Going to be interesting when more stuff like this comes out in a few days.

Bory is registered as an independent candidate.
Actually a bit shocked he isn't running as a Conservative.
The Canada Politics sub which is supposed based heavily on "substance" where a few bit of those users participate allowed the NatPo account post there. At any given day probably 3-4 of top posts is PostMedia.
If you bring up the issue you'll get your comment deleted.
If you want to see the garbage she has to deal with first hand you can go to her posts on Tiktok and Instagram. You'll see someone threatening to rape and kill her within a few posts.
Just another example of traditional media avoiding facts when it gets to offensive for the Conservatives.
I'm sure they'll platform some far right stuff to "balance" things out.
Those are pretty much the generations heavily influenced and grew up with Facebook. The Liberals could have really done themselves and society a favour if they did something about the misinformation on there.
I think greed is just human nature but people need to be logical about it. Raising the floor for society benefits the average person a shit ton more than raising the ceiling.
Of the charts I particularly found that Conservatives was voting for "Growing the economy" to be pretty humorous. Before the current Trump crap, Canada was clearly at the top of GDP growth among the G7. GDP has long been a general standard definition of "economy".
Then places like the Fraser Institute started with this GDP per person thing which didn't really even make past Conservatives look good it only made the incumbents look bad. If we're straying from the general economic talks and into inequality or personal well being then the Conservative trickle down policy looks even worse.
This could do a lot of housing affordability. The question is will people with investment in housing allow for it to happen.
The Facebook Cambridge Analytica leak was mostly framed as a privacy thing but people glazed over how all that data was used to target people for politics and that was a decade ago imagine what they can do now.
On the fake ads front like you said they're more than happy to accept the ad revenue regardless where it comes from, the platforms is also setting records for user hours and there's barely any political movements to do anything about it.
If people are going to keep using those platforms they should be using altered apps and blocking as much of that stuff as they can.
Voting reform and people actually picking better candidates instead of trying to kick out whatever incumbent party out would go a long way for people actually worth their pay as well.
Letting mediocre politicians linger around the system to long is how we got Pierre.
Not saying Smith isn't. But she's so incompetent she seems to be losing Pierre votes.
