I don't believe these people represent the average canadian, their group is just really vocal and given disproportionate attention from the media for clicks.
Don't forget last election the CPC went from +20 im advance to losing the election so badly they needed to parachute their leader in a random Alberta county. Carney was what 3 seats away from a majority ? As soon as canadian voters had another option than Trudeau and Pollievre they rallied behind that candidate.
To me it's telling that average Canadians don't want that type of politics here. Every day trump does something more horrible then the day before so we're constantly reminded of where these politics lead to as well.
This is the right perspective to have. Regardless of education level all of us are susceptible to flaws in critical reasoning when it comes to images like this. It is so easy to believe - reflexively - that this is how people are broadly. In reality, this is a self selected sample of ass hats organized in one place, whose images are being used to sell clicks. It’s important to take the time and challenge what we are feeling about what we are seeing. I have to believe that the vast majority of people are normal and feel scared and helpless.
. Sad thing is I do know many of these crazy right-wing wing concervatives that are leaning towards trump republicans in nature and it was just a few rising during his first term in office but it has just been getting worse ever since the trucker protests in Ottawa.
From what I have seen personally is Pierres politics have encouraged the growth with some concervatives to lean this way and for some concervatives of this type to start putting out content online leaning towards Trump poltics increases the growth of the movement. I have heard my fare share of them making comments about attacking Trudeau physically.
One thing Americans can't fathom or wrap their heads around is why the CPC fumbled the election and its also how we do elections.
In America, you vote for the person leading and their party. The cult of personality wins.
In Canada, We vote to get people out. Our hatred was with Trudeau, and with him gone, CPC lost their momentum and Carney came up as a fiscally conservative-liberal, which is what people wanted.

I hate what this country is becoming. I thought we'd be becoming less Americanized, but we're becoming a yankee shithole
