Why Conservatives are embracing conspiracy theories

from This Matters Hosted by Toronto Star

Guest: Justin Ling, Freelance Investigative Reporter As the Conservative leadership race continues, several leadership hopefuls are embracing conspiracy theories in order to win support. For instance, some are engaging in theories like the idea that the World Economic Forum is a deep state illuminati that runs the world. It remains to be seen whether it is a politically savvy move that helps them win this race, or a move that could blow up on them, but what is clear is that there are Canadians who are engaged with these ideas and how that could shape our politics bears watching. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar.
