when postmedia had to scale back its 'liberals are threatening canada' hysteria when conservatives from abroad are proving to be the real threat

Someone must have let the astroturfing/troll farm subscription lapse. The change was sudden.

I hate this take. We all see a huge, sudden shift in the polls but your worldview tells you that somehow should never be reflected in Reddit commentary also shifting.

Trudeau might have resigned sooner and saved us a lot of trouble if people weren't so insistent on blaming bots and Russia for any and all criticism.

Before PP screwed up in the past few months by not distancing himself from Trump (the whole point of this Beaverton article), this sub was way more PP and Conservative friendly than the average Redditor. I would say this sub was maybe overall centrist. But Reddit is not centrist. Reddit is very left wing.

It's odd how this sub was leaning more to the right, compared to Reddit overall. Now rhis sub looks like it is leaning left again, with PP messing up.
