Not surprising in the least. The author's research methodology is a bit clunky, but you don't need an LLM to tell you that the content on r/Canada is extremely conservative and that a lot of it feels inorganic. It's self-evident.

It would be a good idea for the guy with no matches to get matches. If the guy with all the matches is much stronger than the guy without matches, the guy without matches would benefit from the threat of being able to take the other guy down with him.

Quite shameful. This is not what providing the public with quality news at a critical time looks like.

Have never had an interest in watching them before, but watched yesterday to support Canadian artists and am enjoying listening to a Juno playlist today.

Does he want to lose, or does he think his best bet at this point is continuing to lean into the Maple MAGA movement, holding that part of his base, and being the beneficiary of some foreign interference via US media/social media?

For me, a product with no clear country of origin goes back on the shelf. If I'm not sure where it's a product of and there's a possibility of it being American, I'm not buying.

That's just the paper I was thinking of.

I don't hate you. I don't hate Americans that feel afraid of where the country is going and who are opposed to it. If anything, I empathize. I also think international networks to oppose what's happening in America are important. That includes working with and supporting Americans who are actively working against the movement taking over the country.

That said, Americans bear direct responsibility for standing against this if they're not part of it. Being a passive commentator is not enough. It's time for those of you who stand against what's happening to actually get organized and form an active resistance. Be part of that, and you'll have my support. Don't resist, and you might as well be part of it.

This is very disappointing.

Carney has taken a professional tone in comments regarding the US so far, being matter of fact and non-confrontational while still having clear boundaries. That is a good approach for communications with the US.

That said, him being positive about the call doesn't change the reality of how the relationship is transformed. Canada still needs to adapt to the new reality and pivot the economy away from US-dependence.

I am hoping this is just for the election season, to sidestep potential conservative attacks of being too close to China. Canada should be expanding trade with the biggest partners available off both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, not just one of them.
