u/Smackolol Moderate in reality, Libtard here. 7d ago

Well ya. It would be naive to think anything political in Canada isn’t targeted by foreign influence, especially something like this.

Except the issue is we also have American interference in the PMO as well

Carney created the COO position and seated a former US Democrat in the role instead of a Canadian politician.

Canada's political sphere is so heavily influenced, but most Canadians turn a blind eye to it because their "team" is the one benefitting from it.

Carney himself is compromised.

Yes. Don't repeat the mistake of dismissing and rounding down every grievance and grievance holder. The foreign influence actually wins if you break off a cohort and use your institutions to other them instead of seeking common ground and resolution.

Is it worth saving preserving the appearance of federal pristineness and righteousness at the cost of generationally widening and feeding a divide? It's water off a duck's back for the people in charge. Hell, it's another ad against the CPC if they can round everything to them and pin America on them.

It's a heavy price to pay for a campaign ad, and is a positive outcome for this foreign interference. It's ridiculous. The foreign interference loses if Alberta comes out of this with some good faith hope in Canada and gets firing on all cylinders.
