Cancel Culture, is it over?

AIBU to think that the vibe has shifted? I think it has, something about Trudeau standing down seems to confirm this.

But I know there are still people (often those trying to engage in it) who say it never even was a thing. Was it?

Maybe it's still in full force. But it feels like something has changed. Does it take a while for everyone to realise?

I'm not sure it'll ever fully go, but I don't think it has the power it used to.

I still haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about. It is unlikely that many people in the UK will have been intently following the Trudeau story (whatever it is).

I hope it is. Although it may just give way to something else, who knows?

Is 'cancel culture' the modern term for a witch hunt influenced by the media?

Well there's certainly room for discussion as to what cancel culture is. When you say media influence, what sort did you have in mind?

Did he not preside over many of the worst cancel tactics? The debanking of those who donated to the truckers convoy for example.

Ardern, Sturgeon, and now Trudeau all out and Trump back in. Seems to be quite a comprehensive rejection of hyperliberalism.

I don't think it has shifted and I don't think it's got anything to do with the Canadian PM

I know nothing of Canadian politics, so I'm not sure I understand your question.
