We may not have Fox News, but we have lots of right news media (Post Media, The Globe and Mail, Stephen Crowder). The Conservatives have also been running ads for over a year attacking Trudeau, something that is blatantly against Canadian election laws, but clearly they found some sort of loophole, and these are more than likely being funded by conservative groups from down south or overseas.
For any Canadians that don’t know, this is what Harper (our former conservative PM) is up to now.

No, this is a failure on that front. The Conservatives should be a non-factor now, but they’re disturbingly close. This is a tight election that has kind of crushed the left-ish party.
The country is deeply polarized, and it’s entirely the fault of billionaires and their media companies

Alright but let’s not forget that the Liberals were about to get removed from the face of the map when it was projected before Christmas.
The Conservatives were never going to be a non-factor, and only 4 months ago were looking to be sleepwalking into a majority. Luckily Trudeau stepped down and we got the result we saw tonight. Thankfully the CBC will live on.
