Granted, Musk has many followers blablabla and this world-class hypocrite is guiding them to the far right and more power to himself.
Think Spectre in 007 movies.
Still, we should not forget that although these guys make a lot of noise ONLINE, they are a tiny minority IN FACT.
Poilièvre is now trying to distance himself from Musk because even his base wants none of that. A great majority of Canadians are opposed to Musk/Trump and Trudeau stepping down is making way for Marc Carney who has a very good chance to beat Poilièvre. Do better research.
I disagree, from what I’m seeing in the last few days, many seem to think he would not be able to face a Trump administration. Depending on what happens with the liberal party, it could turn around really quickly. I’m not letting the fascists take over lying down anyway.
I don’t like feeling this way, but it feels like a federal version of Ford vs Wynn, where the cons could have put literally anyone up against her and won
Yes. The stupidity of people who would vote conservative against their own best interests, their freedom, their chance of surviving the climate catastrophe is astonishing.
Maybe by the time the election is called, Canadians and the world will have witnessed enough of the US shit show to get a clue that a vote for PP would be a vote for the same kind of governance those poor buggers in the US are going to experience under trump and his band of oligarch brown nosers.
You’re probably right, but with Trump about to take over the US and repeatedly threaten Canadian sovereignty, the meteor is on its way. There’s still a while before the election.
The Republican party the Conservatives world over are the biggest threat to humanity in human history. Things are about to get really, really terrible for humanity.
This is the second article from the Guardian that mischarachterises why Trudeau steped down. It has nothing to do with Trump and his rhetoric. There has been talk of Trudeau and the Liberal gov't falling since the summer. Stop pretending he has this influence.
The reason why so many politicians around the world are not moving quick enough to ban Elon Musk’s influence in their politics is because there are many of them who are seeking to gain from his undue influence. He has promised to make them very rich and that is an enticing offer.
Lol... Canada doesn't vote for PM the way the US votes for President. He'd have to spend money in ridings all over the country for them to get a majority govt. And with a minority govt, a new election could be called anytime, and he'd have to do it all over again.
Elon Musk is the richest man-child on the planet. Money is no object to him whatsoever. He'll buy whatever and whomever he wants… until he is stopped. We must stop him.
The only way to stop someone like him is to tax their wealth out of existence, and if you think THAT'S happening anytime soon, you're just not being realistic. He's avaricious and egotistical, and not elected to anything, so you can't stop him at the ballot box except thru his enablers. Do that.
"The common law offences of sedition and seditious libel were abolished in the Coroners and Justice Act 2009. Sedition by someone who is not a UK citizen is still an offence under the Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Act 1919."
Well the US has always wanted Canada and as Jefferson said in 1812 it was "only a matter of marching". They did have to re model the White House after that bloody nose though. Trying again with bribery and fake news, led by an orange clown won't end any better.
Oh yeah he will definitely manipulate his platform but he will also try to funnel money into local canvassing or some other BS which will run against Elections Canada restrictions.
Surely someone somewhere has the ability to hack into whatever to cut off his finances. At least a good chunk. Take him down to a couple hundred thousand at most.
PP is right wing, vote strategically. Danielle Smith, Alberta’s premier is FULL ON right wing , says she will be spending her time in the US, fuck our problems here. She’s a wannabe and he’s a snake in the grass.
They don’t. The UK just gave millions to Tesla. No one has the courage to ban him and his companies for messing with their democracies. They’re instead giving him more money.
Nope, because people buy his cars, use his social media, and rely on his Starlink connection. They feel dependent. Just boycott this asshole, and his influence will melt like snow in summer.
Musk just bought the U.S. presidency for $250 million. He’s essentially the “deep state.” Now he thinks he can buy any politician or influence the “uneducated” into buying his manufactured bs.
we have laws in canada specifically to address this. we also have a very short election cycle so that our leaders focus more on leading rather than campaigning
I wish you all the best. Ongoing investigations here will call out the bullshit but the orange one will still be nominally in charge again. I hope we can survive another 4 years of this
Elon Musk was born in a fascist state. Grew up in a fascist state. Enjoyed all the privileges of a fascist state. No one should be surprised by his ardent support of fascism. He's simply telling you who he is.
Most 🇨🇦 believe Poilièvre/Cons will win most seats but without Trudeau many disaffected Libs are/will return 2 fold cuz simply dislike Poilièvre. Given strength of BlocQuébecois & predictable base of NDP, numbers 4 a majority may well not add up 4 him👍. So voting is paramount 2 deny him this.
If I was Canada, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, and other countries that value their democracy, I would ban X (Twitter) from their countries citing it as anti-democratic authoritism propaganda and harmful to civil discourse. #BanX #BanTwitter
We’re already seeing electoral interference on canadian subreddits. There are so many bots pretending to be indians calling canadians racist or that they’ve experienced considerable racism in an attempt to push nativist populism
A lot of things become apparent in retrospect. Most people supporting an evil regime at any point in history had no idea they were doing so at the time.
mmmmm - I get your point. People let some stuff go not thinking that it is just the introduction and not the end of things. However after reading about Fascist Italy I am convinced many knew that it was toxic but any attempt to change the system was met with violence.

From an article date 2020. (https://www.netlawman.co.uk/ia/seditious-libel)
"The common law offences of sedition and seditious libel were abolished in the Coroners and Justice Act 2009. Sedition by someone who is not a UK citizen is still an offence under the Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Act 1919."
That being typed, he will try to do some sneaky garbage which I hope Elections Canada nails him & the candidates on.
Why is mainstream media giving Elon so much power?
MSM is owned by corrupt BILLIONAIRES! This is what they want.

People here are fine backsliding into fascism. Most don’t know they are though probably
