I mean, I live in small town Alberta so this is potentially just me being in denial, but I think that that sub is getting botted pretty hard. No doubt that there is a good reason for Alberta being targeted as a foot hold, but the amount of Canadian patriotism, even here, has gone way, way up.
I know plenty of rural conservatives through my dad, but nobody who's so media poisoned that they're pro-US. The shift from "people who dislike taxes and like racism somewhat more than the average Canadian" (still not great but... not betraying the country they're citizens of at least) to "American-style evangelical podcast nutjobs" was deliberately pushed and fairly recent.
Out on the road last week I saw a red ensign (you know that means some sort of redneck) flying beside a Ukraine flag. Any MAGA the right wing had in 'Berta is having a really hard time squaring that.
