I don't know if this will honestly be true in a few years. I know lots of right wing people in Calgary, and they are starting to go to the same point on the scale as American right wingers.
That's the problem, there is no middle ground and those bubbles just suck these guys up and turn them into extreme right wingers in no time. Talking to them, they don't even discern between Canada and America, they just parrot whatever latest talking point is being pushed by the far right.
They tend to believe that these "anti-right" issues and conspiracies transcend borders.
