    It’s just the side effects of news media like Fox news.

    They probably had a bit of conservative bent to their politics to begin with but when you toss in daily hourly propaganda to these people, their ideas start to sound normal and even necessary to them.

    I also have a bunch of friends in southern Ontario around Hamilton and Haldimand region and you can’t believe the number of boomers down there who just leave Fox News on all day in the background. They watch more American news than they do Canadian and they are the same group that will call the pubic broadcaster CBC as communist or socialist. It’s amazing how powerful propaganda can be to a whole group of people. It may not fool everyone, but it fools enough of them to make difference.

      I hate the fact that my country infects Canada with that filth. You’re wonderful neighbors, and we were already enough trouble before Fox “News” came along.

        I share the same sentiment. We’re a bad influence, we are.

          Right? And not even in a “cool kid who plays by their own rules” kind of way.

            Well we didn’t have the best parents. Those two had been bickering do so long they have a “hundred years war”
