Lmao yes, and the rest of the video is "big corporations and foreign investors are screwing us over", then hints at electing the party most likely to cater to the wishes of those with big pockets.

unstated: because government has abandoned social responsibility

Oh that is very much stated

so I hope the guy who explicitly shits on the government having any social responsibility wins

100% that's the tone of the video, cognitive dissonance to the max. It's amazing how immediately following the talking point about red tape and government intervention causing high prices on everything, they pivot to the case that the government should have stopped Rogers and Shaw merger.

why people do videos like this and think that Poilievre is going to be able to “fix” all this.

Poilievre doesn't have to come with solutions. If you look at the wave of right-wing election winners across the globe since the 10's, the one thing in common is that they tune the voters into "things can't keep going on this direction!" mode, and by presenting themselves as the ones bringing change, they funnel all the misguided fears and hopes.

In fact, I was surprised this video even got to explicitly advocate for the "smaller government" bullshit, because that's veering into solutionizing a bit. But then again, it's the oldest conservative talking point after trampling minorities so the audience will eat it like hot cake.

if it’s propaganda it’s just about sowing doubt.

100%, the whole video screams anti-Trudeau propaganda
