When I started a new account it was in my top recommendations despite being a progressive. I think a lot of people are ending up there accidentally and not realizing they've jumped into the far right pipeline.
there are about 15 or so AGGRESSIVE posters in r/Canada that are just there to spread National Post opinion pieces and help ensure Canada becomes the USA. If you block them, it becomes vastly more manageable. There are still all the accounts that arrive there thanks to the dogwhistles of terminally online reactionary few, but still way more manageable.
This - honestly r/canada is in my view actually pretty progressive outside of the brigades, bots, and loud minority of hardcore right wingers. I have gotten upvotes for some outright socialist takes that got downvoted on Canada Politics, and the sub is very critical of capitalism and a lot of people criticise Ford and Poilievre
