    religious fervor.
    Modi takes his orders from Stephen Harper a wannabe autocrat who runs a shadowy organizations pushing the far right across the democratic world.

    It’s why Pierre Poilievre doesn’t say anything bad about Modi and India, because they are both in Harper’s org.

      This is laughable.

      Yah, the former PM of a country 1/50th of the size of India is giving Modi orders.

      What a load of lunacy.

        And Russia is 1/10th the size of India and Putin is accused of manipulating people from dozens of different countries, including India. So I don’t see why that’s relevant. I have no clue if that person’s statement is right or wrong, mind you, just saying that population isn’t as important as other factors. Nigeria, Bangladesh, Congo, Ethiopia, etc. They’re all countries with 100+ mil people but they don’t hold much influence over other countries afaik.

            Same reasons you don’t hear about most stuff that happens in most other places. Can you name 3 headlines from Italy from the past month? What about Japan? Australia? Philippines? There’ll be 1-2 every now and then but usually that’s about it. Because nless it’s a plane crash or some celebrity or something like that, you’ll never hear about most stuff that happens.

                I didn’t mean you personally, I meant in general. Local news don’t reach most people internationally because most people aren’t actively looking for them and they’re not gonna be seen on international news because they’re not on international scale.

          As yes, a news article saying “successful conservative abroad is seen as a model by Canadian conservatives” absolutely backs up the totally sane theory of an ex-Canadian PM running a network of authoritarians across some of the worlds most influential countries.

              Maybe so. Still doesn’t change the fact that the parent is claiming a bizarre “Stephen Harper runs a global network of right wing world leaders” conspiracy theory and backing it up with an article that says nothing of the sort.

        You’re assuming Modi and BJP have India’s best interests at heart and aren’t just happy to have power in their hands by any means necessary.

        Also BJP has suspiciously left IDU just before election year but their youth wing is still part of International Young Democrat Union.
