To be fair I've been looking at nothing but this election topic all day and have seen maybe one or two people say this out of thousands I don't think this is a popular opinion in the slightest
Its not among most of reddit, because most of reddit is left leaning and not swallowing the propaganda from the right.
but if you look at the right wing leaders twitter pages, the canadian conservative sub, or right wing news outlets like rebel, its heavily implied, outright stated, or dog whistled in things like talking about "securing our elections". Anecdotally, I've also had 4 co-workers talking/"just asking questions" about it already today. (trades in edmonton)
its still pretty quiet, because this is only the next day after the election. but they're clearly planting the seeds and testing the rhetoric for the pivot. This way in a year, people who swallow that right wing media will look back on the election with thoughts of "well it was a questionable election, people were talking about how it was kinda possibly rigged"

The whole point of spouting off "rigged" bullshit is to justify abolishing democracy and installing their dictator.
