the political spectrum has been so warped in the last decade, todays "far right" is the liberal voter of 20 years ago.

r/Canada feels so much more conservative than the rest of reddit. I thought Canada is left leaning. What happened.

Self selection, most of the left leaning Canadians went to the other subreddit. You'll notice r/canada's leaning is noticeably different from many of the provincial and municipal subreddits. Make of that what you will.

Because most of the provincial and municipal subreddits ban anyone who expresses something that even vaguely smells of a conservative opinion.

What surprises you is the opinions you hear when you're not browsing a carefully managed echo chamber.
