Maybe I'm just looking at things with rose-tinted glasses, but quality of the propaganda in Western countries really has fallen dramatically. It used to be a bit more subtle, but now it's Democratic People's Republic of Korea-esque, e.g. the governments of Western countries are "democratic" (obviously, since they say so) so any questioning of the government is "anti-democratic" (= "bad").
While I do think there was fishy stuff during that election, him cheating would be the least odd thing about it. Canada was going through a giant heat wave that pushed through september that year (we do our federal ones 2 months before the american one), with the west coast in particular averaging 22C for the month. Not only were places ill-equipped to handle the massive amount of people without the weather, but the added part of people feinting in the parking lots while waiting added a bit of chaos to it. When I went to vote I had 4 cases of water in the back of my corolla and people were literally trying to hand me $20s for some of it because it was that bad outside.

Unfortunately the quality of the critical thinking skills of your average normie NPC has simultaneously revealed itself to be much worse than feared.

You mis-spelled "Prime Minister"
Questioning elections is integral to the democratic process.
It isn’t that difficult to run openly honest and fair elections. France counts all their votes by hand in a few hours.
They are choosing not to address the citizens’ concerns.
castreau and his party have no shame
