Conspiracy theories are popular in Canada, especially among conservatives, poll says

Because Left-Wing Lunatics are unable to engage their own brains, they have no choice but to believe their idols, even if they are paid-off prophets with fork-tongues. Then LWLunatics can just call the painful truths conspiracy theories.

So why is every government health agency in Canada whether in a Conservative, Liberal or NDP province recommending getting vaccinated for covid and flu? Are they all left wingers? LOL

Good health care advice is based on science and evidence not politics.

More conservatives fall for unproven conspiracies because many are anti science.

And the simple liberals would believe anything the paid off media says

Who are these mysterious entities that pay the media off? Just another unfounded conspiracy theory.

Media dont do the paying ! they (for example CBC ) get millions to spread government propaganda , and whitewash the scandals

1. Here’s the first one that pops into my head https://nationalpost.com/opinion/and...fd8f612bf/amp/

Conspiracy theories are not exclusive to the right wing. Our ndp in Saskatchewan were successful in perpetuating the boogeyman myth of the Sask party wanting to privatize crowns enough to stay in power than was necessary. I follow social media accounts both right and left wing as I think you need to have a balance and from what I can see both extremes perpetuate their share of bullshit. Aside from conspiracy theories I also see a lot of purely fake and or dangerous videos in the DIY channels like 5 minute crafts or any other rube who makes pointless and dangerous things from angle grinders. I sit back and wonder what is the whole point of it? Even most of the “factual” shows on history or discovery channel is about pure bullshit. We’ve dummied ourselves down for want of self ingratiating entertainment.

if it was not for kids in our house i would cut off the TV , mostly rubbish and endless adds , same ones over and over again

Other than the news from Edmonton I watch nothing on television. Try to watch more credible informational programming online like bbc, Al Jazeera etc. Even YouTube has some decent stuff. I try to find both sides. Even with history and diy stuff there’s lots of arguments as well as opinions. Wading through it all can make your head spin but I think it’s more rewarding when you form an opinion because it’s maybe better informed.

So ag star, why don’t you ask Jerry Dias for his “unbiased “opinion on vaxes, hard to believe anyone who promoted it didn’t have their palms greased

"Thirty-two per cent of Canadians and 51 per cent of Americans surveyed believe COVID-19 was created as a biological weapon in a lab."

Huh? So humans have not been the victims from animal disease that made the jump to humans over our history with the many many examples?

And for some reason now, the most likely cause is a lab leak in a country that regularly eats all manner of live market animals?

At one time most humans considered the cause of disease as gods punishment.

How can you prove it wasn’t a lab leak? That is the big question there. The Chinese repeatedly lie, steal, and cover up anything which may tarnish their image or magnify their incompetence. Ask Australia about what China does to you when you start asking too many questions. Most likely it was naturally occurring but China stokes suspicion upon itself.
