Justin Trudeau has proven how he means to beat his terminal unpopularity to attempt to perpetuate himself in energy and get a 3rd mandate: he’ll cry ‘overseas intervention’ to each one in every of his foes.
That is notably absurd as he’s the one with the suspected shady overseas ties, as we are able to recall from this: Trudeau Basis CEO and Board Resign Over Beijing-Linked Donation – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Denies Any Involvement – Canada Struggles Towards Chinese language Election Meddling
However Trudeau has began accusing individuals and international locations left and proper of overseas interference in Canadian affairs, from re-fueling his spat with India, to saying some opposition MPs have overseas ties, to now accusing – with out proof – one essentially the most watched journalists within the US, Tucker Carlson.
Trudeau has mentioned – underneath oath, no much less – that Tucker Carlson is funded by a Russian state-owned media outlet, with out offering any proof for the slanderous declare.
Newsweek reported:
“Trudeau made the allegation about Carlson and fellow conservative media character Jordan Peterson whereas testifying at a public inquiry into overseas interference on Wednesday.”
The unpopular chief was addressing alleged Russian affect in ‘spreading anti-vaccine messaging within the media and on social media’ throughout the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy’, a protest in opposition to COVID-19 madness in Canada that he thwarted by utilizing emergency powers in an unlawful approach.
“’Now we have seen that anti-vax messages throughout the convoy, throughout the pandemic, have been amplified by Russian propaganda, particularly within the media of the appropriate’, Trudeau mentioned, per a translation from French by the Canadian Broadcasting Company.”

Trudeau didn’t present proof for the declare and Newsweek has been unable to independently confirm it. The Tucker Carlson Community, his streaming platform, had beforehand denied that it had ‘carried out any offers with state media in any nation’.”
It’s not shocking {that a} man accustomed to privileges and with low regard for the reality would resort to a ‘Russia, Russia’ hoax since his social gathering fell to third place within the polls.
Conservative chief Poilievre is by far the popular prime minister, with 35.1%, whereas Trudeau has mere 19.4%, intently adopted by NDP chief Jagmeet Singh with 18.5%.
