I am not actively following Canadian politics, but recently Reddit swarms me with media/videos about Canada, with the kind of rhetoric I know from right winged people in Germany (AfD, CDU).

They are blaming Trudeau and immigration for everything that happens in Canada currently. Calling immigrants terrorists etc.

I always had to imagine in my head, that Canadians are friendly, open-minded people, but the media suggest otherwise.

So dear people, enlighten me with your opinion please!

This is partly false. Edmonton and Calgary vote blue federal and usually orange for provincial. Results from the last federal election https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6183209

Provincial - https://globalnews.ca/news/9633315/live-alberta-election-results-2023-vote/

Which I think has a lot to do with union and provincial government employees. But I'm just another stupid Albertan.

Orange = NDP = left. I was talking about the provincial government and premier

Right. That's why I said partly false. Perhaps, "not the whole truth" would be better working? By stating the cities vote left and leaving it at that implies they always vote left, when they don't. All I was saying. Thanks.
