I'd love to see the logic of the cons trying to explain why a foreign agency is spending so much effort to promote their candidate. Clearly Putin is a true Canadian patriot.
I posted this because it gave me a hint as to why conservative propaganda has shifted in recent years. It's mostly personal attacks on the man at the top now. "F#ck Trudeau" and all that.
While this might make some sense in the US where the presidency is an institution unto itself, it makes a lot less sense in Canada where we have a parliamentary system in which running the country is a group effort by the dominant political party.
And Trudeau is not even a power-trippy type of leader. He's always been more of a delegator. So while I believe there is plenty of reason to be critical of the current federal government, pinning it all on the prime minister just seems weird and off. Like something a foreign influence campaign would be trying to do, in other words.
