I'd really like to know that too. US maybe?

That's what I'm guessing.

But if there are a bunch of Americans coming to Albertan subs and astroturfing political opinions, I'm not sure that's actually better than Russia.

I don't give a shit if it's an American or Russian who wants to warp our discourse, our political conversations are still getting bent out of shape.

Oh absolutely. In no way is it any better, it just adds to it.

It would be good to know what percentage of users/posts were from country #2 and Russia as well.

It’s a lot more likely a US citizen was raised in/has family in a small Canadian town though.
