The YouTube channel Street Politics Canada is, by its own description, an “independent news organization that aims to cover unfiltered news.”
“Unlike other news organizations,” it writes, “we are clear and upfront about our biases.”
Since April 2022, it has published approximately 600 YouTube videos catering to an audience of Canadian conservatives, nearly all of which take aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. These typically consist of news clips, still photos, and basic motion graphics, accompanied by a voiceover relaying arguments and information gleaned from an assortment of Canadian sources. Titles include “Worst Prime Minister In History Gets Booed By Canadians” and “WATCH!! Trudeau Gives UNHINGED SPEECH After Protestors HECKLE him AGAIN!!” Thumbnail images often compare the prime minister to Hitler.
Foreign interference into Canadian politics and inciting political extremism … what could go wrong?
It only counts if they’re Chinese and it helps the Liberals.
The Chinese play everyone. Don’t forget it was the Conservatives that sold Canada out for decades.
Thing is, the Chinese government trolls anti-Liberal/Trudeau as well.
While we should obviously resist this, it’s a standard consequence of globalization. Let’s not pretend Canada never interferes on the affairs of other states.
