    The same propaganda networks that lead to 35% of California’s voters being republican are being promoted in canada. Facebook, am radio, Fox News, and now CBS, CNN, etc are being distributed in canada. You even had a guy who campaigned on a Maga platform running for pm. As long as the neoliberals allow those networks to keep spewing propaganda, canada is going to be next on the democratic chopping block.

    Hopefully, with the stellar economic and trade situation in the us plus the military being deployed against citizens, they will finally see that conservatives are absolutely incompetent. Meanwhile I’ll be here turning blue from lack of oxygen.

      Brennan Day, who serves in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly as a member of the Conservative Party, said he received Martin’s letter and was not sure how many other officials received it.

      “Honestly, I couldn’t believe it’s legitimate, but we reached out to [Martin’s] office,” Day told a Vancouver radio station. “It is a legitimate memo.”

      Martin, who served his first term in the Maine Senate this year and is retired from a career in the international mineral extraction industry, did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

      Day posted Aug. 6 to Facebook an open response to Martin’s letter that said it “reads like a recruitment brochure for a political ideology,” and Day told Martin “you are operating well outside of your lane sir, so allow me to operate well outside of mine.”

      Day took offense to several parts of Martin’s letter, including the Maine senator’s reference to “Canadian political baggage” and how the provinces becoming states would feature no “British monarchism, no bilingual federal documents [and] no imported bureaucracies.”

      If the provinces became U.S. states, Martin also wrote that for “millions of people currently frustrated by central authority, moral decay, and bureaucratic suffocation, that reward is liberty.”

      Day told Martin he holds “deep respect” for the U.S. and its citizens, but the Canadian lawmaker said the letter “lands more as a manifesto of arrogance.”

      “Your letter is a perfect example of what many Canadians find so deeply troubling about the American worldview — assuming that what works for you must be the solution for everyone else,” Day added.

      Your letter is a perfect example of what many Canadians find so deeply troubling about the American worldview; 'they do not have a clue what’s going on in their own country.

        I am praying for that.

        But the neoliberals have been unwilling to move centre on any issue. And their market-based solutions do not allow for criminal penalties for promoting outright lies with clearly established harm to voters. I think the worst thing is that scum like poilievre want to do the reverse: destroy public media. The neolibs are the ones who forced public media to include corporate advertising. Which means they are only a half step away from the Maga party on public media. And both are very permissive to allowing propaganda to be disseminated on Canadian networks.
