Maybe it's just where I live, but I don't really see any of what's described in that article from average people. I see the usual election signs out, haven't heard anyone really saying anything either way or even had any conversations about the elections with anyone. The media's been playing it up pretty bad and I've heard some pretty ridiculous campaign ads from all the parties but that's about it.
Haven't heard a lot of white power fascist sentiment either. Sometime last year though I remember they had a rally planned, but there wasn't actually enough of them to have a rally so nobody showed up.
It really bugs me the media's trying to get Canadians to play the same stupid political games as America. Our election system doesn't even work the same here. You don't vote for the prime minister. You vote for the party representitive in your area. This bullshit started back when Trudeau was first running and it's just gotten worse. The political parties here haven't changed. A vote for NDP, liberal or conservative is still the same vote it would have been last election cycle. Their policies are all the same as they've ever been.
