Democracy Is Under Siege Globally. Canada Is Being Tested | The Tyee

How the well-honed playbook for whipping up authoritarian populism is being employed here and around the world.

Maybe instead of conflating authoritarianism and anti immigration policies, we could try winning elections?

This 7 month old article sounds more conspiracy theorist than actual reporting.

Take an independent voter in America. In 2016, almost all Left media screamed that trump was going to be a fascist. And despite the craziness on Jan 6, he lost in free and fair elections. So when the same damn arguments, no matter how reasonable, were trotted out 8 years later, after people had seen trump not turn to an authoritarian regime, how on Earth did we expect to win over those who were unsure?

Jesus, call Polievre lots of things but seriously, a threat to democracy? Damnit, I vote Left and this just makes me realize the Tyee isn’t a particularly good or vetted news source. (Admittedly, what did I expect, you do get what you pay for.)

Completely agree. I think this article is nothing but “rage-bait”… no wait… “fear-mongering”? Somewhere in the middle.

I don’t see where the article says PP is a threat to democracy…
