  • Interesting anecdote, I guess. Not really surprising that Putin would align with groups perceived as pro-Russian rather than anti-Russian. And that’s really the lens to view it through. If you think Russia’s goal is to advance Canadian conservatism, you’re wrong. Russia’s goal is to damage, weaken, and destroy its enemies. If they believe advancing the right works toward that, they’ll do that. If they thought that advancing the NDP would do it, they’d do it without hesitation and it wouldn’t be at all inconsistent with their support of conservatives. Russian propaganda is spread through both the far-right and far-left in Canada - and often they’re just amplifying domestic conflict to force leaders to deal with internal crises rather than looking outward.
