And it feels so fucking gooooood !
The “choose canada” ad is just everywhere and I can’t stand it anymore 😌
you weren’t here for the election
I expelled ads in the 90s. I have no idea what ad you’re talking about, and I couldn’t be more pleased about it.
I guarantee you you can and eventually will if this platform lives on. Not to mention user propoganda is not exactly much better. Keep your brain on and don’t believe any platform to be immune to garbage because they never are.
Yeah what’s up with these NDP / Jagmeet Singh posts on here lately? It’s a two horse race. Jag needs to back off and stop splitting the left vote else Canada will suffer from a Conservative majority.
The Liberals are centrist, not left. They’re right smack-dab in the middle of the Canadian political spectrum. The NDP and Greens are left.
The Liberals with the addition of a conservative central banker as leader, who has already thrown several progressive causes under the bus, is a big step further right than even the center-right LPC party of the last decade.
They’re closer to the NDP than to the Conservatives, by my estimation and by CBC vote compass.
They are closer to the CPC than the NDP by mine. LPC will always always always side with large corporations over labourers and citizens. They do this for neoliberal ideological reasons. That is not a left wing party.
The only friends closer in Canadian politics than a Conservative PM and a Liberal Premier of Ontario are a Liberal PM and a Conservative Premier. It’s just two brands of the same thing, one that hides behind affected social conservatism, and one that hides behind faux social progressiveness.
lol “splitting the left”. NDP is the only party ON the left.
The Greens? The Bloc?
And yes, the Liberals.
The Bloc are not available for most Canadians to vote for, but yes, they are a left wing party, and we were certainly lucky for that when they were the official opposition. They help keep the window from being dragged further right than it already is.
The Greens attempt to be neither left nor right so they can be (in a gross misuse of this term) nonpartisan. I don’t know about today, but earlier in their formative period, most Green candidates were ex conservative candidates of various parties who found that true conservatism was not welcome in the modern right wing. Green philosophy is very compatible with both right wing conservatism and left wing idealism.
The LPC are the biggest whores in Canada and it’s just branding and shrewd exploitation of social issues that make people think otherwise.
What are you talking about? Greens take the NDP line or further left on just about every issue.
Freedom from forced propaganda
Here you get to see individuals acting in their own capacity to do the same, sometimes ironically and/or unintentionally.

Be vigilant, it’s already happening here; bots and obvious state-funded trolls are in the comments.
Yeah, many people here are supporting genocide or war from their respective governments. I suggest tagging them as trolls, a feature which you can enable in the Voyager app
can you substantiate this?
I have seen accounts that haven’t posted in over 2 years appear immediately after the election was called and aggressively criticise Trudeau / ape for Poilievre.
that’s not proof of anything.
Read the comments in the Canada community on Lemmy World.
We are talking about comments that are so obviously meant to provoke, stuff like “Your province never cared for you” instead of “man, I wish our government cared for us”. This is an example of reading voice, but there are plenty of examples where the information is too well-formatted or has the signs of being crafted by an LLM.
There are lots of tells, but by now it should occur to us that Canadians are being fed one line of bs, Americans another, eu yet another. All meant to divide us and put us at each others’ throats.
And at this point, it should be plain that information warfare is here to stay, so it doesn’t matter who is behind it now, because it will be someone else in a year or two.
this is speculative
Which part is speculative?
You are trying to derive proof from “lack of proof”, with which I unfortunately can’t help, Senator McCarthy.
What are you trying to signal by denying my claim that there are bots and trolls among the comments?
Senator McCarthy
there is some high irony here, considering who is stirring up a witch hunt.
Which part is speculative
the origin and intent of the comments you don’t like.
you are making a positive claim (propagandists are prevalent on Lemmy), but you have no proof. while, of course, an absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, what you are doing achieves the exact thing younclaim the propagandists want: creating division in our communities.
Nothing to see here, just regular Canadians enjoying cheering for the Calgary fires hockey team, voting for the conservatives and warm water ports!
I only cheer for the Edmonton Lubricators
And their Great Once, Wayne Getsky!
Didn’t he steal a quote from a paper company owner?
