I am not actively following Canadian politics, but recently Reddit swarms me with media/videos about Canada, with the kind of rhetoric I know from right winged people in Germany (AfD, CDU).

They are blaming Trudeau and immigration for everything that happens in Canada currently. Calling immigrants terrorists etc.

I always had to imagine in my head, that Canadians are friendly, open-minded people, but the media suggest otherwise.

So dear people, enlighten me with your opinion please!

Well put. A lot of people also seem to think the government can magically make money appear out of nowhere and give them better services while taxing them less and somehow still balancing the budget.

They could be forgiven for thinking that since fiat currency is magically made to appear out of nowhere. The government can create as much currency as it wants. The reason it doesnโ€™t is because it devalues existing currency, and so it effectively serves as a tax on people who hoarde money. Boo hoo. My heart bleeds.
