Are they not learning from the events in the US?
Maybe they believe they’re “one of the good ones”.
It would seem hate/blame for ‘others’ is a blinding force.
That and propaganda is a helluva drug.
Americans didn’t learn from the American events. Neither the first term or even this term with Trump’s approval rates going up since late April.
The notion that that people possess the capability to learn as long as they witness it first hand is very overstated. For example there’s more anti vaxxers then ever AFTER a pandemic.
Since I can’t read the article; I wonder if this study differentiates from people born here vs born elsewhere
I think this is the link to the study that the article is referencing:
https://schoolofcities.github.io/gta-immigration/rightward-minorities
excluding Indigenous peoples
In the GTA, this group overlaps significantly with immigration: more than 90 percent of visible minorities are either immigrants or the Canadian-born children of immigrants.
Was helpful, thank you
I would say it makes sense that people from countries less progressive than Canada (a lot of the world) would vote conservatively
Kinda fucked up
Assuming a lot of them are immigrants as majority of residents of Toronto are foreign born, this isn’t surprising IMO. Most of them come from societies with conservative values or religious values. Credit to them, conservatives have been good at appealing to different visible minority ethnic bases, be it sex education, drugs, taxes, abortion issues etc etc. Liberals and NDP have taken the immigrants for granted assuming their welcoming diversity will market itself.
