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!

There has been a cost of living crisis/housing crisis which allows bad faith actors to push the narrative that it's specific out groups are to blame instead of government policy of allowing the rich to loot the country.

And even then, most other developed countries are having similar issues in the years post-covid (and the disruptions that accompanied it).
