IMHO, this says more about Alberta than about reddit.
For reference, country side Alberta is like a Canadian Texas: a land of conservative and libertarian cowboys denying global warming, with the lowest vaccination rate in the country. The kind of people that carry Confederate flags on their trucks even if Canada had absolutely nothing to do with American Civil War.
Edmonton, the capital, is like Houston: progressive and liberal leaning. The mods on that sub are Edmontonians.

As if no other groups have ever spread convenient falsehoods or parroted misunderstandings of complex and nuanced realities. Reddit is absolutely full of it and so are many of our top news sources.

Or even Rush Limbaugh the recipient of the higher civilian honor in the US who said this to his 15 million followers: >"It looks like the coronavirus is being weaponized as yet another element to bring down Donald Trump," Limbaugh said Feb. 24 on his radio show. "Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus … I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks." >"The drive-by media hype up this thing as a pandemic," Limbaugh continued.
