What's crazy is how outright pro-Trump pilled the Canadian right was until about three months ago when Trump took office. You had the Conservative party outright bragging about being Pro-Trump, Trudeau floundering in the polls because of his criticisms of the Trump leadership team, and big oil-exporting states absolutely glowing at the prospect of a climate denialist government joining hands with them in the next election.
Then Trump took office and started threatening sanctions, he started accusing Canadians of exporting fentanyl, and he started making vague threats aimed at Canadian territory. Public sentiment turned on a dime. The Conservative Party crashed in the polls. Trudeau's liberals surged. Canadian media and politics turned incredibly hostile towards anyone Trump affiliated.
And now guys like Rogan are just catching strays for being Trump adjacent. He doesn't know anything about Canada. He just knows his (increasingly former) Canadian base is suddenly calling him all the slurs they'd historically reserved for his left-wing guests.
I recall shortly back a lot of us Canadians talked about leaving the monarch, but we seem to have gotten over that in a hurry also. 😉
People's opinions change very quick now.
Yeah. It turns out there are much nastier heads of state out there than good ol Charles III.
I think it's just the propaganda machine being efficient. All the major social media platforms are owned by billionaires (except blue sky but not sure there's nearly as many users compared to twit/meta/reddit) and they're manipulated to push the interests of the elites.
I still think we should leave the monarchy, but it's pretty low on my list of priorities.
Funny how their candidate is PP
