Do you really think the majority of Canadians want to be educated on anything...

Sure, it's just the majority of right wing conservatives who prefer Canadians remain ignorant, especially other conservatives who might stray to far.

Are you sure it is the conservatives,they seem to be the only ones talking to Canadians about all the scandals the liberals/NDP  have created.... you must like what the liberals/ NDP have done to the nation, they are the ones that think the average Canadian is not smart enough to understand all these scandals', corruption, ethics violations, i could go on but you get the point....

It is alleged that the Russians funnelled $10 million to covertly finance a Tennessee-based online content creation company as part of a “scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.”

Those influencers include Surrey native Lauren Southern. In the nine months leading up to July 31 of this year, Southern created 94 videos for the network’s social media channels. In one of her videos, the 29-year-old describes the 2021 discovery of suspected unmarked graves at a former Kamloops residential school as a “hoax”.

This is hillarious - you are railing at Ruskies for $10mm and other laughable attempts to do who knows what while our left wing pissed away 2.4 BILLION OF OUR TAX DOLLARS in one single bribe the the Canadian media to keep the Little Turd in office.

So you are in favour of Russians buying off the media to spread their false propaganda in Canada to try and influence our elections?

What isn't there to get? I haven't voted for a Liberal in nearly 50 years because of their corrupt way of governing by favouring wealthy friends - like Galen Weston Senior for example. How old are you btw? Serious question.

We could sure use a good hard civil war in Canada. Useful discourse between the left and right has become completely impossible in my opinion.

With any luck Trump will lose the US election by a cat's whisker and finally trigger what clearly needs to happen to shake things up. I hope it spreads like wildfire.

yah but you're a liar and your opinion changes every five mins so really what value is it?

Fortunately after 10 years of woke politics even the young kids have realized that it is wrong to vote woke. 

Thanks to losers like yourself and the NDP and the liberalsWe may see a whole new generation of right-wing thinkers coming down the pipe. And with a little luck we can cleanse our institutions starting with the CBC and wipe it out. Then we can move on to the rest of them.

We didn't start the culture war, but we can finish it. That will put an end to the useless discoursers and we can go back to having civil conversations again without absolutely asinine ideas like 24-hour body cams for MPS or blaming Harper for Trudeau's crimes.

I did not say you did,but i do know your not a conservative,  not sure why all of this hatred or fear whatever you want to call it about the conservatives...I'm 62....When you clearly agree the liberals have cocked up almost everything in this country, and have had help by the NDP...there hands are just as dirty...

Civil war is a bit much don't you think...besides the left is not built for war or conflict...

I agree, but i can see why, the left has been pushing to the extreme left, I never seen the nation this left in my life time...and the right have had enough, they are no longer interested in what the left has to say, because in the last 9 plus years the right have gone unheard...

Our nation is screwed up so much i cant be bothered with following US politics...i personally thought trump would push Canada into living up to it's signed agreements, but even trump could not convince or push, or embarrass Canadians into action...we have a long history of doing nothing until it is too late....

LMAO!  The right has been loudly shooting it's stupid head off about being fed up for decades - incessantly describing how commies and fascists have taken over the country.

This is silly. There is a huge ignorance about politics across the political divide. Most people have very little interest in politics in between elections, and not all that much when elections come around. Are Russians and others trying to influence opinion in order to sow division within Canada and other Western countries? Of course. As are the Chinese. But if you think it's only aimed at the right wing you're awfully naive. The Left is being encouraged to hate every bit as much as the right is

I've always wondered how much of our present climate hysteria is the result of focused, constant efforts by our enemies like Russia and China to push alarmism in order to damage Western economies. How many hundreds of billions are Western countries spending on defense every year that could have been spent on defense, or measures to ameliorate poverty, or just not taxed and left in peoples pockets?

And how much of the divisive DEI antiracism bullshit that has engulfed Western countries, esp the Anglosphere, being pushed and driven by our enemies without as much as our enemies within?

And you appear to be a left wing loonie toons who believes in spreading left wing dis and mis/disinformation propaganda. This constant anti-Russian propaganda going on in America and Canada is such bullshit. Just how or where is Russia really trying to interfere with our Canadian politics, lefty? 

So, it is alright for China to funnel money into communist groups in Canada, right? No problem there, eh? 

Lauren said the word "suspected". The Kamloops residential school incident and report was all just an hoax. All those supposedly dead Indian children were never exposed, just spoken about. Some proof, eh? 

You need to stop spreading mis and disinformation yourself, liberal. Liberals like you are always trying to stir up shit. Go get a real life, will you, fool. 😁

I hope not...

Todays left counld,nt kill their own shadow...

Well both sides of the equation seem to have their own wingnuts...

Perhaps in your mind i did not do enough, 34 years of service and 8 tours in the worlds largest shit holes hoping something good would come of it, ...in my mind i did plenty....knowing what i do now, i would not do it again, not for Canada, but for old comrades in arms no question.

Russia! Russia! Russia! worked on election-denial leftards in the states from 2016-2020, and then again on the Hunter laptop story. 

Did you think our media here wasn't going to try it at least once?

The Chinese send money straight to the first family down in the US, but Xi probably has to funnel it in through Cuba to get it into Canada.

Mellow out LOL

Dis and misinformation and propaganda is as old as humanity itself. Where it comes from is immaterial as it is out there to affect people. Be it to buy a particular brand of beans or who to vote for.

Nothing new. LOL

What proof do you have personally have that tells you that Putin is interfering in any Canadian or American elections other than what you get from the lying leftist liberal MSM? Show us something really positive that you have on Putin and his election interference nonsense? 

The demonrats and the Republicans both despise Russia. They both appear to want a war with Russia, especially the demonrats, the bloody bunch of imbeciles. Just saying.

The left isn't buying it though.

Meanwhile, right wing social media outlets and influencers are receiving funding from Russia.

United States law officials say the founders of a company connected to Canada received US$760,000 in fees and commissions during a Russian ploy to dupe right-wing influencers to share videos to further the Kremlin’s interests and sow division among Americans. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graeme Roy)

I have no idea. I certainly don't see it engulfing much in the real world around me compared to how much conservatives are loudly proclaiming it is. I mean, I'm still issued official documents from the Canadian government that designate me as the Master. People who work under me are given documents that instruct them to follow the Masters orders. And yes the word Master is always capitalized to further drive the point of the relationship home. Women and people of colour work under my command.

How do you explain that in the age of official DEI?
