If you go to the CBC website and search “far right,” you get 2,457 hits. If you search “far left,” you get 219, less than nine per cent that number.
Incidentally, you get exactly the same totals if you use a hyphen, i.e., “far-right” and “far-left,” which means the CBC search engine is hyphen-blind — though I doubt it’s any other kind of blind, given the corporation’s devotion to identity politics. If you search “far out,” by the way, you get 329 hits, 50 per cent more than for “far left.”
