If people didn't get their butts out to vote, we'd have a conservative government right now.

There's been a huge increase in U.S. influenced right-wing extremism in Canada and it contributed to the increase in conservative seats in gouvernent.

Don't kid yourselves. Just because P.P. didn't get elected or the Conservatives didn't get a majority, it doesn't mean there isn't a rise of right-wing extremism in Canada.

CBC demonstrated that several Canadian subreddits (which are toxic cesspits rife with divisieness) are run by Russian bots so it's not just US influence.

Oh wow. Do you still have a link? I'd like to read whatever they found.

They would have swept the election if they ran without a leader.

Hmm. That's an interesting scenario. I don't know if they would've been elected without a leader. Typically people perceive this as being disorganized and without any clear path forward.
