I'm not sure it *is*. Still trying to find the polling that substantiates that specific assertion in the article... When you click on the poll for that reference, it goes to a *nationwide* poll, not Quebec specifically.

1.2 million American immigrants are no longer construction workers, hospital staff, retailers, farm workers, and more. Food is going to waste because fewer are there to harvest. Buildings take longer to build. Fewer medical practitioners to help the sick. Trump is literally killing the USA.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

As a disabled person: this is a terrible take. Eugenics and fascism have always gone hand in hand. Along with Jews, disabled people were one of the first groups the Nazis focused on in the Holocaust. We have always been at the forefront of fascist minds. Hence why they use ableist slurs so easily.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

This is a poorly framed question. Lots of conservatives would cut off a family member for being LGBT, for example, but that doesn’t clock as a ‘political view’ to them. Also, the narrative that leftists cut off their conservative family members too easily is extremely widespread on the right.
