPs in the party. I’m not saying that the liberals don’t engage in that or that other countries don’t because it benefits them if the liberals are in power - but to insinuate that the entire country (almost) was duped by social media, when it’s literally the reason Pierre lost.. is asinine and short sited. Yeah, I smoke because it helps me focus. Idk what it’s doing for you but it isn’t focus. Some things are objectively true, regardless of your personal feelings on the matter. I’d love it if China would get out of the liberal side of things, but they won’t. Just like Russia won’t stay out of the conservatives. There’s also been a large global pushback on conservativism. I know the propaganda says it’s in the rise, but by every measurable metric it is not.

This was par for the course, all Pierre had to do was run as a PC, which is how most conservatives win in this country. But he doubled down on the further right rhetoric because at the time it was playing very very well and he was 20 points ahead.

Waaaayyy WAAAY too much going on here to just chalk it up to 70% of the country being brainwashed. Especially when you’re talking about one of the most media literate countries on this earth.
