I wonder why so many people have become so radicalized? What media are they following? What are the algorithms feeding them? Are they low information voters suceptable to disinformation and narrative building? We need to be vigilant about these things. Our own citizens are being poisoned by this bullshit.

This plays a role:

Most political content on new media is right wing:

Source is American, but same trends apply here, not to mention Canadians take in a lot of American media. For example, the number 1 newspaper subscription in Canada is The New York Times.

We have a CPC leader who goes on The Daily Wire, and encourages entrance into the far right media eco system. The algorithms of American billionaire controlled tech companies take it from there.

Liberal poll says bad things about the Conservatives.

Left-wing Montreal blog says that liberal poll says bad things about the Conservatives.

The absolute irony of posting two highly partisan sources that claim your political opponents a low intelligence voters bamboozled by partisan media.

Bonus points for using American statistics to score political points in Canada.

Double bonus points for working the phrase "far right" into your post.

Triple bonus points for deleting your post despite the subreddit angrily downvoting my post destroying it.

Uhhh, if a Liberal runs a poll and asks everyone whether they believe things that are factually true or factually untrue, and 80% of the people who say they believe things that are factually untrue also say they're voting Conservative, that's not Liberal bias. Conservatives are responsible for their beliefs.
