The US right was relatively sane back then too. Its was just the emerging SJW movement on the left vs people who though the SJWs were crazy on the right.
Then along came QAnon, and the right (on both sides of the border) went batshit fucking crazy. All this "Canadian yellow-vest", anti-vax, PPCtard shit seems to have spun off of the demented conspiracy culture that was launched into prominence by QAnon. Some fucking kid larping on 4chan was all it took to turn a large segment of the right into unhinged lunatics.
