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!

I don't think 20% of the populace hope DJT is our next president, but I sure as hell believe 20% of people looking to elect Poilievre hope he mimics his policies when he becomes PM.

Look at the recent poll that tested Canadian opinions of Trump. Nearly half of conservatives had a positive opinion and thought he'd be good for Canada. This puts the number at 15-20% of Canadians.

It will never cease to amaze me that anyone supports that clown. Even if you agree with his politics, he's such an absolute garbage fire in everything he does I can't imagine anyone electing him over a competent option.

It's like electing the village clown because you like his stance on abortion.
