It's quite possible that the CBC article on CBDCs attracted a disproportionate fraction of more right wing commenters due to the subject matter. Most people I've talked to still haven't heard of CBDCs. That said when I explain it to them, people generally react with a hard no.
I'm surprised the government hasn't already astroturfed pressure groups to demand CBDCs be implemented in the name of refugee justice or whatever. Maybe they just don't care at this point. It's not like Canadians can do much, at least through the channels of electoral politics.
