This Week in Justin Trudeau Propaganda
In the lead up to national elections, currently expected sometime between now the end of October 2025, both the Trudeau Liberals and the Poilievre Conservatives have rolled out massive social media campaigns intended to both promote their own agenda’s and demonize their opponents.
The campaigns have been rolled out on “X,“ on Instagram, on TikTok and pretty much anywhere else their campaign strategists think undecided voters might lurk.
But some of the best propaganda comes from independents with a sense of humor, who hold our political class up to the light of reality, with lots of snarky asides and inappropriate references.
We begin our coverage with the May 25th, 2024 “Justin Trudeau’s Ego on “X” post, “Today, I walked into a bakery and met three adoring fans.”
According to the post:
It wasn't staged, I swear.
Ignore the camera crew with me, and the armed RCMP security guards who have the doors sealed off.
When I find three people who can actually tolerate me, I absolutely have to get it on camera.
The post includes a short video, originally posted on the actual Justin Trudeau’s “X” social media, feed earlier the same day.
According to the official post, “I met Beth at Avery’s Farm Market in Truro, Nova Scotia. She’s 74 and she’s never had dental care — until now.”
But the people subscribing to the parody feed weren’t convinced and the 130+ comments on the post pointed out the overall weirdness of the official video.
The obvious back and forth banter between the real and the fake is an important feature of our current political landscape.
It happens multiple times a day on all sides of the political spectrum and is designed specifically to confuse voters, by appealing to their emotions, not their reason or their intellect.
Unless voters and citizens are able to move past this post-modern morass of real and imaginary, where the facts are flexible and truth depends on perspective, the political class and the wealthiest 1% will never have any effective check on their power.
And the great mass of Canadian citizens will become little more than resources for the elites to utilize as they wish.
This isn’t a new problem.
As noted in the October 9th, 2015 CBC on YouTube post, “Negative Ads in Canadian Politics,” this problem has always been with us.
Canadian Museum has $9 Dollar “Racism and Sexism” Tours
Our second story tonight begins with the May 16th, 2024 BlackLock’s Reporter post, “Museum Has $9 Racism Tour, which noted that “Parks Canada on Saturday is reopening John A. Macdonald’s historic Kingston, Ont. home with “racism and sexism” tours. Admission is $9. “Bring an open mind.”
As noted by Brian Lilly in the May 23rd, 2024 Beautiful Canada on YouTube post, “Racist Tour,” this new tour from Parks Canada isn’t going over well.
It’s also worth noting that government announcements, like the one from Parks Canada, are often trial balloons which, if no one objects, are later recrafted into formal government policies.
As outlined in the May 26th, 2024 Freedom Forum post, “The Historic Concept of "Judicial Notice" Has Been Twisted by Canadian Courts,” those policies are often then accepted by the Canadian judicial system as verified facts under the court concept of “judicial notice.”
The concept, allows for government statements and policies to be entered into the legal record during trials without the need for formal proof. Once accepted as “fact” those policies influence court decisions in ways never imagined.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission, established in 1977 by the Government of Canada to settle complaints of discrimination in employment and in the provision of services within federal jurisdiction, is in the process of integrating concepts of “systemic racism” into government policy right now.
Their October 23rd, 2023 “Discussion paper on systemic racism,” is defining the case for future integration of these sorts of policies into Canadian jurisprudence.
The end result of these efforts, when added to other government legislation, is expected to demonize and disenfranchise large swaths of until now legitimate Canadian political viewpoints.
As noted in this clip from this May 10th, 2024 clip from the Candice Malcom show:
Bill C63 Trudeaus Online Harms Bill could be a financial windfall for those sitting around reporting people and also the Government?💰
Anyone can say they are a victim and if the Government agrees you can get $20,000 and the Feds get $50,000.
This is a disaster waiting to happen and a great way to to silence critics of the current Liberal government.
The American Left vs the American Right
Finally tonight, here’s an interesting conversation between American comedian Bill Maher and journalist Meghan Kelly on the topic of Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and the crimes they could each be accused of.
The May 26th, 2024 Mongo Minds on Bitchute post, “Take That Bill,” is taken from the May 21st, 2024 Megan Kelly Show on YouTube post, “Bill Maher on Why Radical Gender Ideology Involving Kids is Like "Entrapment" in Our Culture Today,“ which was re-edited, then reposted to TikToc before ending up on Bitchute.
The clip seems to be almost entirely about competing narratives coming together to confuse opponents, which makes it an interesting discussion of propaganda and how it confuses those who are influenced emotionally by it.
“Roasting the Press,” is an open forum with new media journalists critiquing and complaining about our well funded competitors, the stories they create and the techniques they use.
