Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I haven't been to alberta but it checks out for albertans that have come here that I have worked with in oil related steel trades.

Sampling bias; Albertans working in O&G are going to be the shittiest people our province has to offer

Yeah but more popular than in the US? C'mon.

I mean I certainly hope not, but there is no shortage of canadians saying they will vote for trump when they have no voting rights in the states and even sometimes hanging banners on some highway overpasses. More than trumpers though its mostly the anti abortion losers that haul giant posters of aborted goop like its going to make me feel anything other than disdain for the people displaying the poster in areas where kids can see.

They're cherry-picking the most right-wing province and comparing it to the entire US averaged as a whole. The claim doesn't surprise me at all.

Make sense to me, they get all the rhetoric all the YouTube videos all the propaganda but none of the actual consequences. Of course he's more popular there.
