r/metaCanada was super right wing, honestly I think r/Canada had some of the same tendencies and moderation, making them right wing, them being a default canada sub is silly to me, but I'm not on reddit anymore so whatever. r/Onguardforthee was Canada's more leftwing subreddit, closer to Lemmy's !Canada@lemmy.ca
In real life Canada, provinces of BC, ON, QC and some of the maritimes lean left generally, SK, AB lean right (like the Montana and Texas of Canada). Cities lean a lot more left but outlying suburbs tend to lean right.
Toronto and Vancouver have let in lots and lots of immigrants and refugees (about the same as the US despite being 1/10th the size), which is great but it does put pressure on housing, wages and other supports. The problems are more a failure of housing policy and use of Temporary Foreign Worker plan to intentionally pay Canadians less, than it is the fault of the immigrants.
We are culturally diverse, yet there are some voices from people including those who are first or second generation immigrants that oppose immigration (pulling up the ladder behind them). Now there are some aspects of foreign culture I don't wish to import that immigrants will need to discard (caste discrimination for example) but in other respects, diversity is our strength and it's what makes us Canada. Not the colour of our skin.
r/Canada is quite left leaning from my observations, mods included.
How long has it been since you visited? Idk what happened but over the last few years it's gone heavily to the right
Not much the last couple of years. I try to avoid places that tend to demand polarization in thought.
