Don’t assume Canadians are well informed. The right-wing media and the Conservatives lie to Canadians too, and people believe what they’re told. In Ontario they have voted in, and voted back in, a government that is determined to dismantle public healthcare, and the voters seem not to even notice. At the federal level the Conservatives dishonestly blame the federal government for issues they know are provincial government matters, and people go along with that too and are all set to elect the Conservatives despite their having no positive proposals or intentions. Voters are easily duped.

True, the media has a lot more power than people give it credit for, and the majority is not owned by the working class
Canadian media is almost wholly right wing and owned by billionaires. Where it isn’t (e.g. CBC) the Conservatives are intent on shutting it down.
