Abstract: A review of tweets collected during the 2019 federal election campaign shows conversations that influence the public agenda. There is a polarization on some topics for which strong opinions dominate. In such cases, exchanges are very limited between participants, and it could lead to the creation of parallel realities, making it difficult to have a common understanding of public policies. Several components of Canadian conversations are similar to the American conversations, notably around a populist discourse. L’examen des gazouillis produits durant la campagne électorale fédérale de 2019 permet d’identifier les conversations qui influencent sur l’agenda public. On note une polarisation sur certains sujets pour lesquels les opinions tranchées dominent. Ces échanges très limités pourraient amener à la création de réalités parallèles rendant difficile une compréhension commune des politiques publiques. On observe, dans les conversations liées à la politique canadienne, plusieurs éléments similaires à la conversation américaine, notamment un populisme souvent primaire.
